Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 15, 2026

This policy covers discky.com and its two Chrome extensions, Journal DSA and Journal Focus. These are personal, single-user productivity tools. Any data they handle is sent only to the owner's own private backend at discky.com. Nothing is sold, shared with third parties, used for advertising, or fed into analytics or tracking.

Journal DSA (coding-practice tracker)

The extension stores the following in your browser (chrome.storage.local):

  • An authentication token, bridged from your signed-in session on discky.com, used to authorize API calls.
  • Solve-timer state, per-problem timers, detected-problem metadata, your settings, and any active practice-contest session.

It sends the following to the private DSA API (api.discky.com/dsa):

  • Attempt records you explicitly log — status, the solution notes/code you type into the log form, time/space complexity, an optional code snippet you paste, and how long you spent — associated with the practice problem and the site it came from.

On the supported practice sites — leetcode.com, hackerrank.com, fastprep.io, codeforces.com and prachub.com — it reads public problem metadata (title, difficulty, topic tags): on LeetCode through LeetCode's own API using your existing session, and on the others from the problem page you already have open. It never accesses or stores your credentials for any of these sites, and it does not read your solutions from the page — only what you type or paste into the extension.

Journal Focus (pomodoro / focus timer)

The extension stores in your browser (chrome.storage.local):

  • An authentication token bridged from your signed-in journal session.
  • Timer state and a small queue of pending focus sessions awaiting sync.

It sends your focus sessions (durations and the task they belong to) to the private journal API (api.discky.com/journal).

Permissions

  • storage — keep the items above in your browser between sessions.
  • alarms — drive the timer badge and time-limit reminders while the service worker is idle.
  • notifications — surface a reminder when a solve limit or focus interval is reached.
  • offscreen (Journal DSA) — play short timer sound cues.
  • Host access to api.discky.com (the private backend), leetcode.com, hackerrank.com, fastprep.io, codeforces.com and prachub.com (Journal DSA, to detect the current problem), and localhost (local development only).

Data sharing & sale

None. Your data is transmitted only between your browser and the owner's own backend. It is never sold, rented, or shared with any third party, and is not used for advertising, credit assessment, or any purpose unrelated to the tool's core function.

Retention

Data stored in your browser stays until you sign out or uninstall the extension (which clears it). Records you log (DSA attempts, focus sessions) persist in the owner's private database so the tools can show your history and review schedule; you can request their deletion at any time.
