The Focus Together Companion extension does not use information accessed from users for targeted advertising or personalized advertising.

12. Data Retention

13. Security

Focus Together takes reasonable measures to limit the extension's access to the information necessary to provide its functionality.

The extension is designed according to the principle of least privilege and limits website access to the Focus Together domains required for timer functionality.

No method of software operation or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but Focus Together seeks to minimize unnecessary collection and transmission of information.

14. Third-Party Services

The Focus Together Companion extension does not transmit timer or session information to third-party advertising, tracking, or analytics services.

The user's browser, operating system, browser extension store, or other services used by the user may independently process information according to their own privacy policies. Focus Together does not control those services.

15. Children's Privacy

The Focus Together Companion extension is a general productivity and study tool and is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children.

Because the extension does not collect personal information through its timer functionality, Focus Together does not knowingly maintain personal information from children through the extension.

16. User Choices

Users may:

  • Disable desktop notifications
  • Disable completion chimes
  • Adjust chime volume
  • Remove the Focus Together Companion extension at any time
