ActualFocus Chrome Extension Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the ActualFocus Chrome Extension published by ImpactLoop Ltd., trading as ArdSaor. The extension is a companion to the ActualFocus macOS app and is not intended to be useful on its own.

2. What the extension does

The extension detects the currently active HTTP or HTTPS page in Google Chrome and sends that page information to the locally running ActualFocus macOS app on the same computer. ActualFocus uses that information to identify the active domain and improve local focus tracking.

3. What the extension reads

Using Chrome’s tabs API, the extension reads the following from the currently active tab in the focused Google Chrome window when that tab is a normal HTTP or HTTPS page:

• The active page URL
• The page title
• The URL scheme, such as http or https
• The domain derived from the active page URL

The extension does not operate on Chrome internal pages such as chrome:// pages or extension pages.

4. How data is transmitted

The extension sends browser activity only to the locally running ActualFocus macOS app using a loopback connection on the same machine, such as 127.0.0.1 or localhost. The extension does not send browsing data directly to ArdSaor servers.

The extension requests host access only for local loopback addresses used to reach the ActualFocus app. It does not request broad website host permissions.

5. What the ActualFocus app stores locally

According to the current app behavior, ActualFocus may store the following locally on your Mac while a session is running:

• Browser name
• Domain
• URL scheme
• Page title

Full page URLs are used transiently for local browser-to-app delivery and are not intended to be stored as a browsing-history log or sent off-device by default.

6. What is not collected by the extension

The extension does not intentionally collect or send the following to ArdSaor servers:

• Passwords
• Form inputs
• Cookies
• Payment card information
• Message contents
• Keystrokes
• Raw page body text or full page content beyond the active page URL and title

7. Remote code and third parties

The extension does not use remote hosted code. Its executable JavaScript is bundled with the extension package. We do not sell browsing data, and we do not transfer user data to third parties for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose.

8. Off-device telemetry

The extension itself is not designed to upload raw browsing activity to ArdSaor servers. If the companion ActualFocus macOS app offers optional telemetry, that telemetry is intended to be limited to coarse product-health events rather than raw URLs, page titles, or detailed browsing-history logs.

9. Retention and user control

You can stop further browser data collection at any time by disabling or uninstalling the extension in Google Chrome, or by closing or uninstalling the ActualFocus app. Data already stored locally by the app remains under your control on your Mac unless you choose to export it.

10. Security

We aim to keep data handling narrow and local. Browser data is transmitted over the local loopback interface to the app on the same computer. We recommend keeping your Mac account protected with standard operating-system security controls.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this page if the extension’s permissions, behavior, or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
