Privacy Policy

Effective: November 15, 2024

This Privacy Policy outlines how Focal operates and handles information through our browser extension. Our extension is designed with privacy in mind, operating primarily on your local device to help you maintain focus while browsing by analyzing webpage content against your stated browsing intentions.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this policy and may provide additional notice by posting a notice on our website.

Information Collection

Local Storage

The only information we store is your stated browsing intention, which is temporarily saved in your browser's local storage for the duration of your browsing session. This information is automatically cleared when you close your browser or end your session.

API Usage

Our extension makes calls to the Anthropic API to analyze webpage content against your stated intention. The content of web pages you visit is temporarily processed through this API for analysis purposes only. We do not store this information, and it is not retained after the analysis is complete.

The temporary information we process is used solely to:
