Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

Focus Matrix is a browser extension that turns your new tab into an Eisenhower Matrix with a built-in Pomodoro timer. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how.

The short version

• By default, all your data stays on your own device.
• Cross-device sync is optional and off until you turn it on.
• We never sell your data, show ads, or track your browsing.
• Your tasks are private — they are stored under an anonymous account ID and no other user can read them.

Data stored on your device

The extension stores your tasks, projects, settings, and productivity history locally in your browser's storage. This never leaves your device unless you choose to enable sync.

Optional cross-device sync

If you turn on Sync across devices in Settings, the extension signs you in with your Google account and stores a copy of your tasks, projects, and settings in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), so they stay in sync across the browsers where you are signed in.

• What we store: your tasks, projects, and app settings, saved under your private account identifier. Your productivity history (statistics) is not uploaded — it stays on your device.
• Sign-in: we use your Google account only to identify which data belongs to you across your devices. Your email address is used solely as this identifier and is never attached to your task content.
• Access: security rules ensure that only your own signed-in account can read or write your data. No other user can access it.
• Where: data is held on Google Firebase infrastructure, which is GDPR-compliant.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell or rent your data to anyone.
• We do not use advertising or third-party trackers.
• We do not monitor the websites you visit or your browsing activity.

Deleting your data

You are in control of your data at any time:

• Cloud data: open Settings → Sync across devices → Delete cloud data & account. This permanently removes your synced data and your account from the cloud.
• Local data: use Settings → Data to export, clear completed tasks, or clear your statistics. Uninstalling the extension also removes all local data.

Children's privacy

Focus Matrix is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Material changes will be reflected in the extension's listing.
