Privacy Policy for CogniFocus

• Anonymous usage information such as sessions started or completed.
• General device and app environment details like device model or OS version.
• Performance, crash, and diagnostic information used to improve reliability.
• Interaction events related to focus sessions, distraction handling, and feature usage.

CogniFocus is not designed to collect sensitive personal information such as precise location data, contacts, photos, or messages.

Focus timers, custom session settings, local progress information, distraction counts, blocked app selections, and focus-related activity may be stored locally on your device so the app can function properly.

This may include timer preferences such as Pomodoro, Power, Deep, or Custom modes, focus goals, last session state, and locally shown focus score or tracking summaries.

On supported Android devices, CogniFocus may request permissions such as Usage Access and Display Over Other Apps to power Focus Shield. These permissions allow the app to detect when blocked social apps are opened during an active focus session and to display an intervention overlay with warning feedback and character reactions.

Focus Shield can also use local blocked-app settings, local enable or disable controls, and distraction stats so users can manage how the feature behaves on their device.

These permissions are used to support the app's focus features and are not intended to monitor unrelated personal content inside other apps.

CogniFocus may use analytics or diagnostics tools, including Firebase Analytics, to understand usage patterns, improve performance, and fix issues.

These tools may process technical information such as app interactions, device identifiers, crash signals, and general usage patterns. For more information, please review Google's privacy policy:

If you submit your email through the CogniFocus waitlist form on the website, that information is handled by the form provider used on the site so we can send launch updates and early access messages.

We do not ask for more information than needed for the waitlist flow, and you can choose not to submit the form if you do not want to share your email address.

CogniFocus does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be processed by service providers used for analytics, diagnostics, or waitlist communications where needed to operate or improve the product.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information related to the app and website. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the app or website, please contact us so we can review and address the situation.

Changes may reflect new app features, changes in analytics tools, legal requirements, or updates to permissions and device support. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
