Privacy Policy

Relax the Kax is a Chrome extension that replaces your new tab page with a single focused dashboard: a daily background photo, the Jira tickets assigned to you, and your Google Calendar events for the day. This policy explains exactly what data the extension touches, where it goes, and what it never does.

Who we are

Relax the Kax is a free, open-source extension maintained by Milos Lekovic. For any privacy question you can reach us at milos085sbb@gmail.com, or open an issue on GitHub.

Data the extension handles

To work, the extension processes the following information that you provide or authorize. All of it is handled locally in your browser.

• Jira credentials. Your Jira domain, your Jira account email, and a Jira API token that you create. These are needed to fetch the tickets assigned to you.
• Jira ticket data. The tickets returned for your account (key, summary, status, assignee, priority, issue type) so they can be displayed on the page.
• Google account authorization. An OAuth access token obtained through Chrome's Identity API, limited to read-only access to your Google Calendar.
• Google Calendar data. Your events for the current day (title, time, location, and any video-call link) so today's schedule can be displayed.
• Preferences. An optional display name, the ticket statuses you choose to show, and a short cache of background image URLs.

Where your data is stored

Your preferences and Jira credentials are saved using Chrome's storage API so they persist across sessions and, if you are signed into Chrome, sync to your own Chrome profile. Before being stored, your Jira email and Jira API token are encrypted with AES-GCM using a key derived from a random, per-profile salt (Web Crypto API). The Google authorization token is managed by Chrome's own Identity service and is not written to extension storage.

We, the developer, never receive a copy of any of this data. There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, and no developer-operated server involved at any point.

Who your data is shared with

The extension communicates directly from your browser with only these third parties, each strictly to deliver a feature you asked for:

• Atlassian / Jira (*.atlassian.net, *.atlassian.com, *.jira.com) — your Jira credentials are sent to your own Jira instance to authenticate and retrieve your tickets.
• Google (www.googleapis.com) — your authorization token is sent to the Google Calendar API to retrieve your events.
• Lorem Picsum (picsum.photos) — used only to download a random background image. No personal data is sent.

We do not sell or transfer your data to any other party, and we do not use it for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or any purpose unrelated to the extension's single purpose.

Google user data & Limited Use

Relax the Kax's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, Google Calendar data is used only to display your events on the new tab page within your browser; it is never transmitted to us, used for advertising, or shared with third parties.

Removing your data

You stay in control of everything the extension stores:

• Clear your Jira credentials and preferences from the extension's Settings panel.
• Disconnect Google Calendar at any time; this removes the cached authorization token.
• Revoke the extension's Google access entirely at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• Uninstalling the extension removes all of its locally stored data.

Children's privacy

Relax the Kax is a workplace productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, for material changes, note it in the extension's listing. Continued use of the extension after an update means you accept the revised policy.
