| 1 | +# Privacy Policy |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +_Last updated: 2026-07-06_ |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +FocusForce+ is built to keep your data on your device. This policy explains what that means in plain terms. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## The short version |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +FocusForce+ collects nothing, sends nothing, and shares nothing. Everything you put into the app stays on your phone. The app has no internet permission, so it has no technical way to transmit your data anywhere. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## What the app stores, and where |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +All of it lives locally in the app's own storage on your device: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- Your routines, to-dos, focus sessions, and app-blocking rules |
| 16 | +- App usage time, used only for the daily limits and the stats shown to you |
| 17 | +- Your settings and preferences |
| 18 | +- A local history of completed routines and focus sessions, for the statistics screen |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If you uninstall the app, this data is removed with it (unless you exported a backup yourself). |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Permissions and why they exist |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Each permission powers one feature and nothing else. You can skip any of them, and the related feature simply stays off. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- **Notifications**: to show routine alarms and to-do reminders. |
| 27 | +- **Alarms and reminders (exact alarms)**: so reminders fire on time. |
| 28 | +- **Display over other apps**: so an alarm screen can appear over whatever you're doing. |
| 29 | +- **Accessibility service**: to detect which app you just opened, so a blocked app can be covered. It cannot and does not read your screen content. This is switched off in the service configuration. |
| 30 | +- **Usage access**: to measure how long you used an app, for daily time limits and the screen-time numbers you see. |
| 31 | +- **Do Not Disturb access**: so a focus session can silence interruptions and turn that back off when it ends. |
| 32 | +- **Battery (unrestricted)**: optional, so reminders stay reliable on aggressive battery savers. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +None of this information leaves your device. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Backups |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Android may include the app in a device backup you have enabled in your system settings. That backup is handled by Google and your device, not by FocusForce+, and follows your own backup settings. The app's setup state is excluded from backup on purpose, so a fresh install always walks you through setup again. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You can also export all your data to a plain JSON file yourself, from Settings. That file goes wherever you choose to save it, and it's your responsibility from that point on. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Children |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +FocusForce+ is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## Changes |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date at the top. |
