Last updated: November 26, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Sole Proprietor Markov Oleksandr Ivanovich, doing business as "Mark Digital" ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data.

This policy applies to the BlockDistraction browser extension (the "Service") and our website https://blockdistraction.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with international standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. Data We Collect

• Account Information: When you create an account or purchase a Pro subscription, we collect your email address. This is used to authenticate you, verify your license status, and provide support.
• Transaction Data: Payments are processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle.com. We do not store or have access to your full credit card number. We receive only transaction metadata (e.g., status, country, last 4 digits) to manage your subscription.
• Technical Data: We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (e.g., "number of active users") to improve the product performance.

Important: We do NOT collect your browsing history, the websites you visit, or your passwords. Your blocking rules stay on your device.

2. How We Use Your Data

• Service Provision: To verify your Pro license key and unlock advanced features.
• Billing: To process payments, calculate taxes, and send receipts via Paddle.
• Communication: To send you important updates regarding your subscription or technical support responses.

3. Data Storage & Protection

• Authentication: We use Google Firebase Authentication to securely manage user logins.
• Database: Your subscription status and license key are stored in a secure Google Cloud Firestore database.
• Local Storage: Your blocked sites list, schedules, and extension settings are stored locally on your device or synchronized via your browser's native cloud storage (e.g., Chrome Sync), which we cannot access.

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to operate our business:

• Paddle: For payment processing and order fulfillment.
• Google Firebase: For authentication and secure database hosting.
• Google Analytics: For anonymous website traffic analysis (IP anonymized).
