Privacy Policy for Focused
Effective Date: November 9, 2025
This Privacy Policy is designed to clearly articulate the data handling practices for the mobile application Focused (the "App").
We recognize that user privacy is paramount, and we are committed to providing an application that requires no personal data from its users.
1. No Collection of Personal Information by the App
The App, Focused, is fundamentally designed to function without collecting any Personal Information from its users.
We do not collect, transmit, store, or share any data about you, your device, or your usage of the App.
The term "Personal Information" includes, but is not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, location data, IP addresses, unique device identifiers, or any other data that could be used to identify an individual.
2. Local-Only Operation and Data Processing
Focused is designed to operate entirely offline and does not connect to the internet for its core functionality.
App Functionality and Permissions
The primary functions of the App are:
Timer Setting: To allow the user to set a focus timer.
App Blocking: To allow the user to select and block specific installed applications on their device during a focus session.
To enable the app blocking feature, the App must access and view a list of installed applications on your device.
Crucially, the handling of this data is as follows:
Data Processing: The list of installed apps is processed only on your device to display a selection list and enable the blocking function.
Local Storage: The App stores the list of applications you select for blocking (your "Block List") on your device's local storage. This data is stored to save your preferences for future focus sessions.
Data Transmission: This stored data is never transmitted to any remote server or third party by the App developer.
3. Platform Analytics and Non-Personal Data
While the App itself does not contain any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services, the platform through which the App is distributed (Google Play Store) automatically collects certain non-personal device and usage information.
This information is collected and processed by the platform to enable necessary services, monitor app performance, and provide developers with aggregated statistics (such as crash reports, device type, and install/uninstall counts). This data collection is governed by the platform's own privacy policy (e.g., Google's privacy policy) and is outside the control of the App developer.
4. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new Privacy Policy on this page and update the "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
