Don't Be Late

Privacy Policy for Don’t Be Late

Effective date: October 25, 2026

Don’t Be Late (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension that opens your Google Calendar meetings in a browser tab shortly before they start. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it uses that data, and what it does not do.

Summary

• The extension reads your Google Calendar events only to find upcoming meetings and open them.
• All data stays in your browser. It is sent only to Google, never to the developer or any other party.
• There is no server, analytics, advertising or tracking.

Data the extension accesses

When you connect a Google account, you grant the extension the following access through Google’s OAuth consent screen:

Google permission	What the extension uses it for
See the events on Google calendars you own (calendar.events.owned.readonly)	Reading upcoming events on your primary calendar: start time, title, status, your response, and video meeting links (Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams)
See your primary email address (email, openid)	Telling connected accounts apart, and opening Google Meet with the matching account

The extension can’t create, change or delete calendar events, and it doesn’t access any other Google data.

The extension also asks Chrome for permission to see the addresses of open meet.google.com tabs. It uses this only to bring a meeting’s tab to the front if that meeting is already open. It doesn’t read or change the content of those pages.

How data is used and stored

• Calendar events: fetched from the Google Calendar API every few minutes, for the next few hours only. The extension keeps a list of upcoming meetings (title, start time and join link) in Chrome’s local extension storage on your computer, and uses it to schedule opening each meeting.
• Account information: your Google account ID and email address are stored in local extension storage, so the extension remembers which accounts you connected.
• Access tokens: the short-lived OAuth access tokens issued by Google are kept in Chrome’s in-memory session storage only, and are discarded when the browser closes.
• Settings: your lead time and pause settings are stored in local extension storage.

The extension sends data only to Google, as part of signing in and making Google Calendar API requests. The developer doesn’t operate any server and doesn’t receive any of your data.

Sharing

The extension doesn’t sell, share or transfer your data to anyone. It doesn’t use your data for advertising, creditworthiness or lending decisions, or any purpose other than opening your meetings. Nobody, including the developer, reads your data.

Limited Use

Don’t Be Late’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Removing your data

• Disconnect an account: click Remove next to the account on the extension’s settings page. This deletes the account’s stored data and revokes the extension’s access.
• Revoke access through Google: go to your Google Account’s third-party connections.
• Uninstall the extension: Chrome then deletes all data the extension stored.

Changes to this policy

Changes to this policy will be published in this document, with an updated effective date. Its history is available in the project’s Git repository.
