Effective Date: October 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information FocusLock accesses, how it is used, and how it is handled.
1. Information FocusLock Accesses
FocusLock may access the following information on your Android device:
• App and package information — FocusLock identifies installed applications and the application currently in the foreground in order to provide app-blocking and scheduling features.
• Accessibility information — FocusLock uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when selected applications are opened and to display the FocusLock blocking screen when a scheduled restriction applies.
• Usage information — FocusLock may use Android Usage Stats information to determine which application is currently being used and to support monitoring and temporary access features.
• Device and system information — FocusLock may read basic Android device and manufacturer information to provide device-specific setup instructions, such as background activity settings.
2. PIN and App Settings
If you create a FocusLock PIN, the PIN is not stored as plain text. FocusLock stores a cryptographic SHA-256 hash of the PIN locally on your device.
FocusLock may also store your selected blocked applications, schedules, monitoring status, and related settings locally on your device.
3. How Your Information Is Used
The information accessed by FocusLock is used only to provide the App's core functionality, including:
• Blocking selected applications during scheduled periods.
• Monitoring application usage while FocusLock protection is active.
• Managing temporary emergency access.
• Maintaining your FocusLock settings and PIN protection.
• Providing device-specific setup guidance.
4. Data Storage and Sharing
FocusLock is designed to process the information described above locally on your Android device.
FocusLock does not currently require you to create an account and does not currently operate a FocusLock server for collecting or storing your personal information.
FocusLock does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or data brokers
FocusLock does not currently include third-party advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting services.
5. Accessibility Service
FocusLock uses the Android Accessibility API as an essential part of its app-blocking functionality.
The Accessibility Service allows FocusLock to detect when a selected application is opened so that FocusLock can enforce the user's configured blocking schedule.
FocusLock does not use the Accessibility Service to read passwords, financial information, or private messages, and does not use it to change device settings without the user's action.
The Accessibility Service is enabled only after the user explicitly enables the FocusLock Accessibility Service in Android Settings.
6. Data Security
FocusLock takes reasonable measures to keep locally stored settings protected.
The FocusLock PIN is stored as a SHA-256 hash rather than as plain text.
However, no software or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Children's Privacy
FocusLock is a general productivity application and is not specifically directed toward children.
FocusLock does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Third-Party Services
FocusLock relies on Android operating-system features and settings, including Accessibility Services, Usage Stats, foreground services, and Android system settings.
Those Android system features are provided by Google and the device manufacturer and may be subject to their own privacy policies.
FocusLock does not currently send the information described in this Privacy Policy to third-party servers.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as FocusLock develops new features or changes its functionality.
Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
