Summary

Pause to Focus is published by DittoCode. The extension does not collect, upload, sell, or share browsing data and contains no advertising, remote analytics, or telemetry.

Data processed locally by the extension

Pause to Focus processes the current page URL locally in your browser to determine whether it matches a blocking rule. It does not send that URL to DittoCode or another server.

The extension may store the following information in the current browser:

• Website rules, labels, built-in reason identifiers, and reasons written by the user;
• Interface language preference;
• Reasons and start/end times for temporary access and global pauses;
• The target URL while temporary access is active;
• Daily and per-site aggregate counts for blocks and unlocks, granted durations, and foreground-visible usage time;
• The most recent blocked navigation URL for each tab so the blocking page can restore it. This temporary record is removed after approximately 10 minutes.

User-written reasons may contain sensitive information. They remain local unless the user independently chooses to include them in a support email.

Data retention and control

Statistics are kept locally in the browser indefinitely by default. Users can choose another retention period, export local data as JSON or CSV, or clear statistics from Settings.

Uninstalling the extension normally removes extension storage according to Chrome's behavior. Data exported by the user is controlled by the user after export.

Data migration

During an upgrade, legacy rules may be merged, deduplicated, and converted locally. Recognized built-in reasons may be converted to stable identifiers so they can be displayed in the selected language. User-written text is preserved. Migration data is not uploaded.
