Privacy Policy
At BrkBuddy, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our web application.
1. Information We Collect
Local Storage Only: BrkBuddy is designed to operate entirely on your device. All your data, including settings, break schedules, and usage statistics, are stored locally using your browser's localStorage feature. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal information on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information. The app uses your data solely to:
- Remember your personalized break schedule settings
- Track your usage statistics to display in the Log and View sections
- Provide features like notifications and timer functionality
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not share any of your information with third parties, as we don't collect or store your data on our servers. Any data generated while using BrkBuddy remains on your device.
4. PWA and Service Workers
BrkBuddy functions as a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means it uses a service worker to provide offline functionality. The service worker caches app resources locally on your device for improved performance and offline access but does not transmit your data outside your device.
5. Notifications
If you enable notifications, BrkBuddy will send local notifications to your device when timers complete. These notifications are generated locally and do not involve any external servers.
6. Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, data security largely depends on your device's security measures. We recommend keeping your browser updated and using standard security practices on your device.
7. Data Retention
Your data remains stored in your browser's localStorage until you:
- Clear your browser's cache/storage
- Use the browser's privacy features to delete site data
- Uninstall the PWA (if installed)
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
