+# Privacy Policy for FocusBuddy
+
+**Last Updated**: November 22, 2025  
+**Developer**: [Your Name or Studio]  
+**Contact**: [your-email@example.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.
+
+## 6. Questions?

+If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at:
