Privacy Policy for Study Partner
Effective Date: June 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the Study Partner browser extension handles user data. We believe in complete transparency and privacy.

1. Data Collection and Usage
   Study Partner does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or user information. All processes happen entirely locally on your device:

User Interaction Tracking: The extension monitors interaction events (such as mouse movements and keystrokes) strictly within the local context of your open browser tabs. This is used solely to detect inactivity and trigger the automated video pause feature. This data is never logged, saved, or sent anywhere.

Local Storage: Any configurations or preferences you adjust (like changing the countdown duration or timer thresholds) are saved locally on your own machine using the browser’s native storage API (chrome.storage or browser.storage).

1. Remote Servers and Third Parties
   No Remote Servers: Study Partner does not connect to any external databases or remote servers.

No Data Sharing: Because we do not collect any data, we do not—and cannot—sell, trade, or transfer any information to third parties.

No Remotely Hosted Code: The extension operates using 100% local, pre-packaged code to ensure your browsing remains secure and independent of external script injections.

1. Permissions Used
   To function properly, the extension requests the following browser permissions:

storage: Used to remember your customized focus settings across browsing sessions.

Host Permissions: Required to detect user interaction events (such as mouse movements and keystrokes) and execute the pause command dynamically across the web pages where you initiate a video-based study session.

1. Changes to This Policy
   We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications to the extension. Any changes will be updated directly on this page or within the store listing.
