What stays on your device

The list of websites and categories you block, your schedule and time limits, the time spent each day on limited sites, how many times you tried to open a blocked site each day, the Pomodoros you finish, your focus time and the minutes Chrome is in use with blocking on, each day (each day's details are kept for 90 days for the Progress view, then only their monthly totals), your experience points, level and badges, the timer state, your ambience settings, your preferences and the hashed password if you turn on password protection are stored in your browser. The weekly card is drawn in your browser from these figures, and only leaves your device if you share it yourself. For the Adult content category, the blocked site's name is never recorded: only the number of attempts is. None of this is sent to us, and it is all erased from a computer when you uninstall the extension there.

There is one exception, if you turn on Pro's sync: your list, categories, schedule, settings, hashed password and progress go through Chrome sync to reach your other computers. Google then stores them in your Google account, never on our servers, and uninstalling the extension on one computer doesn't erase them from the others.

What the extension does

To block a website, the extension asks for access to all websites: this is what lets Chrome redirect the addresses on your list to the "blocked" page. It reads the address of the active tab to offer to block the site you're on and to count the time spent on the sites you limit, but it doesn't read page content or record your history. Site icons come from Chrome's local cache, or ship with the extension for the most common sites.

The extension only contacts our server if you link it to your account, to check your plan. That request contains no browsing data. If you open the plans from the blocked page, they load from this website, without the name of the blocked site.

What we collect

The website and the extension work without an account. If you create an account: your email address, your language, when you signed up and last signed in, your ID at our payment provider, your subscription status and renewal date, a hashed version of the token that links the extension to your account and, if you start the trial, a random ID of the extension's install, so that it gives the trial only once.

If you write to us through the bugs and ideas form: your message, your email if you give it, your language, your browser type and the extension's version.

Your country, worked out from your IP address, is used to show prices in the right currency; we don't keep it. Our providers keep technical logs (IP address, date and time) for security.

We measure the website's audience with a cookieless tool: page views, referrers, country and device type, without identifying visitors. We don't collect your browsing history, use no advertising tools, and sell no data.

Purposes and legal bases

Running your account and subscription, and sending the emails that go with them (sign-in, end of trial, renewal, password): performance of the contract.

Keeping invoices: legal obligation.

Replying to your messages and improving Claryda: legitimate interest.

Measuring the website's audience, securing the service and preventing abuse: legitimate interest.

Service providers

Our providers process this data on our behalf: website hosting and audience measurement, authentication and database (servers in Paris), payments and invoicing (card details are handled by our payment provider only), sending and receiving emails.

Some of these providers are based in the United States. Any resulting transfer of data outside the European Union is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep it

As long as your account exists. You can ask for its deletion at contact@claryda.com: your data is then erased within 30 days, except invoices and accounting records, which are kept for 10 years as French law requires. Form messages are kept while we deal with them, and for three years at most.

Cookies

The website only uses the cookies needed to keep you signed in, to remember your language and, for one hour at most, to carry out the trial or plan you picked before signing in. Your theme (light or dark) stays in your browser. It uses no advertising or analytics cookies, so no consent is asked.

Your rights

You can access, correct, delete or export your data, restrict its processing or object to it by emailing contact@claryda.com. We reply within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL, cnil.fr).
