Privacy Policy - Auto Clock Out for Factorial

Last updated: Aug 2025

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing "Auto Clock Out for Factorial" ("the Extension"). This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information our extension collects, why we collect it, and how we handle your data.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Extension operates with minimal data collection and focuses solely on providing the automated clock-out functionality for Factorial HR platform users.

2. Information We Collect

Our Extension is designed with privacy in mind and collects only the minimum information necessary to function properly:

• User Activity Data: The Extension monitors specific elements on the Factorial website to detect the "Clock Out" button and perform an automatic click when the timer reaches zero. This monitoring is strictly limited to the functionality needed and occurs exclusively within the Factorial domain.
• Website Content: The Extension reads specific DOM elements of the Factorial page to detect remaining time texts in various languages and find the "Clock Out" button to perform the automated action.
• User Preferences: The Extension stores your preferences (such as manual/automatic mode selection) locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API.

We DO NOT collect:

• Personal identification information
• Health information
• Financial or payment data
• Authentication information
• Personal communications
• Location data
• Browsing history outside of Factorial

3. How We Use Information

The information collected is used solely for:

• Providing the core functionality of automatically clicking the "Clock Out" button based on the timer
• Detecting the remaining time from Factorial's interface in automatic mode
• Storing your preferences within the Extension
• Improving the Extension's functionality and accuracy in button detection

All processing happens locally on your device within your browser. No data is transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

4. Data Storage

All user preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data remains on your device and is not synced or transmitted elsewhere. The stored preferences include:

• Your choice between manual and automatic mode
• Timer state information

This data is only accessible by the Extension itself and is not shared with other extensions or applications.

5. Permissions Required

Our Extension requires the following permissions to function properly:

• storage: Required to save your preferences between browser sessions.
• scripting: Required to execute the automatic click functionality when the timer reaches zero.
• activeTab: Required to interact with the Factorial website to read remaining time and locate the Clock Out button.
• tabs: Required to find Factorial tabs using URL patterns and to communicate between background and content scripts.

We also require access to the specific host https://app.factorialhr.com/* as this is the domain where Factorial HR operates and where our Extension needs to work.

6. Third-Party Access

The Extension does not share any data with third parties. All functionality is self-contained within the Extension and operates exclusively in your browser. The only external connection is the optional donation link to BuyMeACoffee, which is only accessed if you explicitly click the donation button.

7. Data Security

We take data security seriously. Our security measures include:

• Limiting functionality to only the Factorial domain
• Processing all data locally on your device
• Not collecting or transmitting any sensitive information
• No use of remote code or external API calls
• Regular code reviews for security issues

8. Children's Privacy

Our Extension is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The Extension is designed for use in workplace environments by employees using the Factorial HR platform.
