LockIN Policies

Privacy Policy

LockIN, a Celexly product, is a focus and productivity extension for Chrome. It has no account system and no servers of its own. Your tasks, notes, journal, habits and focus history are written to your own browser and stay there. We do not collect, sell, rent or transmit your personal information, and there is no analytics or tracking of any kind in the extension.

What LockIN stores, and where

Everything LockIN records is stored using Chrome's own extension storage on your computer. There is no LockIN account, no login, and no LockIN server that receives your data.

Held in chrome.storage.local, and staying on that device:

• Your own content: tasks, kanban boards, habits, notes, scratchpad, journal, goals, day plans, reading list, quick links and saved tab sessions.
• Your progress: focus session history, daily focus totals, achievements, coins, character levels and progression.
• Your rules: blocking rules, schedules and per-site daily limits.
• Optional per-site time tracking: only a domain name such as example.com and a duration. Never a full URL, page title or page content.

Held in chrome.storage.sync: your preferences (theme, timer lengths, enabled features, and the optional display name you may type in for the greeting) and your Pro entitlement status. See the note below.

A note on Chrome Sync

Your preferences and Pro status are kept in chrome.storage.sync so that if you use Chrome on more than one computer, LockIN looks and behaves the same on each. That is a feature built into Chrome itself. If you have Chrome Sync switched on, Google synchronises that small block of settings between the Chrome profiles you are signed in to, under Google's own privacy policy. If Chrome Sync is off, it stays on this device like everything else.

To be clear about what this does and does not mean: it never includes your notes, tasks, journal, browsing, blocking rules or focus history. It is limited to preferences and your entitlement. LockIN itself never receives any of it, and we have no way to read it.

What LockIN does not do

• No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or usage statistics.
• No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
• No selling, renting or sharing of personal information with anyone.
• No reading of the pages you visit. Blocking is done with Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API, which lets Chrome match rules on our behalf. The extension never sees your browsing traffic.
• No remotely loaded code. All code is contained in the published package.
• No network requests of any kind for its core features. The only outbound connection LockIN can make is to our payment provider, and only for the purpose described below.

Payments

• The core of LockIN is free. If you choose to buy Pro, payment is handled by ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com), which processes the transaction and tells the extension whether your subscription is active.
• Card details are handled by ExtensionPay and their payment processor, Stripe. Celexly never sees or stores your card number.
• To manage a purchase, ExtensionPay collects the email address you provide at checkout. Their handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policy (extensionpay.com/privacy) and Stripe's (stripe.com/privacy).
• If you never buy Pro, no connection to them is made for billing.

Your control over your data

• Export. Settings has a one-click export that writes every piece of your data to a JSON file you keep.
• Delete. Clearing your data in Settings removes it. Uninstalling LockIN removes everything Chrome held for the extension on that device.
• Sync. Turning off Chrome Sync, or signing out of Chrome, stops preferences being synchronised.

Because we never receive your data, we cannot retrieve it, restore it or delete it on your behalf. Please keep your own backups.

Children

LockIN is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them. Since it collects nothing, there is nothing for us to hold in any case.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is handled, the "Last updated" date above changes with it and the updated version is posted on this page.

Permissions, and why each one exists

• storage: to save your settings and your own content on your device.
• alarms: to end a focus block at the right moment, even when no LockIN window is open.
• notifications: to tell you when a block or break has finished, if you turn notifications on.
• declarativeNetRequest: to block the sites you chose, without ever reading your traffic.
• tabs: so blocking also applies to tabs you already had open, and so optional time tracking can tell which site is in front of you. Only the domain is recorded.
• idle: to stop counting focus time when you step away, so your statistics stay honest.
• scripting: to place the optional character overlay on your tabs, and only once you enable it.
• sidePanel and commands: the side panel view and the keyboard shortcuts.
• Access to all sites (optional): not requested when you install. It is asked for only at the moment you switch on a feature that needs to draw on the page, such as the on-tab character, feed-only blocking, or greyscale. It is handed back automatically when you switch those features off.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

All purchases are final and we do not issue refunds. You can cancel a subscription at any time. Cancelling stops it renewing. It does not produce a refund, and you keep Pro until the period you have already paid for runs out.

No refunds

All payments for LockIN Pro, whether monthly, yearly or the one-time lifetime purchase, are final and non-refundable. This includes partly used subscription periods, and periods you did not use at all.

The whole of LockIN's core is free and always will be. Please use it for as long as you need to decide whether Pro is worth it to you before you buy.

Cancelling a subscription

• You can cancel a monthly or yearly subscription whenever you like, through the billing portal reached from the Pro screen inside the extension.
• Cancelling stops the subscription renewing. No further payment is taken.
• It is not a refund. Nothing is returned for the period already paid for.
• Your Pro features stay active until the end of the period you have paid for, then the extension returns to the free version by itself. Nothing you created is deleted when that happens.

Lifetime purchases

The lifetime option is a single payment with nothing to renew and nothing to cancel. Like the subscriptions, it is non-refundable.

Failed or duplicate charges

If you have been charged twice for the same thing, or believe a payment was taken in error, get in touch and we will look into it. Genuine billing errors are not covered by the no-refunds policy above.

Your legal rights

Nothing here removes any right you have under the consumer law that applies where you live, where that right cannot be waived by agreement. Where such a law gives you a right to a refund, that law takes precedence over this policy.
