Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Overview

PingLater is a browser extension that helps you snooze tabs and get reminded about them later. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data.

TL;DR: We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Everything stays on your device.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data.

PingLater does not:

  • Collect personal information
  • Track your browsing history
  • Send data to external servers
  • Use analytics or tracking tools
  • Store any data outside your browser

Data Storage

All data created by PingLater (your snoozed tabs, reminders, categories, and settings) is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync).

If you use Chrome Sync, some settings may be synced across your devices through your Google account. This is handled entirely by Chrome — we have no access to this data.

Permissions

PingLater requests the following browser permissions:

  • tabs — To read the current tab's URL and title when you snooze it
  • alarms — To schedule reminders
  • notifications — To show reminder notifications
  • storage — To save your snoozed tabs and settings locally
  • contextMenus — To add right-click menu options

These permissions are used solely to provide the extension's core functionality.

Third-Party Services

PingLater does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or external APIs. The extension works entirely offline.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it:

  • Uninstalling the extension will remove all associated data
  • You can clear history and pending reminders from within the extension
  • Clearing Chrome's extension data will also remove all PingLater data

Children's Privacy

PingLater is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
