Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 11, 2025

Summary

Asana Essentials runs entirely in your browser. It does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. There are no external servers, no analytics, and no third-party scripts.

What data does this extension access?

Asana Essentials reads the following from your Asana project via Asana's own API (using your existing browser session):

Team member names and IDs — to build the speaker queue
Task names and IDs — to highlight the current speaker's tasks on the board/list view
Project membership — to determine who is assigned to the current project

The extension does not ask for or store any login credentials. It piggybacks on your existing authenticated Asana session — if you're not logged in to Asana, the extension does nothing.

What data is stored locally?

The extension uses chrome.storage.local (or the equivalent browser storage API) to persist the following on your device:

Data	Purpose	Retention
Settings (timer duration, sound, confetti, shuffle, task filter)	Remember your preferences across sessions	Until you change them or uninstall
Standup history (up to 30 records)	Show past session stats (speaker names, durations, skips)	Rolling — oldest removed at limit
Timer duration (legacy key)	Backward compatibility with earlier versions	Until overwritten by settings

All stored data is local to your browser profile. It is never synced to the cloud, never transmitted externally, and is fully removed when you uninstall the extension.

What is NOT stored

Asana credentials or tokens
Full task content or descriptions
Personal information beyond display names shown in the speaker queue
Browsing history or page URLs

What data is transmitted?

None to external servers. This extension does not send any data to servers operated by the developer or any third party. Specifically:

No analytics or telemetry
No crash reporting
No advertising or tracking pixels
No third-party SDKs or scripts

The only network requests made by the extension are to app.asana.com — the same domain you're already on — to fetch project member and task data using your authenticated session.

Permissions explained

Permission	Why it's needed
`storage`	Persist settings and standup history locally in your browser
`host_permissions: app.asana.com`	Inject the standup widget into Asana's UI and fetch project data from Asana's API

The extension requests no other permissions — no access to other websites, no clipboard, no camera/microphone, no downloads, and no background network access.

Data deletion

You can clear all extension data at any time by:

Using the "Clear History" button in the extension popup
Uninstalling the extension (removes all stored data)
Clearing browser storage for the extension via your browser's settings

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is updated, the "Last updated" date at the top will change. Significant changes will be noted in the extension's changelog.
