The Passata browser extension collects nothing. Your timer, your settings and your session counts stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere. The website, passata.hehe.studio, uses one privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics script and nothing else. There are no accounts, no sign-in and no advertising trackers anywhere.
Everything the extension needs lives in your browser's local storage on your own device: the timer's state, your durations and preferences, your daily session count, your usage streak, and flags recording whether you have already seen a prompt. None of this is transmitted, synced to a server, or shared. It is readable only by the extension, on your machine, and the timer works entirely offline.
With focus sound turned off, the extension makes a single network request: it fetches a small configuration file that supplies the one house-promo line shown at the bottom of the new tab. That request only downloads data — it sends no personal information, no identifiers and no usage data, and the extension ships with a bundled copy so it works even when the request fails.
Focus sound is off until you turn it on. When it is on, the extension also downloads the list of available tracks and then the audio itself, from our own servers. Like any download, that reveals your IP address to the server serving the file; we do not log it to build a profile of you, and no information about your sessions, your settings or your usage is sent with it. The “Noise” setting is generated inside your browser and downloads nothing at all. Turning focus sound off stops every audio request immediately. The tracks are public-domain recordings we host ourselves; the player names the one playing and links to its source.
There is no analytics SDK in the extension. Uninstalling Passata removes all of its local data from your browser.
The website at passata.hehe.studio — the landing page and the in-browser web timer — uses DataFast, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. It is cookieless, does not track you across other sites, and records only aggregate, anonymous visit information such as page views and referrer. It does not build a profile of you or collect personal data.
When you follow a share link, the address may carry a plain “?ref” tag naming the surface it came from (for example, the new tab or the popup). It is a fixed label, not an identifier, and contains no personal information. The web timer keeps its own timer state in your browser's local storage, exactly as the extension does.
Passata requests the smallest set of permissions that lets the timer work, and none of them can read your browsing:
Passata asks for no access to your browsing history, your open tabs, or the websites you visit, and requests no host permissions of any kind. Adding focus sound did not add a single permission to this list.
Passata is made by HEHE.studio. If you have a question about this policy or want to reach us, use the feedback form linked from the extension, or find us at hehe.studio.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Because Passata collects no personal data, we do not need a way to notify you individually.
