Thanks for the question, developer here.

I need to read all websites you visit, to check them against your blocked list. I do not save any data outside of local storage on chrome. In fact I am pro-privacy, so I opted out of using chrome.sync, to sync the data between Chromes on different devices. Because it's 3rd party cloud.

Since I made this extension open-source, you can check if my claims are true here: https://bitbucket.org/redpandaua/distractoff

(Sorry for messy code, 1st time real JS development for me, refactoring and documenting is on it's way.)
