Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to The 20s Rule. This Privacy Policy explains how Oliver Brodersen ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and protects information in relation to our browser extension ("Extension") and our websites, 20srule.com and 20sekundersreglen.dk ("Websites").

Your privacy is fundamental to us. This policy is designed to be transparent about our data practices so you can use our services with confidence. The data controller responsible for your information is Oliver Brodersen.

2. Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on whether you are using our Extension or visiting our Websites. We are committed to collecting only the minimum data necessary to operate and improve our services.

A. Data Collected by The 20s Rule Extension

To find bugs, make improvements, and understand how the Extension is used, we collect a small amount of completely anonymous usage data. This data is aggregated and can never be used to identify you personally.

The anonymous data we collect includes:

• Event Type: Whether the event is an installation or a pause screen interaction.
• Blocked Hostname: The general domain name of the site that triggered the pause (e.g., youtube.com). We do not collect the full URL.
• Pause Outcome: Whether you chose to "proceed," "close," or "skip" after the pause.
• Duration: How long the pause screen was displayed.
• Nudge Text: The content of the "nudge" message shown during the pause.
• Extension Version: The version of the Extension you are using (e.g., 1.5.0).

B. Data Collected on Our Websites

When you visit our Websites, we use third-party services to collect standard analytics data to understand how our site is used and to improve our marketing efforts. This information is processed in a way that does not directly identify anyone.

These services include:

• Google Analytics: Collects data about website traffic, visitor behavior, device type, and general geographic location. This is done using cookies. You can learn more about Google's practices at Google's Privacy & Terms.
• Ahrefs: Used for SEO and website traffic analysis. You can learn more at Ahrefs' Privacy Policy.

C. Information You Provide Voluntarily

In the future, we may offer a feedback form on our Websites. You can submit this feedback completely anonymously. You may also have the option to voluntarily provide your email address if you would like a direct response to your feedback. We will only use this email address to communicate with you about your specific inquiry.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Improve Our Services: Anonymous data from the Extension helps us identify which features are popular, diagnose technical problems, and make The 20s Rule more effective.
• To Analyze Website Performance: Data from Google Analytics and Ahrefs helps us understand our audience and improve our Websites.
• To Respond to You: If you voluntarily provide your email address with feedback, we will use it to respond to your inquiry.
