Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Jivily is a productivity tool that helps users stay focused by detecting unproductive websites and showing alerts. We take privacy extremely seriously. Jivily is designed to work without collecting, storing, or selling any personal data, and we intentionally avoid accessing anything that is not required for the core function of the extension.
2. What Data Jivily Processes
To determine whether a website is productive or not, the extension only processes the following:
- Page title (e.g., “Funny Cat Videos – YouTube”)
- Url / Domain (e.g., “youtube.com/watch?v=...”)
- Anonymous technical ID (userId) generated locally to manage daily API limits. It does not identify you.
3. What Jivily Does Not Collect
Jivily does not collect, store, or sell:
- browsing history
- personal identity (name, email, phone, etc.)
- passwords or login information
- cookies or browsing data
- form entries or text typed on websites
- screenshots or page content
- analytics tied to your identity
4. How Data Is Processed
When you visit a website:
- The extension reads the page title and url.
- This information is sent to our AI API endpoint.
- The AI returns an assessment if its a time wasting activity or not.
- The extension displays a local notification (alert) if needed.
All processing happens in real time. Jivily itself does not store page titles, domains, urls or any personal data. For operational and security reasons, our service providers (Cloudflare & OpenAI) may retain short-term logs or metadata; we do not use these logs to identify users or for profiling. See Third-Party Services for more detail.
5. Data Retention
Jivily retains no data. Titles and urls are not stored after the AI returns a classification. The anonymous userId remains only on your local device and can be deleted by reinstalling the extension.
6. Permissions Explanation
- tabs / activeTab / host permissions – used only to read page titles and urls.
- storage – used to save anonymous ID and preferences.
- alarms – used to maintain periodic checks required by Chrome service worker limitations.
- scripting – used to display the on-page alert box directly into websites the user visits. It is not used to modify, collect, or alter content beyond displaying the Jivily warning.
7. Third-Party Services
Jivily uses a small number of third-party services to operate securely and reliably. These are processors acting on our behalf; we only send the minimal data required for each service to perform its function.
- OpenAI (LLM) – receives only the page title and url to classify whether the page is productive. We do not send browsing history or personal identifiers. OpenAI may retain request logs for a short period for abuse prevention and quality; see OpenAI’s data usage policy for details.
- Cloudflare Workers – serves as a secure relay/edge for AI requests. Cloudflare may retain short-term logs and standard HTTP metadata for security and operational reasons. We do not store user-identifying logs on our servers.
8. Children’s Privacy
Jivily does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children. The extension is safe for all ages.
9. Your Rights
Since Jivily does not collect or store personal information, there is nothing to access, delete, or export. You may reset all local settings by reinstalling the extension.
10. Changes to This Policy
If Jivily evolves, we may update this Privacy Policy. We will always maintain transparency and never introduce tracking or data collection without clear user consent.
