Introduction

Thank you for choosing Focus Voyager. This Privacy Policy outlines how Focus Voyager ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use our iOS application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

This policy is governed by the laws of Australia and is intended to comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). By using the Focus Voyager App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

To provide and enhance our services, we collect the following types of information:

Information You Voluntarily Provide

Task Information: We collect the names of tasks you create within the App (e.g., "Work Project," "Study Session"). This information is stored on your device and may be backed up to your private iCloud account if you have iCloud Sync enabled. We use this to help you track your focus sessions.

Information Collected Automatically

Usage Data: We collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App. This includes which scenes you select (e.g., "Paris Streets"), the duration of your focus sessions, and feature usage patterns. This data is aggregated and helps us understand which features are popular and how to improve the App.

Device and Technical Information: We collect information about your device, such as the device model, iOS version, and network connection status. This is used for technical optimization, troubleshooting, and ensuring compatibility.

Information Collected with Your Permission

Approximate Location Data: With your explicit consent, we access your approximate geographical location (e.g., city-level) one time to unlock relevant free scenes (such as "Sydney Beach" if you are near Sydney). We do not store your precise coordinates or track your real-time movements. This permission can be revoked at any time in your iOS Settings.

Information Collected from Third Parties

Payment Information: When you purchase a subscription or a lifetime license, the transaction is processed securely through Apple's In-App Purchase system. We receive a transaction receipt from Apple for record-keeping but do not collect, access, or store your personal payment details like your credit card number. You can review Apple's Privacy Policy here: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain Our Service: To deliver the core functionality of the App, including providing scene content, enabling the focus timer, and tracking your tasks.
  • To Improve and Personalize the App: We analyze aggregated usage data to understand user preferences, enhance the user experience, and guide future development. We may also use your usage history to suggest scenes you might enjoy.
  • To Process Transactions: To manage your subscriptions and purchases made via Apple's In-App Purchase system.
  • To Communicate with You: To respond to your support requests, send important notices about your account or changes to our terms and policies, and, if you opt-in, to send promotional offers for our services. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
  • For Security and Legal Compliance: To protect the security of our App and users, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable laws and legal obligations in Australia.

3. Will Your Information Be Shared with Anyone?

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following situations:

  • With Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors that perform services for us, primarily Apple for processing In-App Purchases.
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable Australian law, a governmental request, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
  • With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.

4. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

  • Account-Related Data: Information tied to your session history is retained as long as you use the App.
  • Anonymized Data: Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.

5. How Do We Keep Your Information Secure?

  • Data Encryption: Using industry-standard encryption protocols like AES-256 for stored data and TLS for data in transit.
  • Access Controls: Limiting access to personal information to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
  • Regular Audits: Conducting regular security reviews of our systems and practices to prevent unauthorized access.
