Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 5, 2026

Welcome to FocusFlow. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the FocusFlow mobile application handles information when you use our focus timer, Pomodoro sessions, task planner, productivity analytics, and related features.

1. Information We Collect

FocusFlow is designed as an offline-first application. The app does not require you to create an account, register, or provide personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use its core features.

Information you may create or save in the app includes:

• Tasks, task descriptions, categories, and priorities.
• Focus session durations and completion status.
• Productivity statistics and focus streak records.
• Timer preferences and application settings.
• Other information you voluntarily enter into the app.

2. How Your Information Is Stored

Your tasks, focus sessions, productivity records, and preferences are stored locally on your device using the app's local storage system.

FocusFlow does not require a cloud account or online synchronization service for its core functionality. Your locally stored information remains on your device unless you choose to export or share it, or your device or operating system handles it through backup features.

3. Internet and Offline Functionality

FocusFlow is designed to provide its core focus timer, task management, sound generation, and productivity tracking features offline. Built-in focus sounds are generated on your device and do not require audio streaming.

The app does not need an internet connection for its core offline features. If future versions introduce online services or third-party integrations, this policy will be updated to explain the relevant data practices.

4. Notifications and Timer Permissions

FocusFlow may use Android notification functionality to display active timer information and notify you when a focus session or break is completed.

Notifications help you manage your focus schedule. You can manage or disable notification permissions through your Android device settings.

5. Focus Sounds and Audio

FocusFlow includes built-in sounds such as Soft Rain, White Noise, Nature Ambience, and timer completion chimes. These sounds are generated locally by the app. The app does not need to stream audio from an external server for these built-in sounds.

6. Data Export and Import

FocusFlow provides JSON export and import functionality to help you back up and restore your tasks and focus session records.

When you export a backup, the generated file may contain information saved in the app. If you choose to share or store that file using another application or service, its handling will be governed by that service's privacy policy and practices.

You are responsible for keeping exported backup files secure and importing files from trusted sources.

7. Data Sharing

FocusFlow does not sell your personal information. The app's core offline features are designed to operate without sending your tasks, focus sessions, or productivity records to our servers.

If you independently share an exported backup file or use an external Android sharing application, information may be handled by the application or service you select.

8. Third-Party Services

The core functionality described in this policy is designed to work without mandatory third-party accounts or cloud services.

If third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or other external SDKs are added in a future release, their data practices will be disclosed in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

9. Data Security

We aim to protect information stored by FocusFlow through the security features provided by Android and the app's local storage architecture.

However, no electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We recommend protecting your device with an appropriate screen lock and keeping backup files in secure locations.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Your locally stored information remains on your device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the application, subject to Android backup and device storage behavior.

FocusFlow provides a clear-data option with a confirmation step. Before clearing data or uninstalling the app, export a backup if you wish to retain your records.

11. Children's Privacy

FocusFlow is a general productivity application and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children. The app does not require account creation for its core features.

If you believe that personal information has been provided to us in connection with the app, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

12. Your Privacy Choices

You can control your information by:

• Choosing what information you enter into the app.
• Managing notification permissions in Android settings.
• Exporting your locally stored records.
• Deleting your app data through the available settings.
• Uninstalling the app from your device.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when app features, data practices, or applicable requirements change. Any revised policy will be published with an updated revision date.
