Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how “Arrive on Time” (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our browser extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

Information We Collect

Google Calendar Access

  • Read-Only Access: Our extension requires permission to view your Google Calendar events
  • Purpose: To identify upcoming meetings and their associated Google Meet links
  • Scope: We only access calendar data to find meeting times and links; we cannot create, edit, or delete events

Authentication Information

  • Google OAuth: We use Google’s secure authentication system
  • What We Don’t See: Your password and personal account details are never accessed by our extension
  • What We Do See: Basic account information necessary for authentication (email address, name)

How We Use Your Information

Primary Function

The extension uses your calendar data solely to:

  1. Monitor for upcoming Google Meet events
  2. Automatically open the correct meeting link 2 minutes before scheduled start time

No Data Processing

  • Local Processing Only: All calendar data processing happens locally in your browser
  • No Server Transmission: Your calendar information never leaves your computer
  • No Storage: We do not store, log, or retain any of your calendar data

Data Security

Local Processing

  • All data processing occurs within your browser’s secure environment
  • No calendar data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services
  • Your information remains under your control at all times

Google’s Security

  • We rely on Google’s robust security infrastructure for authentication
  • All communication with Google’s services uses industry-standard encryption
  • We follow Google’s OAuth 2.0 best practices

What We Don’t Do

We Do Not:

  • Store your calendar data on our servers
  • Track your browsing history or website activity
  • Share your information with third parties
  • Use your data for advertising or marketing purposes
  • Monitor your meeting content or communications
  • Access any information beyond what’s necessary for the extension’s core function

Data Retention

No Data Storage

Since we don’t collect or store your calendar data, there is no data retention policy to apply. Your information remains on Google’s servers and is subject to Google’s own privacy policies.

Extension Data

The only data we may store locally is:

  • Your authentication status (to avoid repeated login prompts)
  • Extension settings and preferences

Third-Party Services

Google Services

  • Google Calendar API: Used for reading calendar events
  • Google OAuth: Used for secure authentication
  • Google Meet: Used for meeting links (we only open the links, don’t access content)

We do not use any other third-party services that would have access to your data.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

  • You can revoke the extension’s access to your Google Calendar at any time through your Google Account settings
  • You can uninstall the extension at any time to stop all data access
  • You can disable the extension temporarily without losing your settings

Data Portability

Since we don’t store your data, there is no data to export or transfer.

Children’s Privacy

Our extension is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
