Privacy Policy

Trcker is a Chrome extension that pairs with the Trcker desktop app to help users log time on Jira issues. The extension watches which Jira tickets are open in your browser and tells the desktop app, so the desktop app can offer a one-click Start/Stop timer for the ticket you are looking at.

This Privacy Policy describes the data the extension accesses, how it is used, and where it is sent. It applies only to the Trcker browser extension. The Trcker desktop app and the Trcker website have their own behaviour and are not the subject of this page.

For each tab you have open on an Atlassian Jira site (*.atlassian.net), the extension reads:

• the Jira issue key (for example PROJ-123), extracted from the page's URL or the ticket breadcrumb;
• the issue summary— the short ticket title that appears in the browser tab's title.

The extension does not read or collect:

• page content, comments, attachments, or any other Jira ticket fields;
• your Jira login, password, session cookie, or API token;
• browsing history outside of *.atlassian.net;
• form input, keystrokes, or clipboard contents;
• any personally identifiable information beyond the Jira issue key and title.

The list of visible Jira tickets and the currently active ticket are sent to the Trcker desktop app so it can:

• show the right ticket in its tray menu;
• offer a Start/Stop timer button on the Jira page itself;
• start, stop, or switch a timer when you click that button.

The extension does not use this data for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any purpose unrelated to time tracking.

The browser extension itself does not store anything persistently in Chrome. It does not use chrome.storage, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, or any other persistent browser storage.

Any temporary state is only held in memory by the extension's service worker and can be discarded when the browser shuts down, when the service worker stops, or when the extension reloads.

The Trcker Chrome extension does not transmit Jira ticket data to:

• external servers,
• third-party services,
• advertisers, or
• analytics providers.

The browser extension does not send Jira ticket data to Trcker servers.

The only network destination the extension communicates with is http://127.0.0.1:27420. That address is a loopback (localhost) endpoint, which means the requests never leave your computer — they are handled by the Trcker desktop app running locally on the same machine. If the desktop app is not running, the requests simply fail.

The extension requests the following permissions, each for a specific reason:

• tabs— required to enumerate open browser tabs and read each tab's URL and title, so the extension can find which Jira issue keys you currently have open.
• Host access to *://*.atlassian.net/*— required to run a small content script on Jira pages that reads the issue key from the ticket breadcrumb and injects the Start/Stop button.
• Host access to http://127.0.0.1:27420/*— required to send the visible-tickets list and timer commands to the Trcker desktop app on your own computer over a loopback connection.

All executable code is packaged with the extension. The extension does not download, load, or execute remote code, remote scripts, or remote stylesheets. There is no use of eval, new Function(), dynamically injected <script> tags, or external CDNs.

The Trcker Chrome extension itself retains no persistent data.

Data sent to the Trcker desktop app stays on the user's computer. The desktop app may keep an in-memory list of currently visible tickets and a local SQLite cache of recent tickets and active timers in the operating system's application-data directory.

This information is not transmitted to external servers by the browser extension.

Trcker is a developer productivity tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

If the extension's data behaviour changes, this page will be updated and the effective date at the top will change. Material changes will also be reflected in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.

Questions about this policy or about the data behaviour of the extension can be sent to trcker@rsz-holding.eu.
