Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2025

1. Information We Don't Collect

10 Minutes of Nothing is designed to be completely private. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information about you, including:

• Your name, email address, or any contact information
• Your usage patterns or app interactions
• Your device information or location
• Any analytics or tracking data
• Your timer sessions or statistics

2. Local Data Storage

All your data stays on your device using your browser's local storage (not cookies):

• Timer Statistics: Your completed sessions, weekly minutes, and streak days are stored locally
• App Settings: Your preferred duration and display mode preferences
• A/B Test Bucket: Which motivational phrase you see (randomly assigned once)
• Usage Flags: Whether you've used fullscreen mode (to hide the button)
• Personal Reflections: Your thoughts and notes from completed sessions

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any servers. Local storage is more secure than cookies and doesn't track you across different websites.

3. No Third-Party Services

We don't use any third-party services that could track you:

• No Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking
• No advertising networks or marketing tools
• No social media integrations

• A/B Test Bucket: Which motivational phrase you see (randomly assigned once)
• Usage Flags: Whether you've used fullscreen mode (to hide the button)

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any servers. Local storage is different from cookies - it's more secure and doesn't track you across websites.

Since all data is stored locally on your device, your data security depends on your device's security measures. We recommend:

• Keeping your device's operating system updated
• Using a secure browser
• Not sharing your device with others if you want to keep your statistics private

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we don't collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes.
