Privacy Policy for Terrible Focus

1. Information We Collect and Store

1.1 Local Game Data (Stored on Your Device Only)

Terrible Focus stores all of your game progress locally on your device, including:

• Completed tasks and focus sessions
• Your clearing's visual state (built objects, world progression)
• Focus session history and durations
• Pack ownership and unlocks
• App settings and preferences

This data is stored entirely on your device. We do not have access to it, and it is never transmitted to our servers.

1.2 Anonymous Usage Analytics (Optional)

We may collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information about how you use the App to help us improve the experience. This data is fully anonymized and aggregated, and may include:

• Which features are used (e.g., which tasks are completed, session durations)
• Technical information (e.g., device model, iOS version, app version)
• Performance metrics (e.g., app crashes, loading times)

This analytics data does NOT include:

• Your name, email address, or any contact information
• Device identifiers that could be linked to you personally
• Your specific game progress or save data
• Location data

You can opt out of anonymous analytics at any time in the App settings. Even with analytics enabled, we never collect any information that could identify you as an individual.

1.3 iCloud Sync (Optional, Apple's Service)

If you enable iCloud on your device, your game progress may be automatically synced across your Apple devices using Apple's iCloud service. This sync is handled entirely by Apple, not by us. We do not have access to your iCloud data. For information about how Apple handles iCloud data, please see Apple's Privacy Policy.

1.4 Push Notifications (Optional)

If you enable push notifications in the App, we use Apple's Push Notification service to send you reminders (such as daily check-ins or focus completion celebrations). We do not collect, store, or have access to your device's notification tokens or any personal information through this service. You can disable notifications at any time in your device Settings or within the App.

1.5 In-App Purchases

If you purchase content packs within the App, these transactions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information. Apple provides us only with a receipt confirming your purchase, which we use to unlock the purchased content in the App. For information about how Apple handles purchase data, please see Apple's Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

2.1 Anonymous Analytics

If analytics are enabled, we use the anonymized data to:

• Understand which features are most valuable to users
• Identify and fix bugs and performance issues
• Make informed decisions about future content and improvements
• Ensure the App works well across different devices and iOS versions

This data is never used for advertising, sold to third parties, or linked to your identity in any way.

2.2 Your Game Data

Your personal game data (progress, completed tasks, etc.) stays on your device and is never transmitted to us. We cannot see your focus sessions, your clearing's state, or any aspect of your personal gameplay.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

3.1 No Sale of Data

We do not sell, rent, or share any of your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

3.2 Service Providers

If we use analytics services, those providers may receive anonymous, aggregated usage data as described in Section 1.2. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and do not have access to any personally identifiable information.

3.3 Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if required by law (e.g., in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or government request), to protect our rights, or to comply with an investigation relating to suspected illegal activity.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Apple Services

The App relies on Apple's services for core functionality:

• iCloud (optional sync across your devices)
• Push Notifications (optional reminders)
• In-App Purchases (purchasing content packs)

These services are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

4.2 External Links

The App may contain links to our website, support pages, or social media. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

5. Data Security

All of your game data is stored locally on your device using iOS's secure storage APIs. If you use iCloud sync, your data is encrypted and protected by Apple's security measures. Any anonymous analytics data we collect is transmitted securely and stored in an encrypted format.

6. Children's Privacy

Terrible Focus is designed to be appropriate for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If analytics are enabled, only anonymous, non-personally identifiable data is collected, which does not require parental consent under COPPA.

7. Your Rights and Choices

7.1 Analytics Opt-Out

You can disable anonymous analytics collection at any time in the App's settings. This will stop any future data collection, though previously collected anonymous data may remain in our aggregated reports.

7.2 Your Game Data is Yours

All of your game data belongs to you and is stored on your device. You can:

• Delete the App at any time to remove all local data
• Disable iCloud sync in your device Settings
• Turn off push notifications in the App settings or your device Settings
• Request a refund for in-app purchases through Apple (subject to Apple's refund policy)
