Focus Cove ("the app", "we", "our") is designed with privacy as a first principle. This policy explains, plainly, what data the app handles and what it does not.

Focus Cove does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything you do in the app stays on your device.

Information We Collect

None. Focus Cove does not collect any personal information from you. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or any account credentials, because the app has no accounts.

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The app stores the following information only on your device, using Apple's standard local storage (UserDefaults). It never leaves your device and is never sent to us or any third party:

• Your completed and ended-early focus sessions (focus type, duration, start/end time)
• Your in-app preferences (selected theme, whether the remaining-time label is shown, ambient indicator toggle)
• A small set of sample focus sessions generated on first launch so the dashboard isn't empty (you can clear these at any time from Settings → Clear all local data)

You can delete all of this data at any time from Settings → Clear all local data, or by deleting the app from your device.

Network and Analytics

Focus Cove makes no network requests. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, no advertising frameworks, no remote configuration, and no telemetry. The app works entirely offline.

Third-Party Services

Focus Cove uses no third-party services. The only platform interactions are with Apple's standard iOS frameworks (SwiftUI, Foundation, Charts) for rendering and local data storage.

Children's Privacy

Focus Cove does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. The app is appropriate for all ages.

Permissions

Focus Cove does not request access to your camera, microphone, photos, contacts, location, motion data, calendar, reminders, or any other personal data on your device.
