Privacy Policy

for Lock In

Effective Date: 5/22/2025

Welcome to Lock In, a Chrome extension developed to help you stay focused, reduce social media distractions, and increase productivity by providing a customized, distraction-free new tab experience.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1Information We Collect

Lock In collects minimal data necessary to provide and improve our services. Specifically, we collect:

  • User Preferences: Customization options such as background choices, time formats, or blocked websites.
  • Usage Data (Non-Personal): Aggregate data on extension usage to improve functionality.
  • Authentication Data (Planned): In the future, if authentication is introduced, we may collect basic authentication details (such as email or profile ID), only with your consent.

We do not collect browsing history, passwords, or any personally identifiable information unless explicitly provided by you for future features.

2How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To apply your personalization settings within the extension.
  • To ensure the extension functions correctly.
  • To improve Lock In's features and performance.
  • (Future) To support login and user account features.

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties.

3Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage system or synced securely with your Google account (if opted in). If authentication is added in the future, any cloud storage will be encrypted and secured using industry-standard practices.

4Third-Party Services

Lock In currently does not integrate with or use third-party services that collect or process user data. If that changes, we will update this policy accordingly and request your consent where required.

5User Control and Data Deletion

You remain in control of your data:

  • You can update or delete your preferences at any time within the extension settings.
  • Upon uninstalling Lock In, all locally stored data is automatically deleted.
  • Once authentication is added, you will be able to delete your account and associated data upon request.

6Children's Privacy

Lock In is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will delete the data promptly.

7Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top and notify users of major changes.
