Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Infinicada ("I", "me", or "my") handles information when you use the Focus Pocus mobile application (the "App").

The Short Version: I do not collect personal data. All your blocking configurations, usage stats, and app activity stay on your device. The App sends anonymous crash reports and basic usage statistics to help fix bugs and improve the App — this sharing is enabled by default, no personal information is ever included, and you can turn it off during onboarding or at any time in Settings.

1. Data Collection and Use

• No Personal Information: The App does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide your name, email address, or phone number.
• No Advertising ID: The advertising identifier (AD_ID) is explicitly removed from the App. There is no cross-app tracking or ad targeting of any kind.
• Local App Data: All configuration settings, blocked app lists, focus session history, and usage statistics are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to external servers. This data is also excluded from Android cloud backups and device-to-device transfers, so it never leaves your device even through system backup.
• Anonymous Analytics (see Section 2): The App collects anonymous crash reports and basic usage statistics via Firebase (Google). No personal data is included in these reports. This sharing is enabled by default; the setting is shown to you during onboarding, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings.

2. Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics

Focus Pocus uses two Firebase services provided by Google. Anonymous sharing is enabled by default, and you can turn it off at any time:

• Firebase Crashlytics (Crash Reporting): When enabled, automatically sends anonymous crash reports if the App crashes unexpectedly. Reports include the stack trace, device model, Android OS version, and App version. No user identifiers, account information, or personal data are attached to crash reports.
• Firebase Analytics (Usage Statistics): When enabled, automatically collects anonymous usage statistics such as session length and general app activity. The advertising identifier (AD_ID) is explicitly excluded. No personal data, account information, or details about which apps you block are ever transmitted.

The Share Analytics setting is presented during the initial onboarding flow, where you can switch it off before finishing setup. Users who installed the App before this setting existed are shown a one-time dialog to make the same choice. You can enable or disable both services at any time in Settings → Privacy → Share Analytics. Disabling the toggle immediately stops all data collection and transmission.

Data collected by these Firebase services is processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

3. Android Permissions

To function as a productivity tool, Focus Pocus requires specific permissions from your Android device. These permissions are used strictly for functionality and never for data collection.

• NFC (Near Field Communication): Required to detect when you tap your phone against an NFC tag to toggle focus on/off. Tag data is processed locally in real-time and never stored or transmitted.
• Accessibility Service: Required to monitor which app is in the foreground so Focus Pocus can enforce blocking and time limits. This monitoring happens entirely on-device; no app activity is uploaded.
• Notification Access: Required to cancel notifications from blocked apps during active focus sessions, preventing interruptions from slipping through.
• Do Not Disturb Access: Required to optionally silence all device notifications during a focus session. Only activated if you choose this setting; all control stays on-device.
• Usage Stats Access: Required to track per-app screen time for daily time limits and the Insights dashboard. Usage data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted.
• Post Notifications: Required to display focus session status updates and schedule reminders in the system notification shade.
• Receive Boot Completed: Required to restore active focus sessions and scheduled rituals after your device restarts, so blocking resumes automatically without manual intervention.
• Device Owner / Device Admin (optional — Warden Mode): Only if you explicitly provision Focus Pocus as device owner via a manual, one-time adb command. The App uses this role for exactly two things: suspending blocked apps at the system level during focus sessions, and preventing the App's own uninstall while Warden Mode is active. It is never used for monitoring, data access, or remote control, no additional data is collected or transmitted, and you can remove the role at any time in Settings → Warden Mode (outside an active focus session).

4. Data Retention

All local settings and configurations are stored on your device and are immediately deleted when you uninstall the App. Because App data is excluded from Android's cloud backup and device-transfer systems, no copy persists after uninstall. Anonymous crash and analytics data sent to Firebase is retained and processed by Google in accordance with their data retention policies. Because no personal identifiers are attached to this data, it cannot be linked back to you.

5. Advertising

Focus Pocus is free and does not display third-party advertisements. The advertising identifier (AD_ID) is explicitly removed and no ad-targeting data is collected.

6. Children's Privacy

The App does not address anyone under the age of 13. As the App does not collect personal information, I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
