FocusHound
Privacy Policy
FocusHound is made by 3 Step Chef LLC (“we”). This policy explains what information the app handles and why. The short version: there is no account, we do not track you for advertising, and most of what the app knows stays on your phone.
What we do not collect
FocusHound has no sign-up and no login. We do not collect your email address, contacts, or location. The app contains no advertising, and we do not sell personal information or share it with advertisers.
Analytics
We use in-app analytics to understand how FocusHound is used and to make it better. This is product analytics, not advertising: it is not used to advertise to you, and it is not shared with advertisers or ad networks.
What we collect: which screens and features you use; the answers you give during onboarding and in Settings; the description of your business that you type in; and the tasks you set. It is tied to a random identifier generated by the app on your device, together with basic device information (such as model, operating system version, and app version). It is never tied to your name or email address, and we do not use it to identify you across other apps or websites. Analytics data is kept for up to 12 months.
What analytics never includes: your name, and the notes you write after a task. We do not currently record your screen; if that ever changes, this policy will say so first.
Information that stays on your device
Your settings and your history in the app are stored on your device and are deleted when you delete the app; the copy described under Analytics is what remains with us. The apps you choose to limit are handled by Apple’s Screen Time framework on your device. We never receive that list, and it never leaves your phone.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions are billed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. To show the subscription screen and confirm your subscription status, the app uses a subscription-management service, which receives an anonymous app-generated identifier, basic device information (such as model, operating system version, language, and time zone), your purchase status, and, so the subscription screen can speak to your situation, the first name you enter and your onboarding answers. It receives none of the other content described above: not your business description, your tasks, or your notes.
Children
FocusHound is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to object to how it is used, including analytics data. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device. For anything else, including analytics data, email hello@focushound.app and we will respond. Where the law asks for a legal basis, we rely on performing our contract with you and on our legitimate interest in improving and running a secure service.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
