Privacy Policy for FocusOne

Last updated: September 2026

FocusOne (“we”, “our”, or “the extension”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our browser extension handles user information.

1. Zero Data Collection

FocusOne operates under a strict Zero Surveillance principle. We do not collect, log, track, sell, or transmit any personally identifiable information, browsing history, website activity, or user data to external servers or third parties.

2. Local On-Device Storage

All extension settings—including custom blocklists, YouTube allowlists, scheduling preferences, and focus metrics—are stored 100% locally on your device via standard browser storage APIs (chrome.storage.local). This information never leaves your personal browser.

3. Permissions Usage

• declarativeNetRequest / declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: Used strictly on-device to intercept and block network requests to user-selected distracting websites and apply channel-filtering rules.
• tabs / activeTab: Used solely to detect the active tab’s URL to determine if it matches your local blocklist and redirect to your local block screen when necessary.
• alarms: Used to trigger local countdown timers for scheduled focus sessions.
• storage / unlimitedStorage: Used exclusively to store your personal configuration, rules, and focus history on your local computer.
• notifications: Used solely to display local browser alerts when a focus session starts or ends.

4. Third-Party Services

FocusOne does not integrate third-party tracking scripts, analytics libraries, or advertising networks.
