Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Meeting Cost Calculator is a Chrome extension that shows the real cost of meetings on Google Calendar.
The short version: We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. Everything happens locally in your browser.
What Data We Access
Meeting Cost Calculator accesses the following data solely within your browser:
- Your rate settings: The hourly rate and currency you configure are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage API (
chrome.storage.local). They never leave your browser.
- Google Calendar event details: When you click on a calendar event, the extension reads the visible event information (title, time, attendees) from the page to calculate the meeting cost. This data is processed locally and is not stored or transmitted.
What Data We Collect
None. Meeting Cost Calculator does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. Specifically:
- No analytics or tracking scripts
- No cookies
- No user accounts or sign-ups
- No network requests to external servers
- No browsing history collection
- No personally identifiable information (PII) is ever transmitted
- No calendar data is stored beyond the current session
Where Data Is Stored
Your rate settings (hourly rate, default attendee rate, currency preference) are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage via chrome.storage.local. This data:
- Stays on your device
- Is only accessible to the Meeting Cost Calculator extension
- Can be deleted at any time by clearing the extension's data or uninstalling it
- Is not synced across devices
Third-Party Services
Meeting Cost Calculator does not use any third-party services, APIs, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.
Permissions Explained
- storage: Used to save your hourly rate and currency preferences locally.
