🔒 Your Privacy Matters

Privacy Policy

FocusFlow is built with privacy at its core. We don't collect, store, or share any of your personal data — ever.

📅 Last updated: March 2026
✅

Short Version — We collect nothing.

FocusFlow works entirely on your device. Your focus sessions, streaks, settings, and blocked sites never leave your browser. No accounts, no servers, no tracking — just pure productivity.

What Data We Collect

FocusFlow collects zero personal data. The extension stores the following information locally on your device only:

Timer settings — your preferred session duration (15m, 25m, 50m, or custom)
Focus stats — today's session count and minutes focused
Streak data — your current streak and last active day
Weekly data — focus minutes per day for the last 14 days only
Blocked sites list — the domains you choose to block
Preferences — theme (dark/light), sound on/off, session goal

All of this is stored using chrome.storage.local — it lives only on your device and is only accessible by you.

Permissions We Use

FocusFlow requests the following Chrome permissions, and here is exactly why:

storage — To save your timer settings and stats locally on your device only
alarms — To trigger session complete and break end notifications accurately
notifications — To show you a desktop alert when your focus session ends
declarativeNetRequest — To block distraction sites during focus sessions only. We never read your browsing history
tabs — Only used to redirect blocked site attempts to our blocked.html page
4

Site Blocking — How It Works

When you start a focus session, FocusFlow uses Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API to block the sites you have chosen. Here's what this means for your privacy:

Blocking rules are set directly in Chrome — we do not read or log your browsing activity
We only know which sites you chose to add to your blocklist — nothing else
Blocking is automatically disabled when your session ends or you reset the timer
Your blocklist is stored locally and never transmitted anywhere
5

Data Storage & Deletion

All data is stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage. You are in full control:

To clear all FocusFlow data: Go to chrome://extensions → FocusFlow → click "Clear Storage", or simply uninstall the extension
Weekly data auto-prunes: Stats older than 14 days are automatically deleted from your device
Uninstalling: Removing the extension permanently deletes all stored data from your device
6

Children's Privacy

FocusFlow does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no data whatsoever, there is no special concern for younger users. The extension is safe for use by students of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We will also note any significant changes in the extension's Chrome Web Store update notes.

Since we collect no data, any future updates are likely to only make this policy more permissive, not less.
