The SixMinutes browser extension is a companion to the SixMinutes desktop application for automated legal time tracking. This policy explains what data the extension collects and how it is used.
The extension collects the following data from your active browser tab:
- Page URL — the web address of the current page
- Page title — the document title
- Page headings — h1 through h3 elements (up to 10)
- Meta description — the page's meta description tag
- Body text — visible text content (up to 3,000 characters)
All collected data is sent exclusively to the SixMinutes application running on your local machine (localhost, ports 8000–8004). The data is used to:
- Match your browsing activity to legal matters/cases for time tracking
- Generate accurate billing narratives
- Data is stored locally in the SixMinutes SQLite database on your device
- No data is transmitted to any external server, cloud service, or third party
- The extension stores only the backend connection port and your capture preference in Chrome's local storage
The extension does not collect:
- Passwords, form inputs, or authentication credentials
- Financial or payment information
- Personal communications (emails, messages)
- Cookies or browsing history beyond the active tab
- Keystrokes, mouse movements, or clicks
- Data from incognito/private browsing tabs
- Data from banking and financial websites (these are explicitly excluded)
No data collected by this extension is sold, transferred, or shared with any third party. All data remains on your local device.
