Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how MicroCache d.o.o. ("MicroCache", "we", "our", or "us") handles information in connection with the Focus Timer mobile application (the "App"). If you have questions, contact us at support@microcache.io.
1. Information stored in the App
The App may store the following information locally on your device:
- Projects, project names, colors, and archived status.
- Tasks, task titles, and task completion status.
- Timer sessions, including start time, end time, duration, mode, break or focus type, project, task, and notes.
- Settings such as focus length, break length, day reset time, goals, notification preferences, haptics, sound, appearance, and onboarding status.
- Backup files if you choose to export or import them.
This local App data is not sent to MicroCache servers as part of the core timer functionality.
2. Information processed by third-party services
The App uses third-party services to support purchases, analytics, app distribution, and platform functionality. These services may process limited technical information according to their own terms and privacy practices.
Purchases and subscriptions
Purchases are handled by Apple App Store or Google Play and may be managed through RevenueCat. We do not receive your full payment card details. We may receive or access purchase-related information such as product identifier, entitlement status, purchase status, store, app user identifier, and subscription status so the App can unlock Pro features and restore purchases.
Analytics
If Firebase Analytics is configured for the App, limited usage and technical events may be processed, such as app opens, paywall views, timer start/completion events, purchase flow events, device type, operating system, app version, approximate region, and app instance identifiers. We use this information to understand App reliability, feature usage, and purchase flow performance. We do not use analytics for advertising tracking.
Device permissions
The App may ask for notification permission so it can notify you when a timer or break ends. The App may also use document picker and sharing features when you choose to export or import backup files. The App does not require access to your contacts, precise location, microphone, camera, or photo library for its core functionality.
3. How we use information
We use information only for the following purposes:
- To provide timer, project, task, goal, history, backup, and Pro features.
- To process, validate, and restore in-app purchases.
- To improve App stability, usability, and feature decisions.
- To respond to support requests.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.
4. Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the App and Pro features you request.
- Legitimate interests: to keep the App secure, understand basic usage, prevent abuse, and improve the product.
- Consent: where required for optional permissions or analytics controls.
- Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with law.
5. Sharing information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Apple and Google for app distribution, payments, subscriptions, refunds, and store operation.
- RevenueCat for purchase validation, entitlement management, and subscription restoration.
- Google Firebase for analytics or technical diagnostics if configured.
- Service providers that help us operate or support the App.
- Authorities, courts, or other parties where required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.
- A successor organization if MicroCache is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
6. Exported data and backups
If you export a backup or CSV file, you control where that file is saved or shared. Exported files may contain your projects, tasks, session history, notes, goals, and settings. You are responsible for protecting exported files and choosing trusted storage or sharing destinations.
7. Retention and deletion
Local App data remains on your device until you delete it, clear history, import a replacement backup, uninstall the App, or your operating system removes it. Purchase and analytics information may be retained by Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Firebase, or MicroCache for as long as needed for the purposes described above, including legal, accounting, security, and support purposes.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No app, device, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your device, backups, store account, and device passcode secure.
9. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
10. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, or to children under the minimum age required by local law to use digital services without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
11. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To make a request, email support@microcache.io. We may need to verify your request before responding. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new effective date. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
