The short version: Focus Home is designed to keep your data on your device. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. Almost everything you do in the app stays on your iPhone.
1. Overview
Focus Home ("we," "our," or "us") is a mobile application published by Focus Home for iOS devices. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use the Focus Home application and related services (collectively, the "App").
By downloading or using Focus Home, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
This policy applies to all users of Focus Home, including users of the free tier and Focus Home Premium subscribers.
2. Data We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the App's features. Most data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
2a. Data stored locally on your device (never sent to us)
| Data Type | Purpose | Where Stored |
|---|---|---|
| Daily intentions | Display your intention on the launcher and widgets | On-device only |
| Launcher profiles & settings | Save your work, home, and custom profile configurations | On-device only |
| Distraction app list | Apply friction rules to the apps you designate | On-device only |
| Focus Session history | Power your dashboard analytics | On-device only |
| Pickup & launch counts | Calculate your focus score and dashboard metrics | On-device only |
| Custom reflection prompts (Premium) | Display your chosen prompts when opening distracting apps | On-device only |
| Schedule/automation settings (Premium) | Switch launcher profiles automatically | On-device only |
| Theme preferences (Premium) | Apply your selected visual theme | On-device only |
2b. Data transmitted to our servers (with your permission)
| Data Type | Purpose | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Crash reports and diagnostic logs | Identify and fix bugs | Only if you consent to diagnostic sharing in iOS Settings |
| Aggregated, anonymized usage events (e.g., "Focus Session started") | Understand which features are used to improve the App | Only if you opt in to analytics (see Section 7) |
| Purchase receipts (validated by Apple) | Verify and activate Premium subscription | Only for Premium subscribers; processed by Apple |
2c. Data processed by Apple on our behalf
When you make a purchase through the App Store, Apple processes your payment information. We receive only a transaction receipt — we never see your name, credit card number, or billing address. Apple's handling of your payment data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
3. Data We Do Not Collect
Focus Home does not collect, store, or transmit:
- Your name, email address, or any account credentials
- Your location, GPS data, or location history
- Your contacts, photos, messages, or camera data
- The content of your notifications or messages
- Which specific apps you have installed (beyond what you designate within the App)
- Biometric data of any kind
- Your browsing history or activity in other apps
- Any data for advertising, tracking, or behavioral profiling purposes
We do not use any third-party advertising SDKs. We do not sell, rent, or license your personal information to any third party.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use the limited data we collect solely to:
- Provide and operate the App's features as you have configured them
- Verify your Premium subscription status with Apple
- Diagnose and fix technical problems (crash reports, if you have enabled iOS diagnostic sharing)
- Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the App (if you opt in to analytics)
- Respond to your support requests
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or any purpose beyond operating the App for your benefit.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. The only circumstances under which we may share data are:
- Apple Inc. — for App Store purchases and, if enabled, iOS diagnostic and crash reporting
- iCloud (Apple) — for Premium users who enable iCloud sync (see Section 6)
- Analytics provider — anonymized, aggregated event data only, if you opt in (see Section 7)
- Legal requirements — if required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public
- Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy
In every case, we share the minimum information necessary.
6. iCloud Sync (Premium Feature)
Focus Home Premium subscribers may enable iCloud sync, which uses Apple's CloudKit framework to synchronize your launcher profiles, settings, intentions, and preferences across your Apple devices.
When you enable iCloud sync:
- Your Focus Home data is stored in your personal iCloud account, which is managed by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy
- We do not have access to your iCloud data — it is encrypted and accessible only by your Apple ID
- You can disable iCloud sync and delete your iCloud data at any time in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Focus Home
iCloud sync is optional and disabled by default. You can use Focus Home Premium without enabling it.
7. Analytics
We use a privacy-focused analytics tool to understand how the App is used in aggregate — for example, how often users start Focus Sessions or which launcher profiles are most popular. This helps us prioritize improvements.
If you choose to opt in:
- Events are anonymized and aggregated before transmission — we cannot trace any event back to an individual user
- No personally identifiable information is included in analytics events
- No advertising identifiers (IDFA) are used
- You can opt out at any time in Focus Home Settings → Privacy → Analytics
Analytics sharing is disabled by default. We will ask for your permission the first time you open the App. You may change your choice at any time.
8. Subscriptions and Payments
Focus Home Premium is offered as a monthly auto-renewing subscription at $1.99/month, processed entirely through the Apple App Store using Apple's in-app purchase system.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
- Your subscription automatically renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
- You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings (Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions)
- No refunds are provided for partial subscription periods, except as required by applicable law or Apple's policies
- We do not store or have access to your payment card information at any time
For questions about billing, please contact Apple Support at reportaproblem.apple.com.
9. Children's Privacy
Focus Home is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at wbasidehustle@gmail.com and we will promptly delete such information.
Focus Home does not contain advertising and does not enable in-app purchases outside of the Premium subscription described above.
10. Your Rights
Because almost all of your Focus Home data lives on your device, you have complete control over it at all times.
Deleting your data
- Delete the App: Deleting Focus Home from your device permanently removes all locally stored data associated with the App
- iCloud data (Premium): Go to iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → Focus Home to delete your iCloud data
- Analytics opt-out: Go to Focus Home Settings → Privacy → Analytics and disable analytics
Accessing your data
All your Focus Home data is visible and accessible within the App itself — your dashboard, settings, and profiles contain the complete picture of what is stored.
Contacting us
To exercise any right, request a copy of data we hold about you, or ask us to delete any data, contact us at wbasidehustle@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
11. Data Retention
Local data (your intentions, profiles, and session history) is retained on your device until you delete the App or manually clear it within the App's settings.
If you contact us for support, we retain your correspondence for up to 12 months to provide ongoing assistance, after which it is deleted.
Anonymized, aggregated analytics data (if you opt in) does not expire, as it cannot be linked back to any individual.
12. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information associated with Focus Home:
- Local data is stored using iOS's standard secure storage mechanisms and is protected by your device's passcode and encryption
- Any data transmitted to our servers (crash reports, analytics if opted in) is encrypted in transit using TLS
- iCloud sync uses Apple's end-to-end encryption for CloudKit data
No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. If you believe a security incident has occurred, please contact us immediately at wbasidehustle@gmail.com.
13. California Residents — CCPA
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information.
Right to Know
You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months. Given our minimal data collection, we can answer most such requests by pointing you to this policy and the data visible in the App itself.
Right to Delete
You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting us at wbasidehustle@gmail.com. Most deletion can be accomplished immediately by deleting the App.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.
Do Not Sell
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To submit a request under CCPA, contact us at wbasidehustle@gmail.com with subject line "CCPA Request."
14. International Users — GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent national laws:
- Right of access — to know what personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification — to have inaccurate data corrected
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — to have your personal data deleted
- Right to restriction of processing — to ask us to limit how we use your data
- Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Right to object — to object to our processing of your data in certain circumstances
- Rights related to automated decision-making — Focus Home does not use automated decision-making or profiling
Our lawful basis for processing personal data is performance of a contract (providing the App's features you have requested) and legitimate interests (improving the App through anonymized analytics, with your consent).
To exercise these rights, contact us at wbasidehustle@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Data transmitted to our servers (crash reports, analytics) may be processed in the United States. We rely on Apple's standard contractual clauses for such transfers where required.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
- Post the revised policy at this URL
- For material changes, notify you via an in-app notice or App Store update release notes
Your continued use of Focus Home after any change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
