Focusly

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025‑09‑04

Focusly is a browser extension and companion site designed to help you stay focused. It is privacy‑first by design: all data processing happens locally in your browser, and Focusly does not transmit your data to any server.

Data We Process

• Time spent per URL (http/https only), used to generate your local stats
• Preferences such as Focus Mode status, blocked sites, and weekly schedule

Data We Do Not Collect

• No data is transmitted to a remote server
• No personal information or page contents are collected
• No third‑party analytics

Permissions (Extension)

• tabs and host_permissions to attribute time to websites (http/https only)
• storage to save data locally
• declarativeNetRequest to block distracting sites during Focus Mode
• webNavigation to enforce blocking on reload/SPA navigations
• alarms for minute‑level time flush and schedule evaluation
• idle to pause timing when you’re idle or the device is locked

Data Retention and Control

• All data remains on your device until you remove it
• You can clear data by uninstalling the extension (or via future reset in Options)

Children’s Privacy

Focusly is not intended for children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect changes in functionality or legal requirements.
