Privacy Policy

Last updated:

At Nudge, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, where it is stored, and with whom it is shared when you use our Chrome extension.

1. Data We Collect

Nudge collects only the data necessary to provide its core functionality. We never read, harvest, or transmit the content of your emails, LinkedIn messages, or WhatsApp conversations.

  • Task metadata: Contact name, task description, reminder date/time, conversation URL, CRM pipeline stage, completion status, and timestamps - entered by you when saving a task.
  • Account information (authenticated users): Firebase Authentication user ID (UID) and ID token, obtained when you sign in with Google or email/password via Firebase.
  • Installation ID (guest users): A randomly generated identifier stored locally to associate your tasks before you sign in.
  • Settings: Your in-extension preferences (e.g., owner name, pipeline configuration).
  • Internal debug logs: Timestamped event logs (e.g., sync success/failure) stored locally in chrome.storage.local for troubleshooting. These are never transmitted automatically.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To create, display, and manage your follow-up tasks and reminders.
  • To trigger Chrome desktop notifications at your chosen reminder times via Chrome Alarms API.
  • To sync your tasks and settings across devices when you are signed in (via Firebase/Firestore).
  • To merge guest tasks into your account upon sign-in, if you choose to do so.
  • To display your tasks in the CRM-style dashboard and pipeline views.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the extension.

3. Data Storage

  • Local storage: Tasks, settings, installation ID, alarm index, and debug logs are stored in chrome.storage.local on your device.
  • Cloud storage (authenticated users): Tasks and settings are synced to and stored in Google Firebase Firestore (project: task-crm-edf17), a cloud database operated by Google LLC. Data is stored under a document keyed to your Firebase UID.
  • Cloud storage (guest users): Tasks and settings are stored only in chrome.storage.local on your device. No data is written to Firestore for guest sessions.

4. Data Sharing

We share your data only as described below. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

  • Google Firebase / Firestore (Google LLC): Authenticated users' task data and settings are stored in Firestore and processed by Google's infrastructure. Firebase Authentication tokens are exchanged with Google's Identity Toolkit and Secure Token Service APIs. Google's use of this data is governed by the Firebase Privacy Policy.
  • No other third parties: We do not share your data with any other third-party services, analytics providers, advertisers, or data brokers.

5. Permissions and Website Access

Nudge requests access to the following sites solely to inject the "Save as Task" button and read the current conversation URL - no message content is read or transmitted:

  • linkedin.com/messaging
  • mail.google.com
  • outlook.live.com and outlook.office.com
  • web.whatsapp.com

The extension also uses Chrome storage, Chrome alarms, Chrome notifications, and activeTab permissions to deliver reminders and manage tasks.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

  • Local data is retained until you uninstall the extension or manually clear it from the dashboard.
  • Cloud data (Firestore) is retained until you delete your account or request deletion by contacting us at sales@brilworks.com. We will delete your Firestore document within 30 days of a verified request.

7. Data Security

All communication with Firebase/Firestore is encrypted in transit via HTTPS. Access to your Firestore data is protected by Firebase Authentication - only your authenticated session can read or write your profile document. We request only the minimum permissions required to operate the extension.

8. Children's Privacy

Nudge is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact Us
