FocusBlocker Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 14, 2026
1. Introduction
FocusBlocker is an app designed to help users reduce digital distractions by blocking selected apps or distracting features.
This Privacy Policy explains what information FocusBlocker collects or processes, how that information is used, and the choices available to users.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
FocusBlocker allows users to create and sign in to an account.
Depending on the sign-in method used, we may process:
• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• Firebase authentication identifiers
• Information required to authenticate and maintain the user account
Passwords are handled by the authentication provider. FocusBlocker does not intentionally store user passwords in plain text.
2.2 App and Settings Information
FocusBlocker may store information necessary to provide its functionality, including:
• Selected apps or features to block
• Focus session settings
• Blocking preferences
• Start and end times configured by the user
• App-related configuration and status information
This information is used to provide the blocking and focus functionality requested by the user.
2.3 Device and Application Information
FocusBlocker may process technical information required for its functionality, such as application/package information needed to determine whether a supported app or feature should be blocked.
FocusBlocker does not use this information for unrelated purposes.
3. Accessibility Service
FocusBlocker uses Android's Accessibility Service to provide its app and feature-blocking functionality.
The Accessibility Service may allow FocusBlocker to detect relevant on-screen application or interface information so that the app can determine when a supported distracting feature or application should be blocked.
For example, the service may be used to help identify supported features such as:
• Instagram Reels
• YouTube Shorts
• Chrome Incognito mode
• Other blocking targets supported by FocusBlocker
The Accessibility Service is used for FocusBlocker's core blocking functionality and is not intended to collect unrelated personal information.
FocusBlocker does not intentionally use the Accessibility Service to collect passwords, financial information, personal messages, or other sensitive information unrelated to the blocking functionality.
If the required Accessibility permission is disabled, some or all FocusBlocker blocking features may not work.
4. How We Use Information
Information processed by FocusBlocker may be used to:
• Create and manage user accounts
• Authenticate users
• Save user preferences and settings
• Provide app and feature-blocking functionality
• Provide focus-session functionality
• Maintain and operate the app
• Diagnose and resolve technical problems
• Respond to user support requests
• Improve the reliability and functionality of FocusBlocker
We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to operating and supporting FocusBlocker.
5. Firebase and Third-Party Services
FocusBlocker uses Firebase services provided by Google for functionality such as authentication and database services.
Depending on the features used by the current version of the app, Firebase may process information necessary to provide those services, such as account and authentication information and data stored by FocusBlocker.
Firebase services operate according to Google's applicable privacy practices.

FocusBlocker does not currently display third-party advertising.
If advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, or other third-party services are added to a future version of FocusBlocker, this Privacy Policy will be updated where necessary.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell users' personal information.
Information may be processed or shared with service providers, including Firebase, when reasonably necessary to:
• Provide FocusBlocker's services
• Authenticate users
• Store required application data
• Maintain and secure the app
• Diagnose technical problems
• Comply with legal requirements
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through FocusBlocker.
However, no electronic storage system or method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should also protect their account credentials and device from unauthorized access.
8. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
• Provide FocusBlocker's services
• Maintain user accounts
• Provide requested functionality
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce applicable agreements
When information is no longer required, we may delete or anonymize it where reasonably appropriate and technically possible.
9. Account and Data Deletion
Users may request deletion of their FocusBlocker account and associated personal information by contacting us using the email address provided below.
Email: bakoliyayogesh7@gmail.com
When a valid deletion request is received, we will take reasonable steps to delete the applicable account information, subject to information that we are required or permitted to retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or other legitimate purposes.
Some information stored or processed by third-party service providers may also be subject to their applicable retention and deletion policies.
10. Permissions and User Choices
FocusBlocker requires certain Android permissions to provide its functionality.
In particular, the Accessibility Service permission is required for the app's blocking features.
Users can manage Android permissions through their device settings. Disabling required permissions may prevent some FocusBlocker features from functioning.
Users may also:
• Sign out of their account
• Update applicable account information
• Request account and data deletion
• Change their FocusBlocker settings
• Disable required permissions through Android settings
11. Children's Privacy
FocusBlocker is designed as a productivity and digital-distraction management tool and may be used by students and other users.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to FocusBlocker in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us at:
bakoliyayogesh7@gmail.com
We will review the request and take appropriate action where required.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when FocusBlocker's features, services, or data practices change.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
