BreathBreak Privacy Policy

BreathBreak is a Chrome extension that helps you take breathing breaks while browsing social media. This policy explains what data the extension collects and how it is used.

What data we collect

BreathBreak stores the following data locally on your device only, using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API:

• Session timing data (how long you've been on a social media tab)
• Which breathing exercise levels have been triggered and completed
• Whether you resumed scrolling after completing an exercise

This data never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to any server, and we have no access to it.

What data we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your browsing history
• We do not read the content of any web pages you visit
• We do not collect any personally identifiable information
• We do not use cookies or tracking pixels
• We do not share any data with third parties

Permissions used

storage — used solely to save your session stats locally on your device so the popup dashboard can display them.

The extension runs content scripts on Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit. These scripts only manage the session timer and inject the breathing overlay — they do not read or transmit any page content.

Data deletion

All data is stored locally and can be deleted at any time by removing the extension from Chrome, or by clearing the extension's storage via chrome://extensions.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
