Privacy Policy for Focus Buddy Interval Timer

Last updated: October 10, 2026

Focus Buddy Interval Timer ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles user information.

1. Information Collection and Use

Focus Buddy Interval Timer is designed with user privacy as a priority:

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or require any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location.

• Local Data Storage: All preferences, timer presets, focus logs, or settings you configure within the app are saved locally on your device. They are not transmitted to or stored on any external servers.

2. Permissions Used

To function properly as an interval timer, the app may request certain standard device permissions:

• Notifications: Used solely to alert you when timer intervals complete, pause, or switch (e.g., focus session ended, break starting).

• Vibration / Sound Controls: Used to trigger haptic feedback or sound alerts during active timer sessions.

• Prevent Phone from Sleeping (Keep Screen On): Optionally used to keep the timer screen visible while you are actively timing a focus session.

Note: None of these permissions are used to collect or export your personal data.

3. Third-Party Services & Analytics

• Third-Party SDKs: The core app does not sell, trade, or transfer any user data to outside parties.

• Google Play Services: The app is distributed via Google Play, which may collect standard, aggregated diagnostic and operational usage data (such as app crash logs, device hardware models, and OS versions) through Google Play Services to maintain app stability.

4. Children’s Privacy

Focus Buddy Interval Timer does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Because our app does not collect personal data from any user, it is safe for users of all ages.

5. Security

Because all of your session data and settings remain entirely on your local device, your data security is tied directly to the security of your device. We encourage you to keep your device operating system updated.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this page periodically for any updates.
