FocusModes Privacy Policy

FocusModes is made by Scott Munning, trading as SummitNinety. This policy explains what data FocusModes stores on-device, what it does not collect, and your rights.

  • On-device data boundary
  • No account system
  • No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs
  • Support and terms linked alongside privacy
Last updated

1. What data we collect

FocusModes stores the following data that you create inside the app:

  • Session history — focus block start time, end time, mode used, and completion status
  • Care activity history — local records of accepted prompts; an elapsed countdown does not establish physical movement
  • Preferences — selected mode, appearance, notification, movement, and desk settings
  • Custom modes that you create and save on your device

2. What we do not collect

We do not collect:

  • Names, email addresses, or any account credentials
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • App-operated usage analytics, crash collection, or behavioural telemetry

3. How data is stored

On-device. FocusModes stores its history, settings, and custom modes locally on your iPhone using Apple's on-device storage and app group defaults. No FocusModes data is sent to a SummitNinety server. We operate no product backend for this app.

4. Notifications

FocusModes schedules local notifications on-device to signal phase changes and care intervals. No notification content is sent to external servers. You can enable or disable notifications at any time in FocusModes → Settings or in iOS Settings → FocusModes.

5. Widgets

FocusModes includes an optional home-screen stats widget. The widget reads a lightweight on-device summary from the same app group storage as the app. No timer state or session data is sent externally.

6. Accounts and payments

FocusModes 1.2 has no in-app purchase. In FocusModes 2.0, including its TestFlight beta, you do not create a FocusModes account. Apple processes the free trial transaction and one-time unlock using your Apple Account. The app reads verified App Store transaction identifiers, product identifiers, original purchase dates, and revocation status to determine access. Apple retains its purchase records; clearing local history does not delete them or restart a trial. No payment card details are received by FocusModes or sent to a SummitNinety server. Apple may provide aggregate sales and opt-in usage reports under its own policies.

7. Third-party SDKs and analytics

FocusModes contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. There are no Facebook, Google, or similar integrations.

8. Clearing your data

You can remove all local history at any time via FocusModes → Settings → Clear Activity History. Deleting the app removes its local data; Apple-managed purchases and backups are separate.

9. Your rights

Because your data lives on your device, you control it directly:

  • Access — your session history is visible inside the app
  • Delete — use Settings → Clear Activity History, or delete the app to remove all data

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted in the app release notes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
