Focus Together (함께 집중해요) is a focus timer. While you concentrate, a 3D character walks — and you can be matched with another person focusing at the same time. This page explains what we collect, why, and how to remove it. In short: we collect the minimum needed to run your account, your focus records, and matching. We don't sell your personal data and we don't use advertising trackers.

An account is required

Matching you with another person needs a stable identity on our server, so there is no anonymous mode. On iPhone you sign in with Sign in with Apple.

What we collect

• From Apple: your email address. Apple lets you hide it — if you do, we receive Apple's private relay address instead of your real one, and everything works the same. We do not receive or store your name.
• Account identifiers: an internal account ID, the identifier Apple gives us for your account, and session tokens that keep you signed in.
• Your display name and handle: a nickname (auto-generated at first, changeable) and an optional public handle. People you match with see these, so don't put anything there you wouldn't want a stranger to see.
• Focus sessions: start and end time, the length you chose, elapsed time, whether you finished, and the category. We also store a "distance walked" number — this is calculated from elapsed time, not from GPS. We never read your location sensors.
• What you write: optional session topics and notes, and the names and colors of custom categories you create.
• Your character: the outfit, colors, motions, and companion you've chosen.
• Country: derived from your IP address at the country level only, so people you match with can see where you're focusing from. We don't derive your city or anything finer.
• Your time zone, so daily streaks reset at the right moment for you.
• Inventory and missions: what you own, what you bought with in-app points, and which missions you completed.
• Survey answers and marketing consent, if you give them.

Reporting and blocking

If you report someone, we store the report: the reason you picked, anything you write in the detail field, and a snapshot of that person's nickname at the time. We keep reports for up to one year, except reports that led to action, which we keep as a record of that decision. If you block someone, we store that block along with a snapshot of their nickname so you can recognize them in your block list later. If that person later deletes their account, the nickname snapshot is erased and they simply appear as an unnamed entry. You can unblock from Settings at any time.

What other people can see

• People you're matched with: your nickname, your country, your character and outfit, and the focus category you picked. They do not see your email, your notes, or your stats.
• Nobody else. There's no public feed, no follower list, and no profile page open to strangers.

Where your data lives

We use Supabase (database and authentication) and Vercel (API hosting) to run Focus Together; they process data on our behalf. The iPhone app does not include advertising networks, product analytics, or crash-reporting services. We don't sell your personal data. If we add a service provider as the product grows, we'll keep this page current. If Focus Together is acquired or its assets are transferred, your data may move to the new owner under this same policy, and we'll tell you about any material change.

Purchases

Items in the app are bought with in-app points you earn by focusing. The iPhone app does not take real-money payments, so we hold no card or billing information. If that changes, purchases will go through Apple's In-App Purchase and Apple — not us — will handle your payment details.

Keeping and deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the app. That removes your profile and disconnects your focus records from your identity, and your locally stored data — including your profile photo — is cleared from the device. Your nickname is erased from your profile and from any snapshot held in another person's block list. What does outlive deletion is a moderation record: if someone reported you, that report is kept — including the nickname you were using at the time — because otherwise deleting an account would be a way to erase a report against you. Reports are kept for up to a year, or longer if we acted on one. We keep your account data while your account is open, and may keep minimal anonymous or aggregate data indefinitely.

Children

Focus Together isn't intended for children. You must be at least 13, or older if your country requires it (for example 16 in parts of the EU). If we learn we've collected a child's data, we'll delete it.

Changes & contact

If our practices change, we'll update this page and revise the date above. Questions about your data? Reach us at hello.focusterra@gmail.com.
