1. Scope and controller
This policy applies to the iOS and iPadOS app Focus Farm (bundle identifier com.fuyao.deskpet) and this privacy-policy website. The developer of Focus Farm ("we," "us," or "our") is responsible for explaining how the app processes data.
This policy does not govern services operated by Apple, including the App Store, iCloud, notifications, or Screen Time. Apple processes data for those services under its own terms and privacy policy.
2. Data we process
To provide timers, statistics, and the farm experience, the app processes the following data on your device:
| Category | Examples | Purpose and default location |
|---|---|---|
| Focus data | Start time, duration, Pomodoro or stopwatch mode, tag, and sunlight earned | Creates session history and statistics; stored locally by default |
| Farm data | Sunlight, grain, plots, crop types, growth progress, and harvest count | Maintains game progress; stored locally by default |
| Settings and state | Focus mode, timer settings, sound, reminder time, and active-session state | Remembers settings and restores timers; stored locally by default |
| Allowlist selection | Opaque app tokens supplied by iOS | Restricts other apps in Allowlist Mode; stored locally and in the app group container |
| Purchase data | Anonymous purchase identifier, product, transaction status, and subscription expiration | Processed by Apple and RevenueCat to complete and restore purchases and confirm Pro access |
| Content you choose to provide | Text entered in the feedback composer | Sent only after you select a recipient in the system share sheet and confirm sending |
The current app requires no account and includes no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, or crash-reporting SDK. Focus and farm data is not uploaded to a developer-operated application server. The app uses RevenueCat to manage purchase status. RevenueCat receives an anonymous purchase identifier and transaction and subscription status returned by Apple, but does not receive your card number or full payment details.
3. System permissions and features
Notifications
With your permission, the app may notify you when a focus session ends, at stopwatch intervals, when Scholar Mode needs you to return, or at a daily reminder time you select. These notifications are scheduled through iOS. You can change or disable them in Settings > Notifications > Focus Farm.
Screen Time / Family Controls
The app requests this permission only when you choose Allowlist Mode. iOS gives the app opaque application tokens used to shield apps that are not allowed during focus. Those tokens do not reveal the identity of the apps you selected to us, and we do not read or upload your app-usage history. Scholar Mode only uses the time at which Focus Farm enters the background to determine whether you have been away for more than 10 seconds.
Live Activities
When enabled, remaining focus time may appear on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. iOS presents this information on your device; enabling it does not send the content to our server.
Screen awake, sound, and haptics
These features only keep the display awake during focus or play feedback on the device. They do not read other content from your device.
4. Optional iCloud sync
iCloud sync is off by default. If you turn it on, the app stores a synchronized copy of focus records, balances, tags, and farm progress using Apple's iCloud Key-Value Store so the data can stay in sync across your Apple devices. The data is associated with the Apple Account signed in on your device and is transmitted and stored by Apple. We do not operate a separate account backend and cannot view your iCloud content.
Turning sync off stops future synchronization but may not automatically remove a copy already stored in iCloud. You can manage related data through iCloud storage settings on your Apple device.
6. Storage and retention
Local data remains in the app sandbox until you remove the app or otherwise clear the relevant data. Uninstalling the app normally removes the unsynchronized local database and preferences. Any iCloud copy is handled according to your iCloud settings and Apple's retention practices. Purchase records and entitlement status are retained under Apple and RevenueCat transaction, accounting, and legal requirements.
When you visit this policy website, the web server may create standard technical logs containing an IP address, access time, requested path, and browser type for security and troubleshooting. These logs are rotated under normal server-operations practices and are not used for advertising or profiling.
7. Your choices and rights
- Access: View local data in the session history, statistics, and farm screens.
- Correction: Change settings, reminders, tags, and focus modes in the app.
- Permissions: Manage notifications, Screen Time, and Live Activities through iOS settings.
- Stop syncing: Turn off iCloud data sync in the app's settings.
- Manage purchases: Cancel auto-renewal in your Apple Account subscription settings or restore an existing purchase in the app.
- Deletion: Remove local app data by deleting the app; manage cloud copies through iCloud storage settings.
- Questions or complaints: Contact us using the email address below.
Depending on where you live, applicable law may grant additional rights concerning personal data. Contact us to exercise a right that is not available directly through the app or operating system.
8. Children
Focus Farm is a general-purpose time-management tool and is not designed to collect children's personal information. No account is required, and usage data is not transmitted to us by default. Children should use features involving system permissions or iCloud sync with guidance from a parent or guardian.
9. Security
The app relies on the iOS sandbox, app-group access controls, and Apple's iCloud security features, and follows a least-privilege approach. No storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Please contact us if you discover a security issue affecting your data.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when features, data practices, or applicable requirements change. We will show the new effective date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide an in-app notice or another appropriate form of notice.
