Privacy Policy

Version 1.0

Effective: 13 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information and personal data are handled in the Uplift Focus mobile application (the "App").

This Privacy Policy applies strictly to your use of the Uplift Focus mobile app. It does not govern visits to our website. For information about data handling when browsing our website, please see our separate Website Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

2. Local-First Use

Uplift Focus is built with a local-first design. The app can be used in local-only mode without creating an Uplift Focus account, subject to the feature limits that apply to the user's current Free, trial, or Premium access.

When used locally, your data remains stored on your device, including:

• Profiles
• Routines and tasks
• Progress and earned medals
• App preferences and settings

We do not build advertising profiles or track your activity across unrelated apps.

3. Account and Cloud Sync

Cloud Sync is an optional account-based feature linked to applicable Premium or trial functionality. When a user creates an account and enables cloud features, the following data may be processed and synchronized via our cloud infrastructure:

• Account email address
• Firebase UID (technical account identifier)
• Account and email verification status
• Profile names
• Routines and task configurations
• Progress data and earned medals
• Shared app settings
• User-selected or resized profile/task images and thumbnails
• Parental-consent record (consent version, date/time, and source/context)

Before new or continued Cloud Sync processing of data relating to minors is permitted where parental consent is required, Uplift Focus requires a separate parental-consent confirmation. The person providing that confirmation states that they are at least 18 years old and are a parent, legal guardian, or otherwise authorized to consent for minors who use the account. We keep a limited technical record of that confirmation, including the consent version, date and time, and source/context. This record is used solely to establish and manage the required consent status for Cloud Sync.

4. Children and Family Data

Uplift Focus is designed for family use. Adults may manage their own Uplift Focus account. When the service is used for a minor, a parent, legal guardian, or other adult who is authorized to act on behalf of the minor is responsible for managing the account and deciding what information about the child is entered.

Profiles created in the app may include children's names and parent-selected images. We handle this information strictly under these rules:

• Data is used solely to deliver core app functionality and Cloud Sync as configured by the parent or user.
• Where parental consent is required, new or continued Cloud Sync uploads of data relating to minors are blocked until the required parental-consent step has been completed.
• We do not use children's data for advertising, commercial profiling, or marketing.
• We do not independently solicit or require children to create an account or provide an email address.

5. Services and Processors

We work with reliable technical service providers to deliver the app's functionality:

Firebase / Google

• Firebase Authentication: user identity management and login.
• Cloud Firestore: secure cloud storage for synced family routines and profiles.
• Cloud Functions: backend tasks, including account deletion processing.
• Firebase App Check / Google Play Integrity: app attestation, security, and abuse prevention.

RevenueCat

• Subscription and entitlement status management.
• Uses your Firebase UID as a pseudonymous technical App User ID.
• Processes Google Play purchase and subscription transaction receipts.
• Does NOT receive children's names, routines, or tasks from our app database.

Google Play

• App distribution, updates, and in-app purchase billing.
• Google processes payment and financial details in accordance with its own terms and privacy policies. Uplift Focus never receives or stores your credit card or bank details.

6. No Analytics or Advertising

We believe in focused, calm productivity without surveillance:

• No Google Analytics is included in the app.
• No Firebase Analytics SDK is included in the app.
• No advertising SDKs are present.
• No advertising identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID) are collected or used by our app code.
• No third-party crash analytics services (such as Firebase Crashlytics or Sentry) are currently used.

Note: Like all Android applications distributed through Google Play, standard low-level platform telemetry or operating system diagnostics may be processed by Google in accordance with your Android device settings and Google's terms.

7. Biometric Authentication

The app offers an optional biometric lock (such as fingerprint or facial recognition) to protect access to Parent View. Biometric authentication is performed entirely on your device by the Android operating system. Uplift Focus does not receive, access, or store biometric data or images; the app receives only the technical confirmation of success or failure from the Android system API.

8. Purposes and Legal Bases

Under the GDPR, we process personal data based on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Providing requested app features, Cloud Sync functionality, and subscription entitlement management.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Protecting app security, preventing fraud, maintaining service integrity, and ensuring system reliability.
• Legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Complying with applicable statutory accounting, tax, or consumer protection requirements where mandatory.

Acceptance of the Terms of Service and acknowledgement of this Privacy Policy are handled separately through the app's legal acceptance flow. The parental-consent confirmation used for Cloud Sync is a separate confirmation and is not consent for advertising, marketing, or tracking.

9. Data Retention

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary:

• Local device data: Remains stored on your device until you manually clear it, perform a Device Unlink, clear the app's storage via Android system settings, or uninstall the app.
• Cloud data: Synced cloud data remains stored for as long as your Uplift Focus account remains active, or until you initiate account deletion.
• Technical processing time: Deletion routines across external processors (such as cloud backend functions) require a reasonable processing period to complete across all backup and operational layers.
• Statutory requirements: Minimal transactional or administrative logs may be retained only where strictly mandated by applicable law.

10. Account Deletion

You have full control over your account and data:

• In-app deletion: Open the Account screen in the app and choose 'Delete account'.
• External request: You can also request deletion through our web page at /delete-account/.
• What is removed: Deletion removes your Firebase account record and all associated cloud-synced data (profiles, routines, progress, settings, and cloud images). As part of account deletion, Uplift Focus initiates a backend deletion request for the associated RevenueCat customer/entitlement record. Processing may require additional time.
• Subscriptions: Deleting your Uplift Focus account does not automatically cancel an active Google Play subscription; subscriptions must be managed or cancelled separately through Google Play.
• Local data retention: Account deletion intentionally does not delete your local on-device routines and profiles, allowing you to continue using the app in local-only mode. If you also wish to wipe local data from your device, you can use Device Unlink, clear app storage, or uninstall the app.

11. Security

While no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information. These include secure Firebase authentication, strict database security rules, and encrypted network communications (HTTPS/TLS) provided by the underlying platforms.

12. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process data using international infrastructure. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, the relevant provider uses applicable legal safeguards for international transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognized transfer mechanisms where applicable.

13. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request rectification of inaccurate data
• Request erasure of your data
• Request restriction of processing or object to processing
• Data portability where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@upliftfocus.com.

14. Policy Changes

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When significant updates occur, we will provide notice through an updated effective date on this page, and may prompt you in the app to review and acknowledge the updated policy.
