Privacy policy

This policy covers the Hatch It Chrome extension, developed by Honeylyn Tutor.

Effective date: November 9, 2026 · Last updated: November 9, 2026

The short version. Hatch It keeps everything on your device. We do not run servers for it, we do not collect your data, and we do not receive anything you type.

1. What Hatch It stores, and where

Hatch It stores the following in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own device:

• launch names, start and target dates, archive notes, and launched status
• task titles, due dates, status and dependencies
• owner names you type in (these can identify real people, see section 6)
• an activity log of changes you make
• your name or a profile label, if you choose to enter one (used for “Logging as” in the activity log and to replace “You” on tasks you own)
• your theme choice (light or dark)

This data is created by you. It is not sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see it or recover it. Because it never reaches us, deleting it is something only you can do (see section 5). Because nothing is sent to us, there is no legal basis for us to process it: we are not a controller or processor of the data stored on your device.

2. What we do not do

• No accounts, sign-in or registration.
• No analytics, tracking, advertising, fingerprinting or cookies.
• No selling, sharing, renting or transferring your data to third parties.
• No remote code and no requests to any server.
• No use of your data for profiling, automated decisions, credit or lending decisions, or to train AI models.
• Hatch It's use of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is used only to provide the extension's single purpose: tracking your launches and tasks in a side panel.

3. Permissions

Hatch It requests only sidePanel (to display the interface in Chrome's side panel) and storage (to save your data locally). It does not read the web pages you visit, your browsing history, tabs, or anything outside its own panel.

4. Backups and exports

The Export backup button saves a file to your device. You choose where it goes and who sees it. The file is not encrypted, so keep it safe and don't share it publicly if it contains names or other personal details. Import reads a file you choose, locally on your device, and checks it before replacing your data. Backup files are never uploaded anywhere.

5. Retention and deletion

Your data stays until you remove it. You can delete a launch, use Delete all data in Settings, or remove the extension, which deletes the locally stored data. All of these are actions you take yourself; we cannot do them for you. Chrome profile sync does not upload this data (the extension uses local, not synced, storage). If you use Chrome's device-level backup or another backup tool, those may copy your browser profile; that is outside Hatch It's control.

6. Other people's information

If you type another person's name as a task owner, you are responsible for having a reason to do so. Keep it to what you need (for example a first name or role) and avoid sensitive details about anyone. We recommend not storing passwords, payment card numbers, government IDs, health data, or other sensitive information in Hatch It. The extension does not encrypt your data.

7. Your rights (EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland, US states and elsewhere)

Because we do not hold or receive your data, we have nothing to access, correct, export or erase on our side, and no data to sell or share. You can exercise all of these directly: view and edit in the app, export a backup, and delete everything in Settings. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and similar laws) you may also have the right to ask us what we hold, to object, or to complain to a regulator; contact us at the address above and we will confirm that we hold no personal data about you from the extension. EU/UK users can complain to their local data protection authority. In the Netherlands this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). We aim to reply to privacy requests within 30 days. California: we do not sell or share personal information, and do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics. The same applies in other US states with privacy laws (for example Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and others): we do not sell your data, share it for targeted advertising, or profile you. Similar rights exist in other places, including Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA and provincial laws), Australia (Privacy Act), Japan (APPI), South Korea (PIPA), India (DPDP Act), Singapore (PDPA), South Africa (POPIA) and Switzerland (FADP). Because Hatch It collects no personal data, we do not expect these laws to require us to do anything beyond what this policy already describes. If your local law gives you a right not listed here, contact us and we will respond as the law requires.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Hatch It does not track you, so it has nothing to switch off when your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.

8. International use

There are no transfers, because no data leaves your device. The extension is available worldwide.

9. Third-party services

Hatch It itself contacts no third parties. Google Chrome and the Chrome Web Store separately collect their own data (for example install counts and crash statistics) under Google's own privacy policy. We do not control or receive that data.

10. Children

Hatch It is a general productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets that age). We do not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. Because nothing is sent to us, we also cannot identify or contact a child. If a parent or guardian is concerned, the data can be removed at any time with Delete all data in Settings or by uninstalling the extension.

11. Security

Data stays inside Chrome's extension storage sandbox. The extension ships all of its code in the package, runs no remote code, escapes the text you enter before showing it, and validates backup files before importing them. No software is perfectly secure, and the extension does not encrypt data at rest; someone with access to your unlocked computer or Chrome profile could view it.

12. Legal requests

We cannot hand over data we do not have. If we receive a lawful request from a court or authority for information about Hatch It users, we will only be able to say that we hold no such data.

13. Changes

If we ever change what the extension does with data (for example by adding sync or analytics), we will update this policy, the Chrome Web Store listing and the in-app notice first, and ask for your consent where the law requires it. Publishing Hatch It's source code as open source would not change how your data is handled, and this policy would still apply to the version distributed by us. Material changes will not take effect silently. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version, and earlier versions are available on request. If the law changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update it.
