UPtool Privacy Policy
Privacy-First Design: UPtool is designed with your
privacy as the top priority. We collect zero personal data and
everything stays on your device.
Data Collection
UPtool
does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
The extension operates entirely on your local device using Chrome's
built-in storage API. We have no servers, no analytics, and no tracking
mechanisms.
What Data Stays Local
-
Todo Items: Your tasks, priorities, and due dates are
stored only on your device
-
Blocked Websites: Your list of blocked sites remains
private and local
-
Settings & Preferences: All configuration data stays
on your device
Data Usage
The only data UPtool works with is the information you choose to enter
(your todos and blocked websites). This data is:
- Stored locally using Chrome's storage API
- Never transmitted to external servers
- Never shared with third parties
- Never used for advertising or analytics
Website Blocking
When you add websites to your block list, UPtool only:
- Checks if the current website matches your block list
- Redirects you to a focus reminder page if it's blocked
- Does not monitor, record, or transmit your browsing activity
Data Security
Since all data remains on your device:
-
There's no risk of data breaches from our servers (we don't have any)
- Your data is as secure as your Chrome browser
- You have complete control over your data
Data Deletion
You can delete all UPtool data at any time by:
- Using the "Reset All Todos" button in the extension
-
Removing the extension from Chrome (this deletes all associated data)
- Clearing Chrome's extension data through browser settings
Third-Party Services
UPtool does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics
platforms, or external APIs. The extension is completely self-contained.
Changes to This Policy
If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we will update the
version number of the extension and the date below. However, our
commitment to not collecting user data will remain unchanged.
