Privacy Policy

SocialFocus helps users stay focused by managing access to distracting websites and enabling modifications to web pages to reduce distractions. We are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring that all processes occur securely within the extension itself.

Permissions Required

To provide its functionality, SocialFocus requires the following permissions:

  • Access to website source code via the activeTab permission.
  • Access to specific domains to manage time limits and modify web pages, including:
  • youtube.com
  • facebook.com
  • linkedin.com
  • twitter.com / x.com
  • reddit.com
  • instagram.com
  • google.com
  • twitch.tv
  • news.ycombinator.com

These permissions are strictly used to apply the extension’s features locally on your device.

Data Collection

SocialFocus does not collect, transmit, or store personal data externally.

The extension processes the following information locally on the user’s device:

  • Time Tracking (Optional):
    If enabled, the extension tracks time spent on selected websites based on user-defined limits. This data is stored and processed locally only.
  • Browser Information:
    Language settings and device type are used solely to improve usability.
  • User Settings:
    All preferences, limits, and configuration options are stored locally on the user’s device.

User Control

Users have full control over all extension settings, including optional time tracking, website permissions, and language preferences.

Detectability by Websites

SocialFocus modifies web pages by injecting CSS and JavaScript via the browser’s extension system. While designed to operate seamlessly, some websites may detect these modifications.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as needed. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
