Routine Breaker (“the Extension”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a Chrome browser extension designed to help users improve self-control, manage their time online, and gain awareness of their browsing habits in order to make better long-term life decisions.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, how it is stored, and your rights as a user.
1. Purpose of the Extension
Routine Breaker has a single core purpose:
To help users understand, analyze, and limit their web browsing behavior by tracking time spent on websites and enforcing user-defined restrictions to prevent unproductive habits.
All data access and permissions are strictly limited to fulfilling this purpose.
2. Data We Collect
Routine Breaker may collect and process the following data only to provide its core functionality:
a. Web Browsing History (Locally Processed)
- URLs visited
- Page titles
- Time spent on each website
- Tab activity (open/close times)
This data is used exclusively to:
- Analyze browsing habits
- Display usage statistics and charts
- Enforce time limits on user-selected websites
b. User Preferences
- Blocked or limited domains
- Time limits per website
- Extension configuration settings
These preferences are stored using Chrome’s local storage APIs.
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
Routine Breaker does not collect, store, or process:
- Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, age, ID numbers)

- Personal communications (emails, messages, chats)

4. How Data Is Used
All collected data is used solely to:
- Track time spent on websites
- Notify users when time limits are reached
- Block access to user-selected URLs when limits expire

- Improve user productivity and self-awareness
We do not use data for advertising, profiling, or unrelated purposes.
5. AI Features and Remote Services
Routine Breaker may use remote services (including AI-based analysis) to provide optional optimization insights and suggestions related to productivity and browsing behavior.
Important notes:
- No personally identifiable information is sent to remote services.
- Data shared (if any) is minimal, anonymized, and strictly related to productivity insights.
- No raw browsing history is sold, shared, or reused outside the extension’s purpose.
6. Data Storage and Security
- Data is stored locally in the user’s browser using Chrome’s secure storage APIs.
- Any remote communication is encrypted using HTTPS.
- We implement reasonable technical measures to protect user data from unauthorized access.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or transfer user data to third parties.
Data is only shared if:
- Required to provide the core functionality of the extension
- Required by law or legal obligation
In all cases, data usage remains aligned with this Privacy Policy.
8. User Control and Choice
Users have full control over:
- Which websites are tracked or restricted

Users may uninstall the extension at any time, which removes all locally stored data.
