# Privacy Policy for FocusBuddy

**Last Updated**: November 22, 2025
**Developer**: FocusBuddy Team
**Contact**: focusbuddy.app@outlook.com

This Privacy Policy describes how **FocusBuddy** (the “App”) handles your information. The App is designed to be **100% offline and privacy-first**. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your device.

## 1. No Personal Data Collected

- All focus sessions, distraction logs, settings, and achievements are stored **locally on your device only**.
- We **do not access** your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, calendar, or usage behavior.
- There is **no cloud sync**, no account system, and no analytics tracking.
- The App works completely offline — even without an internet connection.

## 2. Third-Party Advertising

- We use **Google AdMob** to display optional ads, such as:
  - Rewarded videos (e.g., “Watch ad to unlock a new theme”)
  - Occasional interstitial ads (shown after every few sessions, skippable)
- AdMob may collect limited non-personal information (like device model, OS version, or approximate IP address) to serve relevant ads, in accordance with [Google’s Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
- You can opt out of personalized advertising:
  - **On Android**: Settings → Google → Ads → “Opt out of Ads Personalization”
  - **On iOS**: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Toggle off “Personalized Ads”

## 3. No Analytics or Tracking SDKs

- We do **not integrate** Firebase, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any user-tracking tools.
- There is **no fingerprinting**, session recording, or behavioral profiling.

## 4. Children’s Privacy

- FocusBuddy is not intended for children under the age of 13.
- We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

## 5. Changes to This Policy

- If we ever change this policy (e.g., if we add optional cloud backup in the future), we will update this page and revise the “Last Updated” date.
- Any changes will respect your existing privacy expectations.
