Limitation of Liability

FocusComet is provided 'as is' without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss of data, productivity, or other damages arising from your use of the app. Our total liability to you will not exceed the amount you paid for the app in the past 12 months.

Our commitment to your data privacy.

Overview

FocusComet is a focus and digital wellness app. We built it with a simple principle: your personal habits and usage data are yours. We collect only what is strictly necessary to make the app work, and we never sell or share your data with advertisers or third parties.

What Stays On Your Device

•Which apps are installed on your device

•Which apps you use and for how long (app usage stats)

•Your blocked app selections and focus profiles

•Individual session timestamps and durations

This data is processed entirely on-device using Android's UsageStatsManager API. It is never transmitted to our servers.

What We Sync to Our Servers

If you create an account, we store the following in Firebase (Google Cloud):

•Your email address and display name (used for your account — never shown to other users)

•Total focus minutes, current streak, and daily goal settings

•Focus session records (date, duration, profile name — no app-level detail)

•Leaderboard profile: username (chosen by you), emoji, optional city/country, star count

•Focus profile names, colours, and settings (no app lists)

•Notification preferences, FCM token (for push notifications), and timezone

Guest users (browsing anonymously) have all data stored locally only. If you later create an account, your local data is migrated to your account.

Legal Bases (EU/UK Users)

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases to process your data:

•Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — to provide the FocusComet service you signed up for: focus sessions, profiles, leaderboard, subscriptions.

•Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for analytics, crash reporting, and any product-improvement telemetry. You can grant or withdraw consent at any time via Settings → Manage privacy choices.

•Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for limited security and fraud-prevention operations on our backend.

•Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — where we must retain records to comply with tax, accounting, or other applicable law.

Your Rights (EU/UK Users)

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

•Right of access (Art. 15) — request a copy of all data we hold about you. Use Settings → Export my data for an instant JSON export.

•Right to rectification (Art. 16) — correct inaccurate data. Edit your profile in Settings → My account.

•Right to erasure (Art. 17) — delete your account and all associated data. Use Settings → Delete my account.

•Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18) — ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved.

•Right to data portability (Art. 20) — receive your data in a machine-readable format. The Export my data feature returns standards-compliant JSON.

•Right to object (Art. 21) — object to processing based on legitimate interest.

•Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3)) — turn off analytics/crash reporting in Settings → Manage privacy choices at any time.

•Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77) — contact your local supervisory authority if you believe we've mishandled your data.

To exercise rights not available in-app, email support@focuscomet.com. We will respond within 30 days.

International Data Transfers

Your data is stored in Google Firebase, which may transfer data to the United States. These transfers are protected by the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission and the UK ICO, as part of Google Cloud's Data Processing Addendum.

RevenueCat and Mixpanel also process data in the United States under SCCs.

Permissions We Request

•Usage Access — to know which apps are open so focus sessions can work. On-device only.

•Do Not Disturb — to silence notifications during focus sessions. Never used otherwise.

•Notifications — to send streak reminders and session alerts you opt into.

•Notification Access (Premium) — to block notifications from specific apps during focus, rather than silencing everything via Do Not Disturb.

You can revoke any permission at any time from Android Settings.

Authentication

Account sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication (Google). We support email/password login. We do not store passwords — Firebase handles all credential management securely.

Data Retention & Deletion

•Account data — kept for as long as your account is active.

•Focus session history — capped at the most recent 500 sessions per account.

•Crash logs (when consented) — retained by Firebase Crashlytics for up to 90 days.

•Analytics events (when consented) — retained by Firebase Analytics for up to 14 months.

•Backup deletion grace period — after you delete your account in-app, residual data is purged from backups within 30 days.

To delete your account immediately, use Settings → Delete my account. All Firestore data tied to your account is wiped at the moment you confirm; the FirebaseAuth user is deleted in the same operation. If you cannot access the app, email support@focuscomet.com and we'll process the deletion within 30 days.

Guest data stored in local SharedPreferences is removed when you tap Delete my account or when you uninstall the app.

Third-Party Services

•Firebase (Google) — authentication, cloud storage, and usage analytics. Subject to Google's privacy policy.

•RevenueCat — subscription management. Processes purchase receipts only.

•Mixpanel — product analytics. Tracks in-app events (sessions, screens, upgrades) to help us improve the experience. No personal content is shared.

We do not use any advertising SDKs or sell your data to third parties.

Children's Privacy

FocusComet is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where the GDPR or local law requires a higher age for digital consent (16 in some EU countries), parents or guardians are responsible for supervising their child's use.

We comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at support@focuscomet.com and we will delete it promptly.

U.S. State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, or another U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the following rights:

•Right to know what personal information we collect about you (see "What We Sync to Our Servers" above).

•Right to delete your personal information — use Settings → Delete my account.

•Right to correct inaccurate information — edit your profile in Settings → My account.

•Right to opt out of analytics — use Settings → Manage privacy choices.

•Right to non-discrimination — FocusComet works the same whether you exercise these rights or not.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use your data to train any AI/ML models.

To exercise rights not available in-app, email support@focuscomet.com. We will respond within 45 days.

EU Representative

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may contact us directly at support@focuscomet.com for any privacy-related inquiry. We are in the process of appointing a designated EU representative under Article 27 of the GDPR; their details will be published here once the appointment is finalized.

Supervisory Authorities

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. A list of EU supervisory authorities is maintained at edpb.europa.eu. UK residents can complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make significant changes, we will notify you via an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Data Retention & Compliance

We do not retain any copies of your focus or identity profiles.

No personal identifying information is held.

Retention Period: Free and guest accounts are removed instantly. Deletion requests submitted via the web form are executed within 7 business days once ownership is verified.
