# Privacy Policy for RealEyeRest — 20-30-20 Eye Breaks

**Last updated:** 7 August 2026

**Product homepage:** https://github.com/realsudipkandel/realeyerest

RealEyeRest (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension that reminds you to follow a 20-30-20 eye break schedule while you work in Chrome.

## Summary

RealEyeRest does not transmit, sell, or share personal information. Schedule state is stored only on your device. RealEyeRest does not use Google APIs to access browsing history or account data.

## Data stored locally

RealEyeRest uses `chrome.storage.local` to save:

- Schedule status (`running` or `paused`)
- Next break time (`nextBreakAt`)
- Last completed break time (`lastBreakAt`)
- Schema version for local migrations

This data never leaves your device and is not synced to RealEyeRest servers (RealEyeRest has no servers).

## Data not collected

RealEyeRest does not collect:

- Names, email addresses, or account information
- Browsing history or website content
- Location data
- Health, financial, or authentication information
- Analytics, advertising identifiers, or usage telemetry
- Cookies or similar tracking technologies

## How the extension works

- The popup and rest screen run locally in extension pages
- Break reminders use the Chrome `alarms` API while Chrome is running
- Notifications use the Chrome `notifications` API to alert you when a break is due
- No remote scripts, fonts, images, audio files, or configuration files are fetched

## Permissions

- **storage** — save schedule state locally
- **alarms** — schedule 20-minute break reminders
- **notifications** — notify you when it is time to rest your eyes

RealEyeRest makes **no network requests**.

RealEyeRest does **not** change Chrome search settings and does not replace the new-tab page.

## Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

RealEyeRest is designed to comply with the [Chrome Web Store User Data Policy](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/program-policies/user-data-faq), including Limited Use requirements. Local schedule state is used only to provide the eye break timer feature.

## Children’s privacy

RealEyeRest does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

## Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy changes, the “Last updated” date at the top will be revised.
