Gamana Focus does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data,
browsing history, or search terms. There are no analytics, no third-party
services, and no remote servers involved anywhere in this extension.


While it's running, Gamana makes a small local request roughly every
2 seconds to http://127.0.0.1:47800/state — a server that only exists on
your own computer, run by the companion Gamana desktop app. That request
never leaves your machine; it doesn't go out over the internet.

The response is just two things: whether focus mode is currently on, and the
list of site domains you configured to be blocked while it's on. Both of
these are values you set yourself, inside the Gamana app.

If that response says focus mode is on, the extension compares the domain
you're navigating to against your blocked-site list, entirely inside your
browser, and if it matches, redirects that tab to a local "This site is
blocked" page bundled with the extension. Nothing about which sites you
visit — blocked or not — is recorded, logged, or sent anywhere.

If the Gamana app isn't running, the request simply fails, focus mode is
treated as off, and nothing is blocked.

• webRequest / webRequestBlocking — needed to intercept and redirect
  navigation to a blocked site before the page loads.
• <all_urls> — the list of sites to block is defined by you, inside the
  Gamana app, and can be any domain. Since that list isn't known in advance,
  the extension needs the ability to check the destination of any navigation
  against it. This permission is only ever used for that comparison; it is
  never used to read, modify, or transmit page content.

The extension keeps the latest focus state in memory only, for as long as
Firefox is running. Nothing is written to disk by the extension itself, and
nothing persists after it's removed.
