SiteHush Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 17, 2026

SiteHush ("the extension") is a website blocker and focus timer for Google Chrome. This policy explains what data it handles. Short version: your data stays in your browser. We do not collect, sell or share your browsing data, and there are no analytics or trackers.

Data stored on your device

• Settings - your blocked sites, allowlist, schedules and a SHA-256 hash of your optional lock password - are stored with chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome may sync across your own signed-in browsers via your Google account. We never receive it.
• Statistics - counts of blocked page visits per site and focus minutes - are stored locally with chrome.storage.local and never leave your device.
• License - if you buy Pro, your license key, its activation instance ID, status and the email returned by the license server are stored locally.

Data sent off your device

Only for Pro license checks: when you activate a license and about once a day afterwards, the extension sends your license key and activation instance ID to Lemon Squeezy (api.lemonsqueezy.com), our payment and licensing provider, to confirm the license is valid. No browsing history or site list is sent. Lemon Squeezy's handling of purchase data is covered by its own privacy policy: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.

Permissions

• declarativeNetRequest: blocks the sites you choose. Chrome performs the blocking; the extension does not see your browsing.
• storage: saves your settings. alarms: ends focus sessions and applies schedules. activeTab: lets "Block this site" read the address of the current tab only when you click it.
• Optional "all sites" access: only if you turn on the friendly blocked page, so Chrome can redirect blocked pages to it. The extension does not read or modify page content.

Limited Use

The use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is used only to provide the extension's single purpose (blocking distractions) and is never sold, used for advertising or credit-worthiness, or transferred to third parties except as described above.

Children

SiteHush is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Deleting your data

Remove the extension, or clear its data from chrome://extensions. To deactivate a license, use "Remove license" in Settings.
