Calendar information
The extension reads the loaded Tekmetric appointment calendar on shop.tekmetric.com to calculate daily capacity. This includes appointment titles (which may contain customer or vehicle information), dates, times, colors, cancellation labels, and employee-column placement. It reads the current calendar URL to identify the selected date and view. This processing happens locally in your browser. Appointment information is not uploaded to NextGen, Firebase, advertising services, or other third parties. The extension does not change appointments or access your Tekmetric password.
Saved settings
Company connection details, downloaded company limits and colors, and update status are saved in Chrome extension storage. The display preference and widget positions are saved in the Tekmetric site's browser storage. These preferences are local to that browser profile. Appointment titles and calendar entries are held in memory for calculation; they are not saved by the extension.
Network requests and the admin website
The extension downloads a public company settings document from Google Cloud Firestore over HTTPS, normally every five minutes. It sends no calendar payload, user account identifier, or appointment information in this request. Google receives ordinary network metadata, such as IP address, request time, and the requested settings URL, to provide the service.
The separate admin website uses Firebase Authentication to sign in authorized administrators and Cloud Firestore to publish company settings. Administrator email addresses and authentication records are handled by Firebase. Published company capacity limits and color mappings are readable by extension users; do not put customer information or secrets in these settings. Staff do not need an admin account. Google may process service logs and security records under its own policies.
Use and sharing
Information is used only to provide calendar capacity calculations, save preferences, and deliver company settings. The extension includes no advertising, analytics trackers, sale of personal information, or remote executable code. Data is not used for credit decisions, lending, or unrelated advertising. Use of data is limited to the extension's stated purpose and complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Retention and control
In-memory calendar information is released when the page is closed. Cached settings persist until replaced or removed. Uninstalling the extension removes its extension storage; clearing Tekmetric site data removes locally saved display and position preferences, but can also sign you out of Tekmetric. Published company settings remain until changed or removed by an authorized administrator. For questions or requests to remove an admin account or company data, contact andres@nextgencarcare.com.
Changes
This page will be updated if the extension's data practices change. Material new access will be disclosed through the extension or its store listing as appropriate.
