Clockwork Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

Overview

Clockwork is a Chrome extension that automatically tracks time spent on websites to help you understand and optimize your productivity. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

What Data We Collect

When you use Clockwork, the extension automatically collects and stores the following data locally in your browser:

• Website URLs - Domain names of websites you visit (e.g., github.com, gmail.com)
• Page Titles - Browser tab titles to identify specific activities
• Time Spent - Duration of time spent on each website
• Activity Categories - Automated classification (e.g., "Coding", "Email", "Design")
• Timestamps - When activities started and ended

Where Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored exclusively in your Chrome browser's local storage.

• ✅ Data never leaves your device
• ✅ No cloud storage
• ✅ No external servers
• ✅ No database on our end
• ✅ Protected by Chrome's security model

How We Use Your Data

Your tracked data is used exclusively within the extension to:

• Display your personal time tracking dashboard
• Generate daily, weekly activity summaries
• Categorize websites automatically for easier analysis
• Create CSV export files (processed locally on your device)

What We Do NOT Do With Your Data:

• ❌ Send your data to any servers (ours or third-party)
• ❌ Share, sell, or transfer data to third parties
• ❌ Use your data for advertising or marketing
• ❌ Track your behavior outside the extension
• ❌ Create user profiles or analytics
• ❌ Access your data remotely

Data Security

Your data security is ensured through:

• Local-only storage - Data never transmitted over the internet
• Chrome's encrypted storage - Protected by browser security
• No authentication - No passwords or accounts that could be compromised
• User-controlled access - Only you can view your data through the extension

Your Privacy Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: View all your tracked data anytime in the extension dashboard
• Export: Download your complete data as CSV at any time
• Delete: Simply uninstall the extension to permanently delete all data
• Control: No account signup means no data retention policies - you're in total control

Third-Party Services

Clockwork does not integrate with, use, or transmit data to any third-party services, including:

• No analytics services (Google Analytics, etc.)
• No tracking services
• No advertising networks
• No cloud storage providers
• No external APIs or servers

Cookies and Tracking

Clockwork does not use cookies or any tracking mechanisms.

The extension only uses Chrome's local storage API to save your time tracking data on your device.

Children's Privacy

Clockwork is intended for professional and personal productivity use by adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has used this extension, please contact us.

Data Retention

Data is retained locally in your browser indefinitely until you:

• Manually delete it from the extension
• Clear your browser data
• Uninstall the extension

We do not have access to your data, so we cannot delete it on our end. You have full control.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

Continued use of Clockwork after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information. However, because Clockwork stores all data locally on your device and we never collect, access, or process your data, CCPA rights regarding data access, deletion, and portability are inherently provided through your control of your local browser storage.

GDPR Compliance (European Users)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), Clockwork complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by design:

• Data Minimization: We only collect data necessary for time tracking functionality
• Purpose Limitation: Data is used only for providing time tracking features
• Storage Limitation: You control data retention
• Data Portability: Export your data as CSV anytime
• Right to Erasure: Uninstall the extension to delete all data
