Privacy Policy — Focus Launcher

Effective date: November 7, 2026

This policy explains how Focus Launcher, listed on Google Play as “Focus Launcher – Digital Detox” (package launcher.focus.minimal), developed by FightTech VN, handles information when you use the app. Contact: contact@fighttech.vn.

Summary

• No account. You never sign up or log in.
• Your app list, contacts, calendar, photos and settings stay on your phone.
• The free version shows ads (never on your home screen); Pro removes them. We never sell your data.
• We use Google Firebase for usage statistics and crash reports, and Google Play for purchases.

Data processed by third-party services

• Firebase Analytics (Google): usage events such as screens opened and features used, an app-instance ID, and basic device and app information.
• Firebase Crashlytics (Google): crash logs, device model, OS version and app version, used only to find and fix bugs.
• Google Play Billing: if you buy Pro, we receive the purchase status so we can unlock it. Payment is handled entirely by Google; we never see your card or payment details.
• Weather (Open-Meteo): the city name you type for the weather widget is sent to Open-Meteo (geocoding-api.open-meteo.com, api.open-meteo.com) to get the forecast. Open-Meteo can see your IP address, as with any web request. The app does not use GPS or your device location.
• Google AdMob (ads): the free version shows banner, full-screen and optional rewarded ads in Settings and the widget gallery, never on your home screen. To serve and measure ads and prevent fraud, the ad networks may collect your Advertising ID, IP address (used to estimate an approximate location), device and app information and your interactions with ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland) we ask for your consent first with Google's consent form, and ads are personalised only if you allow it. See how Google uses data from partner apps.
• Ad settings (FightTech API): on start the app asks our server which ad formats are turned on for this app. The request carries only the app's package name; no personal data is sent.

Data that stays on your device

• Installed apps: Focus Launcher reads the list of apps installed on your device only to show their icons and names on your home screen, in search and in the app list. This list is never uploaded.
• Layout and settings: your widgets, theme and other choices are stored only on your device.
• Wallpaper photo: a photo you pick stays on your device and is never uploaded.

Permissions

• Contacts (READ_CONTACTS, optional): asked only if you turn on contact results in Search. Contacts are searched on your device and never uploaded.
• Calendar (READ_CALENDAR, optional): shows your upcoming events in Search and the calendar widget. Events are read on your device and never uploaded.
• Notification access (optional, you turn it on in Android settings): used only to show unread badges on app icons and the song now playing in the media widget. The app does not read, store or upload the content of your notifications.
• Modify system settings (WRITE_SETTINGS): used only by quick toggles, such as changing brightness.
• Expand status bar (EXPAND_STATUS_BAR): used only to open the notification shade from the home screen.
• Usage access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, optional, you turn it on in Android settings): used only by the Screen Time widget to show how long you used apps today. This data stays on your device.
• Nearby devices (BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, optional): shows the battery level of your connected Bluetooth devices in the battery widget. Nothing is uploaded.
• Biometrics (USE_BIOMETRIC): lets you lock apps or settings with your fingerprint or face (Pro). The check is done by Android; the app never receives your biometric data.
• Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): keeps the clock and other widgets up to date after you restart your phone.
• Internet and Advertising ID (AD_ID): used for weather, analytics, crash reports, ads and purchases as described above.

The app does not use an accessibility service, does not draw over other apps and does not access your location, camera or microphone.

Ads and no data selling

Ads appear only in the free version, in Settings and the widget gallery, never on your home screen, and never for Pro users. Google AdMob process the data described above to serve those ads. We do not sell or rent your personal data.

Retention and deletion

Data stored on your device is removed when you uninstall Focus Launcher or clear its storage. Analytics and crash data are kept for Firebase's default retention period and then deleted automatically. Data collected by the ad networks is handled under their own retention policies. You can ask us to delete analytics data at any time: see Delete your data — Focus Launcher or email contact@fighttech.vn.

Security

Data sent to Firebase, Google Play, the ad networks, Open-Meteo and our server is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

Children

Focus Launcher is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page and update the effective date.
