This policy covers Reminder App from the release that opens its feedback pages on this website. Version 1.6.0, in the Chrome Web Store today, keeps the policy its store listing links to until that release replaces it.
Reminder App (“Reminder”, “we”, “us”) is a Chrome extension for reminders. It has no account and no servers of ours. Your reminders stay in your browser and, if you use Chrome Sync, in your Google account. We don’t show ads, don’t sell or share data, and don’t track the pages you visit. This policy covers the extension; the website reminder.page has its own policy.
What the extension keeps, and where
- Reminders, labels and settings are kept in Chrome’s storage for extensions. Reminders, labels and most settings use Chrome’s synced storage, which Chrome copies to the other computers where you’re signed in to Chrome with sync turned on. Google provides Chrome Sync under Google’s own privacy policy. Settings that belong to one computer (such as the theme or whether reminders ring on it) stay on that computer.
- Backups: up to seven daily backups, and the one taken before a restore, are kept on your computer only. “Download Backup” saves a file wherever you choose.
- Debug logs: only if you turn on debug mode in Settings. They stay on your computer, with reminder titles, details, links and label names removed, and leave it only if you export them and send them to us yourself.
None of this is sent to us.
What the extension reads
- When you choose “Add as Reminder” in the right-click menu, it reads the text you selected, or the page’s title, and the link, to fill in the new reminder. It reads nothing else from the page, and only when you choose that item.
- When a reminder has a link, the extension opens it at the reminder’s time.
Calendars you subscribe to
The extension’s catalogue offers calendars whose dates ring as reminders. Most are worked out on your computer (public holidays of most countries, the faith calendars, the moon and seasons), and nothing is sent anywhere for them. A few are downloaded from their publishers: Google’s holiday calendars (for India, Pakistan, Korea, Russia, Turkey, Argentina, Indonesia, the Philippines, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Vietnam, and Hindu holidays), China’s holidays from chinese-days on jsDelivr, motor racing from f1calendar.com, and the release schedules of Python, GNOME and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.
- When you subscribe to one of these, each of your computers that rings it downloads it from its publisher, about once a day (every six hours for motor racing). The request carries no cookies and nothing about you or your reminders. Like any visit to a website, it tells the publisher your computer’s internet address, which calendar it asks for and, for Google’s, in which language. Google, jsDelivr and the others handle it under their own privacy policies.
- Which calendars you subscribed to, with their settings, sync like your settings; the dates each computer downloads stay on that computer.
- Your own calendar, by its address (Google Calendar’s secret address, a calendar Outlook or iCloud publishes, one a school, a town or a Meetup group offers): each computer that rings it downloads it from that address, about every three hours, with no cookies; like any visit, the site sees your computer’s internet address. Such an address can work like a password, so by default it stays on the computer where you paste it, in the extension’s storage there; if you choose to ring the calendar on all your computers, its address syncs with your Chrome account like your settings. The address is never written to the extension’s logs, the feedback pages’ technical details or backup files, and once saved the extension shows only its site. The calendar’s events stay on each computer that downloads them, and the extension never changes your calendar.
What reaches us: feedback
The extension sends nothing to us on its own. Feedback goes through two pages of this website, which send it to our feedback form, a Google Form:
- Send feedback opens when you choose “Report an issue” in Settings, or rate the extension 1 to 3 stars in it.
- The page shown after removing the extension opens when you remove it: the extension tells Chrome in advance which page to open then.
Both open in Chrome’s language where this website has it, and in English otherwise.
- Technical details. The extension puts them in the page’s link: where the page was opened from, the extension’s version, your browser and operating system with their versions, and Chrome’s language. When the extension can count them, they also say whether you or an administrator installed it and about how long ago, and give rough figures in ranges: about how many reminders you have and how many rang on this computer, how many labels, how many computers use it on your Chrome account, whether Chrome blocks its notifications and how reminders are set to ring, which features you have used, how the introduction and the notification check ended, and how full Chrome’s synced storage for it is. They never include your reminders, your calendars or their addresses, the pages you visit, or anything that identifies you. They sit in the part of the link after #, which your browser doesn’t send to any server when it opens the page. The page lists them under “Technical details sent with your answer”.
- What the page sends to the form: the reason you pick, the text you type when you press Send, the technical details, and the page’s address with whether the answer went with Send or on leaving. It sends this once per visit: when you press Send, or when you leave or close the page after picking a reason. The page shown after removing the extension also sends the technical details once, with no reason, when you leave or close it without answering, so we can see when people leave. Text you type is sent only when you press Send.
- No name, email address, identifier, cookie or reminder is sent. Google, which hosts the form, receives your IP address with the submission, as with any form. Cloudflare, which hosts this website, receives the technical details of each request (such as your IP address and browser) to deliver the page; see the website’s policy.
- What you choose and write is used only to understand and fix problems. Answers are kept in the developer’s Google account, as long as they help improve the extension. To have yours deleted, write to us.
- Earlier versions opened the Google Form itself, with the technical details filled in, among them your time zone and the languages your browser asks pages in. You could read, edit or clear them there, and nothing became an answer until you pressed Submit.
Google hosts the form under Google’s privacy policy.
Other pages the extension opens
After an install, the extension opens its welcome page, which is part of the extension. When you rate it 4 or 5 stars, it opens its page in the Chrome Web Store, with a tag in the link saying how many stars, which Google runs under its own privacy policy. This policy and the feedback pages are on this website.
Permissions
- Storage: to keep your reminders, labels and settings.
- Alarms: to ring reminders on time.
- Notifications: to show reminders.
- Offscreen: to play reminder sounds.
- Side panel: to show the extension in Chrome’s side panel.
- Context menus and active tab: for “Add as Reminder” in the right-click menu, which reads the page you’re on only when you choose it.
- Access to a calendar’s site (calendar.google.com, motorsportcalendars.com, or the site of a calendar you add by its address): asked only when you subscribe to a calendar from there, one site at a time and on each of your computers, to download that calendar. The extension downloads only the calendar you subscribed to, without your cookies, so it can’t sign in or see anything else on that site, and the access is given back when no calendar reads that site any more.
What we don’t do
No ads, no analytics or tracking inside the extension, no selling or sharing of data, and no code loaded from elsewhere.
Children
Reminder is not directed at children under 13, and it collects no personal information from anyone through the extension itself. Schools that install it for students should know that only feedback reaches us: what the feedback pages send, as described above.
Your rights
You can delete your reminders in the extension at any time; removing the extension deletes what it keeps on that computer. Where data protection laws give you rights over your information (such as access, correction or deletion of a feedback answer), write to us and we’ll act on your request.
Changes
When this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and important changes are announced in the extension.
