Privacy Policy for Focus OS
Effective Date: August 25, 2026
Focus OS ("we," "our," or "us") built the Focus OS application as a Freemium app.
This SERVICE is provided at no cost for the basic tier and is intended for use as-is.
By using Focus OS, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance
with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.
1. Information Collection and Use
For a better experience while using our Service, we may require you to provide us
with certain personally identifiable information. The information we request is
retained by us and processed as described in this policy.
We collect the following categories of data:
-
Account & Profile Data: When you sign in via Google
through Firebase Authentication, we receive your email address, display name,
and profile photo URL. This data is used solely for account management and
personalization.
-
Subscription & Billing Data: When you purchase a Premium
subscription, RevenueCat processes anonymous transaction tokens on our behalf.
We do not store or access your actual payment card details — those are handled
exclusively by the app store (Google Play).
-
Usage & Diagnostic Data: We collect anonymous usage
statistics (screen time, task counts, feature interactions) to improve the
product. No personally identifying information is tied to this telemetry.
-
Device & Log Data: In the case of an error, we may
automatically collect device IP address, device name, operating system version,
app configuration state, and timestamps via third-party crash-reporting services.
-
Accessibility Services API: Focus OS utilizes
Android's AccessibilityService API solely to support its core
app-blocking functionality. The service monitors which application
is currently in the foreground by detecting window state changes
and recording the package name of the active app. This data is
processed entirely on-device in real-time and is used exclusively
to determine when a user-selected blocked app is opened during an
active focus session, triggering the focus overlay to help the user
stay productive. The AccessibilityService does NOT: read, collect,
store, or transmit any screen content, text, keystrokes, personal
data, or sensitive information; change or modify any system settings;
interact with or manipulate any UI elements; record audio or capture
screenshots; or share any data with third parties. The service only
accesses the package name of the foreground app, which is stored
temporarily in local device memory and never leaves the device.
2. Third-Party Services
Focus OS relies on trusted third-party providers to operate. Each processes data
under its own privacy policy:
-
Firebase Authentication (Google): Manages user sign-in, account
creation, and identity verification. We store your Firebase UID, email, display
name, and avatar URL. See
Firebase Privacy Policy.
-
Firebase Firestore: Stores user-generated content (tasks,
community posts, settings). Data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
-
RevenueCat: Processes anonymous subscription tokens for
entitlement verification. RevenueCat never receives your real name, email, or
payment card. See
RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
-
Google Play Billing: Handles all payment transactions. Focus OS
never sees your payment credentials.
-
Gemini API (Google — Third-Party AI Integration):
Powers the AI avatar conversations. When you voluntarily interact with
the AI Avatar, your text inputs are transmitted to Google's Gemini servers
to generate a response. By using this feature, you explicitly consent to
the processing of your text inputs. We limit the use of this data
exclusively to providing the conversational feature. Focus OS does not
transmit your personal account identifiers, task history, or general app
usage data to the AI unless you specifically type it into the chat
interface yourself.
3. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal data only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the
Service, maintain accounts, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal
obligations.
Account Deletion: You have the right to request the full
deletion of your account and associated data. You can initiate this process
directly within the Focus OS app by navigating to
Settings > Account > Delete Account. Alternatively, you may
request deletion via the web by emailing
focusoscomp@gmail.com from your registered email address.
Upon receiving your request, your Firebase Auth account, Firestore documents,
and all associated personal data will be completely deleted within
30 days.
Subscription tokens managed by RevenueCat are subject to RevenueCat's retention
policies; however, we will revoke your entitlements on our side upon account
deletion.
4. Children's Privacy
Focus OS is intended for users 18 years or older. If you are under
the required age in your jurisdiction, you should use Focus OS only with parent or
guardian permission where legally required. We do not knowingly collect personal
data from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal
information, we will delete it immediately. Please contact
focusoscomp@gmail.com if you believe a child has submitted data.
5. Security
We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for all data in transit and
encryption-at-rest via Firebase infrastructure. Access to production data is
restricted to the app owner and is never shared with third parties for marketing
purposes. No security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. International Users
Your information may be processed and stored in any country where we or our
service providers operate. By using Focus OS, you consent to the transfer of your
data to countries outside your jurisdiction, including the United States. We
ensure appropriate safeguards are in place via Firebase's GDPR-compliant data
processing agreements.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes
by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the
top. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
