Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026 · Applies to: FocusFlow: Habit & Timer (Android)

1. Who We Are

FocusFlow: Habit & Timer ("the App") is developed and maintained by PTE Team ("we", "our", "us"). You can contact us at greene.pte@gmail.com.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

• Your name, email address, or any account information
• Your habit names, session history, or productivity data
• Your device's location
• Your contacts or any other personal information
• Usage analytics or behavioral tracking data

The app does not require account registration and works completely offline for all core features.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device using Android Room (local database) and DataStore (preferences):

• Your habits (name, emoji, color, reminder time, repeat schedule)
• Focus session history (date, duration, task name)
• App settings and preferences (theme, daily goal, timer duration)
• Streak counts and completion records

This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. You can delete all data by uninstalling the app.

4. Third-Party Services

4a. Google AdMob (Free Tier)

Free users see banner and interstitial ads provided by Google AdMob. Google may collect device information and advertising identifiers to show relevant ads. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Pro subscribers see no ads.

EU/EEA users: AdMob operates under Google's consent framework. The app uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request appropriate consent before serving personalized ads where required by law.

4b. Google Gemini AI (AI Insights Feature)

The AI Insights feature sends anonymized productivity statistics (total minutes, session counts, best hours — no personal identifiers) to Google's Gemini API to generate productivity tips. This feature requires an internet connection and only activates when you explicitly tap "Generate AI Insights." No data is sent automatically.

4c. Google Play Billing

Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment card information. Billing is governed by Google Play Terms of Service.

5. Permissions Used

• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — Used only to send habit reminders you configure. No notifications are sent without your permission.
• RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — Allows habit reminders to be rescheduled after device restart.
• INTERNET — Required for: (1) displaying AdMob ads for free users, (2) AI Insights feature (optional).
• BILLING — Required for Google Play in-app purchases (Pro subscription).

6. Children's Privacy

FocusFlow is not directed at children under 13 (US) or under 16 (EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided data, contact us and we will address it promptly.

7. EU/EEA Users — GDPR Rights

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:

• Right of Access — All your data is on your device. You can view it at any time within the app.
• Right to Erasure — Uninstalling the app deletes all locally stored data.
• Right to Data Portability — Pro users can export all data as CSV.
• Right to Object to Processing — You can opt out of personalized ads via your device's advertising settings.

Since we do not collect personal data ourselves, most GDPR rights are exercised directly on your device. For ad-related requests, contact Google at Google Ad Settings.

8. California Users — CCPA

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. California residents have rights under the CCPA which we honor by default through our no-data-collection policy.

9. Data Security

Since all personal data stays on your device, security depends on your device's built-in protection (screen lock, encryption). We recommend keeping your device updated and using a screen lock.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as the app evolves. We will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, notify users via the app's "What's New" section in Google Play.
