Privacy & Cookie Policy

Overview

Breathe Pomodoro ("we," "our," or "us") operates at QuickPomodoro.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Simple version: We collect minimal data, store everything locally in your browser, and use basic analytics to improve the service. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide

When you use the Breathe Pomodoro Timer, you may optionally provide:

• Session intentions: Text you type in the "What will you focus on?" field
• Preferences: Work duration, ambient sound choice, breathing exercise settings

Storage: All this information is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. It never leaves your device and we cannot access it.

2. Automatically Collected Information

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how people use the timer:

• Usage data: Pages visited, session duration, browser type, device type
• Anonymous metrics: Number of timer sessions started, features used
• Technical data: IP address (anonymized), approximate location (city/country level)

Purpose: To improve the timer, understand which features are valuable, and fix bugs.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide the service: The timer functions using your browser's localStorage
• To improve the service: Analytics help us understand what works and what doesn't
• To fix issues: Error tracking helps us identify and resolve bugs

We do NOT:

• Sell your data to third parties
• Use your data for advertising
• Share your data except as required by law
• Track you across other websites
• Store your intention text on our servers

Cookies & Local Storage

Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage to save:

• Session count (number of completed Pomodoros)
• Work duration preference (5-60 minutes)
• Current session intention
• Sound preferences (ambient sound choice, chime on/off)
• Breathing exercise preference (enabled/disabled)

Control: You can clear this data anytime through your browser settings. It's stored only on your device.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics which may set cookies to track:

• Session duration and page views
• How you found our site (referral source)
• Anonymous usage patterns

Control: You can disable analytics cookies through browser settings, use browser extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger), or enable "Do Not Track" in your browser.

Third-Party Services

We use external services that may collect data:

• Google Fonts: Fonts are loaded from Google's CDN (Google's privacy policy applies)
• Google Analytics: Anonymous usage tracking (Google's privacy policy applies)

Note: Ambient sounds are generated locally in your browser using Web Audio API - no external services or data collection.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data: All data is in your browser's localStorage (viewable in DevTools)
• Delete your data: Clear browser localStorage or use browser's "Clear site data" feature
• Opt out of analytics: Use browser Do Not Track, disable cookies, or use privacy extensions
• Use without data collection: The timer works fully with analytics blocked

Data Security

Since all your personal data (intentions, preferences) is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, your data security is primarily controlled by:

• Your browser's security settings
• Your device's security (password, encryption)
• HTTPS encryption for page delivery

We do not store, process, or have access to your session intentions or preferences.

Children's Privacy

The Breathe Pomodoro Timer is a general productivity tool suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all data is stored locally in the browser and we collect only anonymous analytics, no special children's data is collected.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
