No data is sent to external servers. Your timers and preferences are stored securely in your browser's sync storage. --- **Category:** Productivity / Workflow **Language:** English / Spanish --- ### Permission Justifications (Privacy Practices Tab) **Permission:** `notifications` **Justification (English):** The 'notifications' permission is used to provide real-time native desktop alerts when a countdown timer reaches zero. This ensures the user is immediately informed of the task's completion, even if the browser window is minimized or they are working in another application. **Justification (Español):** El permiso de 'notifications' se utiliza para proporcionar alertas nativas de escritorio en tiempo real cuando un temporizador llega a cero. Esto asegura que el usuario sea informado inmediatamente de la finalización de su tarea, incluso si la ventana del navegador está minimizada o si está trabajando en otra aplicación. [LLC]
