Privacy Policy 🔒

Distraction Blocker — Focus Timer

We don’t collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Local‑only

Overview ✨

This Chrome extension helps you limit time on distracting websites with per‑site daily limits, a floating button, and a friendly time‑up reminder — while keeping your data on your device.

Data We Collect 📦

We do not collect any personal information. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, and no data leaves your device.

Local Processing 💾

The extension stores the following locally using chrome.storage.local:

  • Blocked sites list and per‑site daily time limits
  • Per‑site daily usage totals (in minutes)
  • Temporary blocks (e.g., short break after reminder)
  • General settings (e.g., reminder block duration)

Permissions Use 🛡️

  • storage: Save your settings and daily usage locally.
  • tabs: Determine the current tab’s hostname and redirect to the local blocked page when needed.
  • alarms: Run a periodic heartbeat to accrue time and trigger reminders.
  • declarativeNetRequest: Apply temporary, user‑initiated blocking/redirect to blocked.html during breaks.
  • scripting: Inject the in‑page time‑up modal and small DOM cleanups (all code is bundled).
  • notifications: Optional local notification when a work session ends.
  • host permissions (<all_urls>): Enable limits/UI to function on sites you choose; the extension uses the hostname only.

Data Sharing 🚫

No data is shared with third parties. No external servers are contacted for data storage or analytics.

Security 🔐

  • No remote code execution. All scripts are packaged with the extension.
  • Extension pages follow Chrome MV3 CSP (script-src 'self').

Your Controls 🧰

  • Adjust or remove limits anytime via the sidebar or Options page.
  • Start Fresh in Options permanently deletes all local data.

Children’s Privacy 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This extension is a general productivity tool and does not target children. No personal data is collected.

We may update this policy to reflect improvements or changes to the extension. Updates will be published with the extension.
