Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 9, 2026
30 Min Timer provides a visual countdown timer for the web and browser extension surfaces. This policy explains what data the product handles and how it is used.
Single purpose
The product's purpose is to let users start, customize, share, and finish visual countdown timers with backgrounds, progress icons, and sound alerts.
Data handled by the timer
- Local timer settings: timer duration, display mode, sound settings, selected icon, background choice, toolbar theme, and recent timer preferences may be stored locally in your browser.
- Shareable timer links: when a shareable timer is created, the service may store timer duration, start time, expiration time, pause state, and timer status so the link can keep working.
- Runtime assets and configuration: the app loads public timer configuration and media assets such as backgrounds, icons, and sound files from the official service and its storage provider.
- Uninstall feedback: if you choose to submit the uninstall feedback form, the service stores your written answer, the feedback source, browser user agent, timestamp, and a hashed IP address for abuse prevention and debugging. Do not include sensitive personal information in this form.
- Server logs: hosting and storage providers may process standard technical logs such as request time, IP address, browser user agent, requested URL, and error information for security, reliability, and debugging.
Data we do not collect
- No account is required to use the timer.
- The extension does not collect browsing history.
- The extension does not read page content from websites you visit.
- The product does not sell personal data.
- The product does not use advertising trackers.
How data is used
Data is used only to provide and improve the timer experience: saving local preferences, running countdowns, playing alerts, loading backgrounds and sounds, focusing an existing timer tab, keeping shareable timer links available, and reviewing optional uninstall feedback.
Chrome Extension permissions
- alarms: used to schedule timer events such as halfway alerts and completion alerts.
- offscreen: used only as a Manifest V3 audio playback fallback for timer sounds when regular page audio is blocked.
- storage: used to save local timer preferences in the browser.
- tabs: used to open the timer tab and focus an existing timer tab instead of creating duplicates.
- host permissions: used to load public timer configuration and media assets from 30mintimer.com and the public storage provider.
Remote code
The Chrome Extension does not execute remote JavaScript or WebAssembly. JavaScript is bundled inside the extension package. External requests are used for timer configuration, public media assets, and timer links.
Sharing and service providers
Data is not sold. The product may use infrastructure providers such as Railway for hosting and Supabase for public media storage and timer data needed by shareable links. These providers process data only to operate the service.
Retention
Local settings stay in your browser until you clear browser data or remove the extension. Server-side timer link data may be kept as long as needed to operate shareable timer links and maintain the service. Optional uninstall feedback may be kept for product review, support, and abuse prevention.
Sensitive information
Do not put passwords, financial data, medical information, legal information, or other sensitive personal information into timer text, URLs, or shared timer links.
