Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Mindful Reminders Chrome Extension ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use our extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our service. All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage APIs.

2.1 Data Stored Locally

Data Type	Purpose	Storage Location
Manifestation Messages	Display your custom affirmations and manifestation texts	Chrome Sync Storage (Local)
Image URLs	Show vision board images in manifestation reminders	Chrome Sync Storage (Local)
Task Descriptions	Display your task reminders	Chrome Sync Storage (Local)
Scheduled Times	Trigger reminders at your specified times	Chrome Sync Storage (Local)
Repeat Settings	Determine if tasks repeat daily or show once	Chrome Sync Storage (Local)

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively to provide the extension's core functionality:

• Display Reminders: Show your manifestation and task reminders at scheduled times
• Store Preferences: Remember your settings and customizations
• Sync Across Devices: Allow your reminders to sync across your Chrome browsers
• Provide Notifications: Send desktop notifications for your reminders

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage Only

All your data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage APIs. We do not have access to your data, and it never leaves your device unless you choose to sync it across your Chrome browsers.

4.2 Chrome Sync Storage

When you enable Chrome sync, your reminder data is encrypted and synced across your devices through Google's secure infrastructure. This is handled entirely by Chrome, not by our extension.

4.3 Data Security

• All data is encrypted by Chrome's storage system
• No external servers or databases are used
• No network transmission of your personal data
• Code is obfuscated to protect intellectual property

5. Permissions and Why We Need Them

Our extension requests minimal permissions necessary for functionality:

5.1 Required Permissions

• storage: Save your reminder data locally
• alarms: Schedule automatic reminder notifications
• activeTab: Display reminder modals on your current webpage
• notifications: Show desktop notifications for reminders

6. Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services. The extension operates entirely independently without external dependencies.

6.1 Image URLs

When you provide image URLs for manifestation reminders, these images are loaded directly from their source (e.g., Pixabay, Unsplash). We do not store or process these images on our servers.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

8. Your Rights and Control

8.1 Data Control

• View Your Data: All your data is visible in the extension popup
• Delete Data: Remove any reminder using the delete button
• Clear All Data: Uninstall the extension to remove all data
• Export Data: Your data is stored in Chrome's sync storage and can be accessed through Chrome's settings

8.2 Chrome Sync Control

You can control data syncing through Chrome's sync settings. Disabling sync will keep your data local to each device.

9. Children's Privacy

Our extension does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The extension is safe for users of all ages as it only stores user-created reminder content locally.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

11. Data Retention

Your data is retained until you choose to delete it or uninstall the extension. There is no automatic data deletion, giving you full control over your information.

12. International Users

Since all data is stored locally on your device, there are no international data transfers. Your data remains on your device regardless of your location.

13. Compliance

This extension is designed to comply with:

• Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) principles
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) principles
• Chrome Extension Manifest V3 requirements
