Regen is a Chrome extension designed to help users reduce time spent on distraction websites through local timers and reflection prompts. Regen is built with a privacy-first architecture and does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers.
- Data Collection Regen does not collect or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), browsing history, passwords, messages, financial data, or authentication data.
The only data Regen stores is:
- User-configured session time limits
- The list of distraction domains the user manually adds
- Local reflection entries written by the user
- The user's local operator profile (name and focus category)
- Local usage metadata such as time reclaimed
This data is stored entirely within Chrome's local extension storage on the user’s device. No data leaves the browser.
-
Website Content Access Regen requests access to website URLs solely to determine whether the user is currently visiting a distraction site they have configured. Regen does not access or read any page content, messages, credentials, or form inputs.
-
No Remote Servers Regen does not use any remote servers, cloud storage, external APIs, analytics services, or external code. All logic is executed locally.
-
Permissions Regen uses the following browser permissions:
- "tabs": To detect when the user is on a distraction site and trigger the Focus Reset screen.
- "storage": To save settings and local reflection logs.
- "<all_urls>": To allow users to add custom distraction sites.
These permissions are used exclusively for the extension's single purpose: helping users manage time spent on distraction sites.
-
Data Transfer Regen does not sell, share, transfer, or upload user data to any third party.
-
Children’s Privacy Regen does not target children or collect any personal information.
