FocusFence: Website Blocker for Study is a Chrome extension that helps users reduce distracting browsing. Users configure websites they want to limit, join or create study rooms, upload study material, and complete short quizzes before access to a blocked site is restored.

The extension uses browsing time on configured domains to decide when to show a quiz block. It does not collect the contents of pages you visit on tracked websites.

Account information: your email address, password hash when you create an email/password account, optional Google sign-in identifier, chosen display username, and authentication tokens needed to keep you signed in.

Extension settings: onboarding state, tracked domains, configured time limits, active room, and local time-tracking state.

Study content: documents you upload to study rooms, such as PDF, TXT, or Markdown files, and quiz questions generated from that material.

Activity and progress: time spent on user-configured tracked domains, quiz attempts, quiz completion counts, leaderboard scores, wrong-answer review history, room activity, and related progress data.

Website information: FocusFence uses the domain of the active tab to determine whether the site is one you configured for tracking. FocusFence does not collect full browsing history or page contents from tracked browsing sites.

We use the information above only to provide FocusFence's core features: authenticating users, syncing rooms and settings, tracking time on configured distracting sites, uploading and processing study material, generating quizzes, displaying quiz blocks, recording quiz results, supporting leaderboards, and helping users review missed questions.

We do not sell user data. We do not use user data for unrelated advertising, credit decisions, eligibility decisions, or any purpose outside the FocusFence product experience.

FocusFence uses Chrome permissions to provide its stated functionality. The tabs permission is used to identify the active tab's domain and communicate with tracked tabs. Storage keeps settings, authentication state, and local tracking state available between sessions. Alarms run a lightweight timer while the popup or side panel is closed.

The sidePanel permission provides the main FocusFence interface. The identity permission starts Google OAuth sign-in. The scripting permission is used to register the bundled content script on custom tracked domains after you grant optional site access. Host access is used for the production FocusFence API, and optional host access is requested only when you add a custom tracked website.

FocusFence may send account, room, upload, quiz, settings, and progress data to the FocusFence backend so the extension can work across browser sessions and devices.

Uploaded study material may be processed by AI-backed quiz generation services to create quiz questions for your study rooms. Remote responses are treated as data, not executable code.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share user data with third parties for unrelated advertising.

FocusFence does not execute remote code. All executable extension code is bundled in the submitted extension package. The extension communicates with the FocusFence API and receives remote data such as account details, room data, quiz questions, and progress updates.

Some information is stored locally in Chrome storage, including extension settings, authentication state, onboarding state, tracked domains, and local time-tracking data.

Server-side information is used to sync your FocusFence account, rooms, documents, quizzes, progress, and settings. We use reasonable technical safeguards for the data handled by the service, but no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security.

You can change tracked websites, time limits, room settings, and other extension settings inside FocusFence.

You can remove the extension from Chrome to stop extension-based tracking and local storage updates. You may also contact us to request help with account or data deletion.

FocusFence is intended for general productivity and study use. It is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this privacy policy as FocusFence changes. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page.
