Privacy Policy — Eye Flow

Last updated: 2026-05-12

Eye Flow is a free Chrome extension that delivers the 20-20-20 eye-break rhythm. This policy explains what data we handle and how.

The short version: we don't collect any data.

---

Information we collect

None.

Eye Flow does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable information, health data, financial data, authentication data, personal communications, location data, web history, user activity, or website content.

We do not require an account. We do not ask for an email address. We do not generate or read any identifier that could be used to track you.

---

Information stored on your device

Eye Flow stores the following information locally on your device only, using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API:

• Your settings (eye-break interval, break duration, skip-hold time, sound on/off, language preference)
• Your timer state (when the current work session started, accumulated pause time, when the last break occurred)
• Your "today's focus" task and task list — if you choose to enter them

This data never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to any server. It is not sent to us. It is not sent to any third party. It is not used for analytics, telemetry, advertising, or any other purpose.

If you uninstall Eye Flow, this data is deleted automatically by Chrome.

---

Permissions we request, and why

Eye Flow requests three Chrome permissions, each scoped strictly to the extension's single purpose:

• alarms — to schedule the recurring 20-minute eye-break reminder using Chrome's low-power scheduling API.
• notifications — to deliver the break reminder when the popup is closed (which is the normal case, since you'll be working in another tab).
• storage — to remember your settings and timer state locally, so the extension behaves correctly across browser sessions.

Eye Flow does not request host_permissions for any website. It cannot read or modify the content of any page you visit.

---

Network requests

Eye Flow makes zero outbound network requests during normal operation. All code is bundled into the extension package; nothing is fetched from a remote server at runtime.

---

Third parties

Eye Flow does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, telemetry, or SDK. There are no third parties involved.

---

Changes to this policy

If we ever change the data practices of Eye Flow, we will update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. Any change that would result in data collection will require an explicit opt-in from you and will be announced prominently in the extension's update notes.
