Focotivity Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
Focotivity is a Chrome extension that helps you understand website and browser activity in the Chrome profile where it is installed, reduce distractions, and run focus sessions.
Information Focotivity processes
To provide its features, Focotivity processes information about the websites you visit while using Chrome in the profile where the extension is installed, including:
Website domain names (for example, youtube.com)
How long you actively spend on those websites in that Chrome profile
Focus session and break activity
Settings you configure, such as Study Mode sites, website limits, timer preferences, and notification preferences
Focotivity uses a content script only to learn whether the active page is visible, so time spent in background or hidden tabs is not counted as active usage.
Focotivity does not track total computer usage. The current version does not track desktop applications outside Chrome (for example Discord, Unity, or Cursor), and it does not track other Chrome profiles where Focotivity is not installed.
How this information is used
Focotivity uses this information to:
Calculate browser-time and website-usage analytics for this Chrome profile
Power productivity features such as Study Mode and the focus timer
Enforce website time limits
Block distracting websites when Study Mode or a blocking limit is active
Show local reminders and notifications related to focus sessions, breaks, and limits
Storage and transmission
Current browsing and productivity data is stored locally on your device using Chrome extension storage (chrome.storage.local).
Focotivity does not currently send your browsing history or browser-time data to a Focotivity server.
Focotivity does not sell browsing data.
Focotivity does not use browsing activity for advertising.
Your controls
You can delete or reset Focotivity data from the extension Settings page, including:
Resetting today’s statistics
Resetting all browser-time history
Resetting settings to defaults
Uninstalling the extension also removes its locally stored extension data according to Chrome’s normal extension uninstall behavior.
Permissions
Focotivity requests Chrome permissions needed for website and browser activity tracking in this profile, website blocking, timers, notifications, and local storage. It does not request permissions for advertising identity or unrelated cloud account access.
Future changes
If a future version of Focotivity changes how data is collected, stored, or transmitted, this privacy policy will be updated and appropriate disclosure will be provided to users.
Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
Focotivity’s use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
