This Privacy Policy describes how the developer of Focus (“we”, “the app”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and deletes personal information when you use Focus on iPhone. By creating an account, joining a family, or using features that send data to our providers, you agree to the processing described here. If you do not agree, do not use the app or delete your account.
The controller of personal data processed through Focus is the developer listed on the App Store product page (Bundle ID aec.focusia). For privacy requests, use the contact email on that listing or, if available, Contact support in Settings.
This policy applies to:
We do not control third-party sites or services the app may link to (for example, Apple pages to manage subscriptions). Those services have their own policies.
Depending on how you use Focus, we may process the following categories:
Sending data to AI providers happens only when you act (for example, you finish a dictation or send a message), not continuously in the background.
You can deny or revoke these permissions in iOS Settings. Some features will stop working.
We use data to:
We do not sell personal data. We do not use your family content to personalize ads or to train our own AI models for advertising.
Depending on your jurisdiction, processing is based on one or more of: performance of a contract (providing the service you requested), your consent (device permissions, voluntary text sent to AI, certain optional data, and advertising consent forms when applicable), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, limited operations), and legal obligations where applicable.
We share data only with providers needed to operate Focus, under their own terms:
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the service or users, to the extent permitted.
Family members with access will see shared family content (agenda, notes, vault, profiles). You are responsible for who receives the invite code.
Our providers may process data on servers outside your country (for example, the United States or other regions). By using Focus you understand those transfers may occur subject to each provider’s safeguards.
We retain data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we delete or unlink your user and, depending on backend configuration, family data covered by that deletion flow. Residual copies may remain in backups for a limited period for security and continuity until rotated.
Monthly AI usage counters reset per the calendar cycle implemented in the app. Local preferences may remain on the device until you uninstall the app or clear data.
We apply reasonable technical and organizational security measures (authenticated access, encryption in transit to services, family access controls). No system is 100% secure. Avoid uploading to the vault or dictating to the assistant highly sensitive information (passwords, detailed medical data, full card numbers, etc.) unless strictly necessary.
Focus is designed as a family organizer. The App Store / Focus account holder must have legal capacity to accept these terms and, if minors are in the family, is responsible for their use and content about them. We do not target Focus independently at children to collect their data without a responsible adult.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, rectify, update, restrict, object to, or request deletion of personal data. In practice, within Focus you can:
Apple purchases and refunds follow Apple’s policies; deleting your Focus account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription.
We do not sell your personal information. The Free plan may show third-party ads via AdMob. We do not use your family agenda content (events, notes, documents, chat) to personalize those ads. Focus PRO removes ads.
We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the current version. For material changes we will try to notify you in the app or on the App Store listing when reasonable. Continued use after an update means acceptance of the new version, unless law requires other consent.
To exercise rights or ask privacy questions: the developer contact email on the Focus App Store listing, or Settings → Contact support / Report content if shown in your version.
