Last updated: November 15, 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: Email address, password (hashed), and authentication credentials.
  • User Content: Tasks, habits, projects, Pomodoro sessions, and productivity data you create.
  • Blocking Configuration: Websites and domains you choose to block, along with scheduling preferences.
  • Usage Data: Basic usage statistics related to your productivity features (e.g., completed tasks, habit streaks).

2. Monk Mode Extension Privacy

Your browsing privacy is our top priority. The Monk Mode extension operates with strict privacy principles:

  • No Website Tracking: The extension does NOT log, track, or monitor the websites you visit. We do not collect your browsing history or track your web activity.
  • Blocking Data Only: The extension only fetches your configured blocking rules (the websites you have chosen to block) from our API to enforce blocking locally in your browser.
  • Local Processing: Website blocking happens entirely on your device. The extension checks URLs against your blocking list locally and does not send visited URLs to our servers.
  • No Telemetry: The extension does not send any telemetry data, analytics, or tracking information to third parties or our servers.
  • Only Blocked Sites: We only store the websites you explicitly configure to block. We do not store or have access to any other websites you visit.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain our productivity services.
  • Enable the extension to fetch and apply your blocking rules.
  • Process your subscription and billing.
  • Send you important service-related communications.
  • Improve our services and user experience.
  • Respond to your support requests.

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS protocols.
  • Passwords are hashed using secure hashing algorithms and never stored in plain text.
  • We use secure databases and follow best practices for data protection.
  • Access to your data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our service (e.g., payment processors, hosting providers), subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government regulation.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users.

We never share your browsing history or visited websites with anyone, as we do not collect this information.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access, update, or delete your personal information through your account settings.
  • Request a copy of your data or request data deletion.
  • Opt out of non-essential communications (service-related emails cannot be opted out of).
  • Uninstall the extension at any time, which will stop all data fetching.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use essential cookies and session management to maintain your login state and provide core functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics that track your browsing behavior across websites. The extension does not use cookies or any tracking technologies.
