Bear Focus Timer Privacy Policy
Bear Focus Timer for Android does not require account creation and does not send your timer records or settings to our servers.
1. Data stored on your device
- Focus, short-break, long-break, and session settings
- Current timer snapshot needed to restore an interrupted session or break
- Focus statistics, streaks, saved topic titles, and collected praise cards
This information is stored locally on your device. Android cloud backup is disabled for Bear Focus Timer, so the app does not copy this data to Google backup through Android Auto Backup.
2. Permissions and on-device features
- Notifications: used to notify you when a break ends.
- Vibration and flashlight: used only if you enable vibration or flash alerts.
- Motion and proximity sensors: used only for the face-down focus start and stop behavior.
- Photos and media library: used only when you explicitly save a praise card image.
3. Data sharing
Bear Focus Timer does not sell, share, or transmit your personal data to third parties. The Android app currently ships without analytics, crash reporting, advertising, account, or cloud-sync SDKs.
4. Saved praise cards
If you save a praise card, the exported image is written to your device's Photos or Pictures library only because you requested that export.
5. Retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device until you delete it in the app, uninstall the app, or manually remove exported images from your photo library.
6. Contact
For privacy questions, contact bearfocustimer@gmail.com.
7. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when Bear Focus Timer's features, SDKs, or data practices change. The effective date above will be updated when changes are published.
