Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
Overview
SmartTimeTracking Plus is a browser extension that automatically tracks time spent per client while you work. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
Data We Collect
- User ID — Read from your session cookie to identify your account.
- Site Code — Identifies which organization you belong to.
- Client Information — The client ID and name displayed on the page you are viewing.
- Time Data — Session start time, end time, and active duration.
How We Use Your Data
All collected data is used solely to provide time tracking functionality, including:
- Recording which client you are working on and for how long.
- Displaying session and daily time totals in the extension popup.
- Syncing time entries to your organization's dashboard for reporting.
Data Storage
Time entries are stored locally in your browser until they are synced to our server. Server-side data is stored in a secure, encrypted database (Supabase) and is scoped to your organization. Only authorized users within your organization can view your time data.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties. Your data is only accessible to authorized members of your organization through the SmartTimeTracking Plus dashboard.
Permissions
- Tabs — Detect navigation to/from the tracked site to start and pause tracking.
- Idle — Pause tracking when you are away from your computer.
- Cookies — Read your session cookie on the tracked site to identify your account.
- Storage — Save tracking state and pending entries locally.
- Alarms — Periodic sync of time entries to the server.
- Host permissions — The extension declares broad host access so your administrator can configure the tracked site remotely without requiring an extension update. The content script only activates on the admin-configured domain and exits immediately on all other sites.
