Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2025-08-31
TimeDap is a privacy-first time-tracking extension. Processing happens locally in your browser and time logs are stored in Chrome’s storage.local
. We do not operate a backend for TimeDap and we do not sell or share data for advertising.
Data we handle (on your device)
- Browsing activity metadata — the active tab’s URL and title are read to attribute time spent per site. Full page content is not inspected or stored.
- Idle state — to pause/resume timers when you’re away.
- Window and tab focus — to know which site is currently active.
- Local settings and time logs — saved in
storage.local
.
Network requests
To display a small site icon next to each entry, TimeDap fetches favicons from Google’s favicon service:
https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=<domain>&sz=32
- This request reveals the domain name you are viewing to Google in order to retrieve its icon.
- No additional activity data (titles, timestamps, logs, identifiers) is sent in this request.
- If a favicon is unavailable, TimeDap uses a built‑in default icon.
You can disable remote icon fetching in a future settings toggle (planned). When disabled, TimeDap will use the browser-provided tab.favIconUrl
when available or a built‑in default icon.
Permissions we request (and why)
tabs
— read the active tab’s URL/title and listen for tab changes; also used to read favIconUrl
when available.
windows
— detect window focus changes to know when Chrome is active.
idle
— determine when you are inactive so timers can pause.
alarms
— schedule periodic bookkeeping tasks.
storage
— store your settings and time logs locally.
host_permissions
(<all_urls>
) — required so the extension can access the active tab’s URL/title across sites.
Data retention & control
- All time logs are kept locally on your device until you delete them.
- You can clear your local data at any time from the extension settings or by removing the extension.
TimeDap is currently free of charge. Future versions may introduce optional paid features.
