• ✓ Offers customization with themes and wallpapers.

Data We Don't Collect

Phocus respects your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Everything stays on your device. This includes:

Optional Analytics

Phocus includes optional, anonymous analytics to help us improve the app. This feature is:

• ✓ Completely Optional: You can opt-out at any time in settings.
• ✓ Anonymous: No personal identifiers are collected.
• ✓ Limited Scope: We only track basic usage patterns (like feature usage frequency) and crash reports to fix bugs.

Third-Party Services

Phocus integrates with external services for enhanced functionality. These services have their own privacy policies:

• Weather Data: From Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no) to display weather information.
• News Content: From NewsData.io to display news articles.
• Wallpapers: From the Phocus wallpaper service for custom wallpapers.

Data Management & Deletion

Since all data is stored locally, you have complete control. To permanently delete all app data, go to your phone's Android Settings → Apps → Phocus → Storage → Clear Data.

Data Sharing

We don't share your data. Period. No data is sold to third parties, no personal information is shared with advertisers, and no user profiles are created or maintained.

Security

Your data security is ensured as all personal data stays on your device, no account is required, and we request only the minimal permissions necessary for the app to function.

Children's Privacy

Phocus does not knowingly collect any data from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data at all, the app is safe for all ages. Parents can disable optional analytics in settings for added peace of mind.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy. Any changes will be posted in the app and on our website. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
