Privacy First

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 1, 2026 · Effective Date: October 1, 2026

🔒 Privacy Summary in Plain English

We believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Online Pomodoro Timer Free collects zero personal information, requires no account registration, uses no tracking cookies, and runs no user profiling. All your timer durations, task lists, ambient sound choices, and focus streaks remain stored exclusively on your device in your browser's local memory.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Because Online Pomodoro Timer Free operates as a client-side static web application without a centralized user database or authentication backend, we do not collect:

  • Your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.
  • Passkeys, passwords, or authentication credentials.
  • Payment details, credit card numbers, or billing info (the service is 100% free).
  • Browser fingerprinting identifiers or advertising profiling IDs.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device (localStorage)

To provide persistent functionality across sessions without requiring a login, we utilize the browser's native localStorage API. This data never leaves your browser and is never transmitted to any external server:

pomodoro-settings: Custom timer durations (pomodoro, short break, long break), auto-start preferences, and alarm volume.
pomodoro-tasks: Your task titles and estimated vs. completed pomodoro counts.
pomodoro-stats: Your daily completed session count and active streak for personal tracking.
pomodoro-theme-color & pomodoro-bg-scene: Visual scenery, ring color theme, and weather mode preferences.

You can delete or reset this data at any time by clicking "Reset Defaults" inside the website's Settings panel, or by clearing your browser's site data.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, cross-site trackers, or third-party behavioral analytics. Any temporary session tokens are purely handled in client memory for timer countdown state.

4. Third-Party Services & Assets

Our application relies on minimal third-party external services:

  • Google Fonts: Used to render the modern, accessible "Inter" typeface. When your browser loads the font files, your IP address is processed temporarily by Google solely to deliver the font file.
  • Static Hosting CDN: Assets are served via standard static cloud CDN nodes (e.g. GitHub Pages / Cloudflare) to ensure fast global delivery. Standard non-identifying server logs (IP address, user-agent) may be recorded for network security and DDoS mitigation.

5. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA / GDPR-K)

Our website is designed for general audiences, including students. Because we do not collect personal data of any kind, we fully adhere to COPPA and GDPR provisions protecting minors' online privacy.

6. Changes to this Policy

Any future revisions to our Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with an updated timestamp. Because we remain committed to a zero-data architecture, our privacy-first philosophy will not change.
