FocusFlow Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to FocusFlow Pomodoro ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

FocusFlow is designed with privacy in mind. We believe productivity apps should be simple, private, and respect your data. This policy outlines our commitment to those principles.

Information We Collect

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

FocusFlow stores the following information locally on your device:

• Focus Session Data: Timer settings, session durations, and completion records
• Statistics: Daily and weekly productivity metrics, focus time totals
• User Preferences: App settings, notification preferences, and customization options
• Session History: Records of completed Pomodoro sessions for statistical purposes

All of this data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties. We do not have access to this information.

Information We Do NOT Collect

FocusFlow does not collect or require:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• User accounts or login credentials
• Payment information (the app is completely free)
• Location data
• Contact lists or calendar data
• Usage analytics or tracking data
• Any data that could identify you personally

How We Use Your Information

Since all data is stored locally on your device, we do not "use" your information in any way. The data exists solely to provide you with the app's functionality:

• Displaying your focus statistics and progress
• Maintaining your timer settings and preferences
• Showing historical data about your productivity patterns
• Providing notifications based on your preferences

All processing happens on your device, and no data is sent to external servers.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored using your device's secure local storage mechanisms. On iOS devices, this means your data is protected by iOS security features including:

• Encryption at rest when your device is locked
• Sandboxed app storage that prevents access by other apps
• Automatic backup to iCloud (if you have iCloud Backup enabled)

On Android devices, your data is similarly protected by Android's security features.

Since we don't collect or transmit your data, there is no risk of server breaches, unauthorized access to our systems, or data leaks from our infrastructure—because we don't have any infrastructure collecting your data.

Third-Party Services

FocusFlow does not integrate with any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data collection platforms. We do not share your data with third parties because we do not collect it.

The app functions entirely offline and does not require an internet connection (except for initial download from the App Store).

Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is accessible within the app's statistics and settings
• Deletion: You can delete all app data by uninstalling FocusFlow or using device storage management
• Export: Your data remains in standard formats on your device
• No Account Needed: Since there's no account, there's nothing to deactivate or delete from our servers

Children's Privacy

FocusFlow is suitable for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there are no special privacy concerns for children. We comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) by not collecting any personal information from users of any age.

International Users

FocusFlow is available worldwide. Since all data is stored locally on your device and we don't operate any servers or process any personal data, there are no cross-border data transfer concerns. Your data stays in your country, on your device.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of FocusFlow after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

App Permissions

FocusFlow may request the following device permissions:

• Notifications: To alert you when focus sessions start, end, or when breaks are over
• Background App Refresh: To keep timers running when the app is in the background

These permissions are used solely for app functionality and do not enable any data collection.

Data Retention

Your focus session data and statistics are retained on your device indefinitely until you delete the app or manually clear the data. We have no retention policies because we don't store any data on our servers.

GDPR Compliance (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, since FocusFlow does not collect, process, or store any personal data on servers, most GDPR provisions do not apply. Your data is entirely under your control on your device.

CCPA Compliance (California Users)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights. Since we do not collect or sell personal information, CCPA's main provisions do not apply to FocusFlow. We do not sell your personal information because we do not collect it.

Summary

The short version: FocusFlow is a privacy-first productivity app. We don't collect your data, we don't track you, we don't require accounts, and we don't sell anything. Your focus sessions and statistics stay on your device, under your control. That's it.
