Focus Lock ("we", "our", or "the app") provides a digital wellbeing tool to help users reduce mobile distractions and improve focus. This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates regarding device permissions and user privacy.

1. Android System Permissions & Purpose

To enforce focus sessions and block selected distracting applications locally, Focus Lock requests the following system permissions:

a. Accessibility Service (BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE)

Focus Lock uses Android's Accessibility Service solely to detect when a user-selected distracting application is launched during an active Focus Session, automatically displaying a blocking screen to keep you on track.

• Prominent Disclosure: The Accessibility Service operates strictly in real time on your device.
• Zero Data Collection: Focus Lock does NOT use Accessibility Access to read, record, store, or transmit your private messages, passwords, photos, contacts, financial info, audio, or screen text.
• No External Sharing: Zero accessibility data is ever uploaded to remote servers or shared with third parties.

b. Usage Access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS)

Required to accurately determine which application is currently active on your device and calculate local focus session statistics.

c. Ignore Battery Optimization (REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS)

Allows Focus Lock's background timer service to stay active during deep work sessions without being killed by Android system power managers.

d. Notifications

Used to send local alerts on your device for session start, remaining time, and session completion reminders.

2. Data Collection & Analytics

We collect ZERO personal data. Focus Lock does not incorporate any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, user tracking tools, or cloud backends.

• No Account Needed: Focus Lock does not require user registration, email sign-in, or passwords.
• No Location Data: We do not track or request your GPS or device location.
• No Third-Party Sharing: Because no data is collected, no data is sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or data brokers.

3. Local Data Storage & Deletion

All focus session logs, stats, streak records, and custom blocking preferences are saved locally on your device in an encrypted SQLite database.

You have full ownership of your data. You can instantly and permanently erase all application statistics and preferences at any time by:

• Clearing app data in Android Settings: Settings > Apps > Focus Lock > Storage > Clear Storage
• Uninstalling the Focus Lock application from your device.

4. Children's Privacy

Focus Lock does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. The application is an offline productivity utility suitable for general audiences.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect app updates or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
