Locked In

|---|---|

This Privacy Policy explains how **Locked In** ("the App", "we", "us", or "our"),

published by **ITOne Uz**, handles information when you use the App. The App is a

focus and productivity tool that provides a Pomodoro-style timer, an app blocker,

and personal usage statistics.

We have designed Locked In to be **privacy-first**: all of your personal focus

data stays on your device. We do not operate any servers, we do not have user

accounts, and we never collect, sell, or transmit your personal focus data to us.

The only component that processes data off your device is the third‑party

advertising provider described in the "Advertising" section below.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

## 2. Information We Do **Not** Collect

We do **not** collect, store on our servers, or transmit to ourselves any of the

following:

- Your name, email address, phone number, or any account information.

- The contents of your screen, your keystrokes, your passwords, or your messages.

- The contents of your notifications.

- Your browsing history.

- Your precise location.

The App does not require you to register or sign in.

## 3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To provide its features, the App stores the following information **locally on

your device only** (using your device's private app storage and database). This

information is never sent to us:

- **Focus sessions and timer history** — records of your Pomodoro/focus sessions.

- **Block groups and blocked apps** — the list of applications you choose to block.

- **App usage statistics** — usage data read from your device's system in order to

display your own activity to you.

- **App settings and preferences** — including your chosen language and options.

- **Optional PIN** — if you enable the PIN lock, a one‑way cryptographic hash of

your PIN is stored locally. We cannot recover or read your PIN.

This data remains on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App or

clear its data from your device settings.

## 4. Device Permissions and Why We Use Them

The App requests certain Android permissions strictly to provide its

functionality. Data accessed through these permissions is processed **on your

device** and is **not** collected by us or transmitted to our servers.

- **Accessibility Service** — Used **only** to detect which app is currently in

the foreground during an active focus session and to return you to the home

screen if that app is on your block list. The service does **not** read screen

content, text fields, passwords, or keystrokes, and it does not record or

transmit any information. It acts only on the apps you explicitly choose to

block.

- **Notification Access (Notification Listener)** — Used **only** to dismiss

notifications from apps you have chosen to block, so they do not distract you.

Notification content is not stored, logged, or transmitted.

- **Usage Access (Package Usage Stats)** — Used to display **your own**

app‑usage statistics to you. This information stays on your device.

- **Query Installed Apps** — Used to show you a list of the apps installed on

your device so you can select which ones to block. This list stays on your

device.

- **Notifications (Post Notifications)** — Used to notify you when a focus

session ends or when you attempt to open a blocked app.

- **Foreground Service / Wake Lock** — Used to keep the timer and blocker

running reliably while a focus session is active.

- **Run at Startup / Ignore Battery Optimizations** — Used to keep blocking

working after your device restarts and to prevent the system from stopping the

service during a session.

You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device's system

settings. Some features will not work without the permissions they rely on.

## 5. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App displays advertisements provided by **Google AdMob**, a service operated

by Google LLC. To deliver and measure ads, Google AdMob and its partners may

collect and process certain information, which may include:

- Advertising identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID).

- Device information (such as device model, operating system, and language).

- IP address and approximate, coarse location derived from it.

- Information about your interaction with ads.

This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with **Google's own

practices. You can review how Google uses this information here:

- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

**Personalized vs. non‑personalized ads.** Depending on your region and your

consent, ads may be personalized or non‑personalized. Where required by law

(for example, in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom), the App

uses Google's consent mechanism to request your choice before showing

personalized ads.

You can opt out of personalized advertising or reset your advertising

identifier at any time through your device settings:

**Settings → Google → Ads**.

---

## 6. Data Sharing

We do **not** sell or share your personal focus data with anyone.

The only data processed by a third party is the advertising data handled by

Google AdMob, as described in Section 5. Aside from that, no data leaves your

device.

---

## 7. Data Security

Your focus data is stored in the App's private storage area on your device, which

is protected by the Android operating system. If you enable the optional PIN

lock, only a one‑way cryptographic hash of your PIN is stored — never the PIN

itself.

No method of electronic storage is completely secure, but because your personal

focus data never leaves your device, the risk of remote compromise is minimized.

---

## 8. Data Retention and Deletion

All of your personal focus data is stored locally. You can delete it at any time

by:

- Clearing the App's data in **Settings → Apps → Locked In → Storage**, or

- Uninstalling the App, which removes all locally stored data.

---

## 9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent

minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal

information from children. Because the App shows advertising, we recommend it for

a general audience. If you believe a child has provided personal information

through the advertising services, please refer to Google's policies linked above.

---

## 10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise

the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. Significant changes may also

be communicated through the App or its store listing. Your continued use of the

App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
