Focus Era ("we", "us") is a focus timer app that helps you build deep work habits. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what we do with it. We try to keep this short and honest.
Who we are
Focus Era is built and operated by Rania Inraraland. You can reach us at focusera@proton.me for any privacy questions or to request data deletion.
What we collect
We collect only what's needed to make the app work:
- Email address — to sign you in and sync your progress across your devices.
- Focus session history — task name, duration, completion time, and whether you finished or abandoned. Used to show your stats and earn era progression.
- Preferences — your name, chosen era, theme, durations, blocking lists, and tone setting.
- Anonymized device crash data (if you opt in) — to fix bugs.
We do not collect:
- Location
- Contacts
- Browsing history
- Microphone or camera audio (the camera is only used when you tap "take photo" during a friction quit, and the photo stays on your device — we don't upload it)
- Any tracking or advertising identifiers
How we use it
- To sign you in and remember who you are
- To sync your progress between devices (Mac and iPhone)
- To show you your own stats
- To send you the daily nudge notification (if you've enabled notifications)
We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't have advertisers.
Where it's stored
Your data is stored in Supabase (a US-based PostgreSQL hosting provider) with row-level security — your account can only ever read or modify its own data. We use TLS for all transit.
Your local device also stores a cached copy of your progress so the app works offline.
How long we keep it
For as long as you have an account. You can delete your account anytime from inside the app — Settings → "delete account". This permanently removes your profile, sessions, streak, blocklist, and authentication record. If you'd prefer, you can also email focusera@proton.me and we'll delete everything within 30 days.
Children
Focus Era is not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. For significant changes (e.g., new data collection), we'll show you a notice in the app.
