The app

BlockFocus stores your block lists, schedules, profiles, settings, session history and license key only on your computer, in C:\ProgramData\BlockFocus. This data never leaves your computer; we cannot see it. The only exception is Pro activation, described below.

There is no account, no advertising, no crash reporting and no usage tracking. To block websites, the app checks the destination website name of outgoing connections locally, in memory, during a session; it does not record or send your browsing history. License keys are verified offline.

The optional update check is off by default. If you turn on “Check for new versions”, the app downloads a small version file from our website at most once a day; the request carries nothing beyond what every web request carries (your IP address, the app name and version).

Pro license

Purchases are processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record; your card details never reach us. We receive your e-mail address and order details only to deliver your license, provide support and handle refunds, and the amount paid and your billing country for accounting and sales reports. When Pro activates, and once a month when it renews, only your license key and a one-way fingerprint of your computer (a hash that cannot be turned back into your computer's identity) are sent to our server; this is how the 3-computer limit works. The free version sends no data.
