Privacy Policy for FocusPug
Last Updated: February 15, 2026
Overview
FocusPug ("we," "our," or "the extension") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
Data Collection
FocusPug collects and stores the following data locally on your device only:
- List of websites you choose to block
- Enable/disable status for each blocked website
- Global blocking on/off setting
Important: No other data is collected. We do not collect browsing history, personal information, passwords, or any other sensitive data.
Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API.
No data is transmitted to external servers, third parties, or our developers. Your blocked sites list never leaves your device.
Data Usage
The data collected is used exclusively to:
- Block websites you've added to your block list
- Display your blocked sites in the extension popup and options page
- Maintain your preferences across browser sessions
Permissions Explained
FocusPug requires minimal permissions to function:
- storage: To save your blocked websites list locally on your device
- declarativeNetRequest: To block websites by redirecting them to the blocked page using dynamic rules
Important: FocusPug does NOT require broad "access all websites" permissions. We use Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API with dynamic rules, which allows blocking specific sites you choose without needing access to view or modify data on any websites.
Third-Party Access
We do not share, sell, or transmit your data to any third parties. Your blocked sites list remains completely private and local to your browser.
No analytics, no tracking, no external connections.
Data Deletion
You can delete your data at any time by:
- Removing individual sites from the options page
- Using the "Clear All Sites" button in the options page
- Uninstalling the extension (removes all stored data)
Children's Privacy
FocusPug does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
