Focus Dew – Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Focus Dew ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the app on iPhone and iPad. Focus Dew is developed and operated by Khandker Tafiqul Islam (Bangladesh). Questions? Contact us at apps.rashad@gmail.com.
THE SHORT VERSION
- You don't need an account to use Focus Dew.
- Your habits, timers and focus sessions are stored on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your private iCloud account. We cannot see them.
- Deep Focus uses Apple's Screen Time framework. We never see which apps you block or how you use your phone.
- We use a small number of service providers for analytics, crash reports, ads and purchases. They receive technical and usage information, not the content of your habits.
- We do not sell your personal information.
1. INFORMATION YOU CREATE IN THE APP
Habits, check-ins, streaks, streak freezes, timers, Pomodoro and focus sessions, reminders and settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is turned on for your Apple Account, this data is also stored in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit service. It is managed and protected by Apple, and we have no access to it. You can turn iCloud sync off in iOS Settings.
2. DEEP FOCUS AND SCREEN TIME
Deep Focus asks for Screen Time permission through Apple's Family Controls framework. The apps and websites you choose are given to the app only as private tokens, so we cannot see which apps or sites you picked. Blocking happens on your device. Deep Focus totals (for example, minutes spent in Deep Focus) are kept on your device only. We do not collect your Screen Time or app usage data.
3. NOTIFICATIONS, WIDGETS AND LIVE ACTIVITIES
Reminders and notifications are scheduled on your device. Widgets and Live Activities read data from the app on your device. This content is not sent to us.
4. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
To keep the app working, understand how it is used, fix bugs and support the free version, we use these service providers:
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config): app usage events (for example, screens viewed, features used, onboarding steps and purchases started), app and device information (device model, iOS version, language, app version), an app instance identifier, approximate location (country or region, derived from your IP address) and crash reports. Remote Config lets us switch features on or off.
- Sentry: error and crash reports and limited performance data, including device and app information, so we can fix problems.
- Microsoft Clarity: how people interact with the app's screens (for example, taps, scrolls and screens viewed, which can include recordings of app sessions), so we can improve the design.
- Google AdMob: shows ads in the free version. AdMob may collect device information, IP address and ad interactions and, only if you allow tracking, your device's advertising identifier (IDFA). Where required (for example, in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), Google's consent tools are used.
- RevenueCat and Qonversion: manage purchases and subscriptions. They receive an anonymous app user ID, purchase and subscription details from Apple (such as product, price, trial status and renewal dates) and device information. Qonversion may also receive Apple Search Ads attribution data (which ad campaign, if any, led to the download).
- Apple: payments are processed by Apple. We never receive your payment card details.
Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy, available on its website.
5. TRACKING AND PERSONALIZED ADS
We use your advertising identifier (IDFA) for personalized ads and ad measurement only if you choose "Allow" when the app asks for permission to track. You can change this at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. If you don't allow tracking, you may still see ads, but they won't be personalized using your IDFA.
6. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
- To provide the app's features and sync your data through your iCloud
- To process and restore purchases and subscriptions
- To understand which features are used and improve the app
- To diagnose crashes and fix bugs
- To show and measure ads in the free version
- To keep the app secure and prevent misuse
- To reply when you contact us
7. LEGAL BASES (EEA, UK AND SWITZERLAND)
We process information to perform our contract with you (providing the app and your subscription), for our legitimate interests (analytics, crash reporting, security and improving the app), and with your consent (tracking, personalized ads and any other processing that requires consent). You can withdraw consent at any time as described in this policy.
8. SHARING
We share information only with the service providers listed above, who process it to provide their services to us; when required by law or to protect rights and safety; or as part of a sale or transfer of the app, in which case this policy will continue to apply. We do not sell your personal information.
9. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
- Data on your device stays there until you delete it or delete the app.
- Data in your iCloud stays there until you delete it in Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
- Information collected by our service providers is kept only as long as needed for the purposes above, according to their retention settings.
- If you email us, we keep the conversation for as long as needed to help you.
To ask us to delete information held by our service providers, email apps.rashad@gmail.com.
10. YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS
- Turn tracking off in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Turn notifications off in Settings > Notifications.
- Turn off iCloud sync in Settings > [your name] > iCloud, and remove Screen Time access in Settings > Screen Time.
- Delete the app to remove the data stored on your device.
Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent. Because Focus Dew has no user accounts, we often cannot link analytics data to a specific person, but email us at apps.rashad@gmail.com and we will help as far as we can. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
California residents: we do not sell personal information. If you allow tracking, advertising partners may use your advertising identifier for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can stop this at any time by turning tracking off.
11. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, they use safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
12. CHILDREN
Focus Dew is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
13. SECURITY
We take reasonable measures to protect information and rely on Apple's security for data on your device and in iCloud. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
14. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app or in the App Store release notes.
