Privacy Policy
How FocusWarden protects your privacy and data
🔒 Our Privacy Commitment
At FocusWarden, we believe your privacy is fundamental. This extension is designed with a zero-data collection approach, meaning we collect, store, or transmit absolutely no information about your browsing activity, personal data, or online behavior.
🛡️ Key Privacy Principles
- No Data Collection: We collect zero user data
- Local Storage Only: All data stays on your device
- No External Transmission: Nothing is sent to our servers
- No Tracking: We don't monitor your online activity
- User Control: You have complete control over your data
📱 What Data We DON'T Collect
- Browsing History: We don't track which websites you visit
- Personal Information: No names, emails, or identifying data
- Usage Patterns: No analytics or behavior tracking
- Content Data: No access to page content or form data
- Network Information: No monitoring of network requests beyond blocking
💾 What Data We Store Locally
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API:
- Blocked Website List: Domains you choose to block
- Schedule Settings: Your time-based blocking preferences
- Extension Preferences: UI settings and quick block options
- Extension State: Whether blocking is enabled/disabled
This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties.
🌐 How the Extension Works
FocusWarden operates entirely on your device:
- Local Processing: All blocking logic runs on your computer
- No External APIs: We don't call external services
- Chrome APIs Only: Uses only Chrome's built-in extension APIs
- No Code Injection: No external scripts or code execution
🔐 Data Security
Your data is protected by:
- Chrome Security: Extension runs in Chrome's secure sandbox
- Local Storage: Data never transmitted over the internet
- User Control: You can clear all data anytime
- No Backdoors: No hidden data collection mechanisms
📅 Future Privacy Commitment
We have no plans to collect user data now or in the future. FocusWarden is designed as a privacy-first productivity tool. Our business model is based on providing value through website blocking functionality, not through data collection or monetization.
