Privacy policy

Information Focus handles

To provide its features, Focus reads tab URLs and titles in the current Chrome profile. It processes tab details locally to show the open-tab count, check each site against your protected-sites list, and close tabs when you choose Focus now. Focus saves eligible web links (HTTP and HTTPS URLs), page titles, and save times so you can reopen, restore, copy, or export them later. It also stores the protected-site domains and preferences you choose, such as the saved-link retention period.

Where information is stored

Focus stores this information in Chrome’s local extension storage for the current Chrome profile. It is not synchronized by Focus to another profile or device.

How information is used and shared

Tab information and preferences are used only to provide Focus features. Focus does not transmit this information to the developer or to any server, and does not sell or share it with third parties. Focus does not use it for advertising or analytics.

When you choose Copy links or Export CSV, Focus copies or downloads only the links you selected. This action is initiated by you.

Retention and deletion

You choose how long Focus keeps saved links. Depending on your setting, they are automatically deleted after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, or 90 days, or kept until you delete them. You can clear saved links at any time from the Focus popup. Removing Focus from Chrome also removes its locally stored extension data according to Chrome’s extension data handling.

Permissions

Focus requests access to tabs so it can count, save, close, and reopen tabs; local storage to keep your settings and saved links; alarms to perform scheduled retention cleanup; and clipboard writing so you can copy selected links.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use
