Privacy Policy

Introduction

At MindfulAccess, we believe in transparency and your right to privacy. This policy explains how our Chrome extension handles your data and protects your privacy while helping you browse more mindfully.

Data We Collect

Local Storage Only

All your data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. We store:

• Your restricted websites list and schedule preferences
• Active browsing sessions and time limits
• Your access justifications and usage history
• Extension settings and preferences

AI Analysis

When you provide justifications for website access, only your justification text is sent to a generative AI service (such as Google or ChatGPT) for analysis. This helps Kai provide you with helpful insights about your browsing intentions. No other personal data or browsing history is shared.

Product Analytics

Whenever you click on a button on the MindfulAccess extension for the purpose of improving the product, we collect anonymized usage data through PostHog analytics. This helps us understand which features are most valuable and improve the user experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through these analytics.

What We Don't Collect

• Your browsing history or website content
• Personal information like emails, passwords, or accounts
• Location data or device information
• Any data that could identify you personally

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely to provide MindfulAccess functionality:

• Enforcing website restrictions based on your preferences
• Managing timed browsing sessions
• Providing AI-powered insights on your justifications
• Generating usage reports and analytics for your personal review

Data Security

Since your data is stored locally on your device, you maintain complete control over it. Only justification text is transmitted securely to our AI service for analysis. We implement industry-standard security practices to protect any data transmission.

Third-Party Services

MindfulAccess integrates with:

• AI Services: For analyzing justification text and providing insights (such as Google or ChatGPT)
• Chrome Web Store: For extension updates and installation

These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them to understand how they handle data.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We'll notify you of significant changes through the extension or our website.
