FocusTab – Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2025

Overview

FocusTab is a Chrome extension that helps users focus by temporarily hiding distracting browser tabs. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data FocusTab accesses and how it is used.

Data We Collect

FocusTab does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. The extension operates entirely on your local device.

Data Stored Locally

FocusTab uses Chrome's chrome.storage.local API to temporarily store the following information on your device only:

• URLs of tabs you choose to hide
• Titles of those tabs

This data is stored solely to allow you to restore your tabs later. It is never sent to any server, third party, or external service.

Permissions Used

• tabs – To read the list of open tabs, close selected tabs when entering Focus Mode, and reopen them when Focus Mode ends.
• storage – To save hidden tab information locally on your device so it persists across popup sessions.

Third-Party Services

FocusTab does not use any analytics, advertising, or third-party services. No data leaves your browser.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised date.
