DRAFT. This text is written to match what the service really does, but have a lawyer review it against the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and Google Play's requirements before you publish it.
Focus Mode ("we", "us") runs the Focus Mode mobile app and this website. For the personal data described here, we decide why and how it is used (in India's law, the "data fiduciary"). Address: Registered address. Contact: support@greenmindai.in.
Focus Mode helps a person stay off their phone (Strict Mode, timers) and lets a parent see how their own child uses a phone and set limits. Using the app on your own phone does not require an account. A parent account is needed for family features and Pro.
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email address, hashed password | You create an account | To run your account, confirm your email, sign you in, and contact you about the service |
| Email codes (stored hashed, expire in 10 minutes) | Verifying email, resetting a password | Security of your account |
| Child's name and year of birth, and the parent's consent | A parent adds a child | To set up the child's profile and record that the parent consented |
| Names of apps used and for how long, by hour; names of installed apps; when each app was last used | The child's phone is connected to a parent | To show the parent screen time and apply the limits and schedules the parent chose |
| Battery level, which app is open now, whether Strict Mode is on, whether monitoring is switched on, last time the phone connected | The child's phone is connected | Live status for the parent, and to warn the parent if monitoring is turned off |
| Focus sessions (start, length, whether they ended early) and the rules a parent sets | Family features | To run the service and show history |
| A device token (stored hashed) and, once notifications are added, a push notification token | A phone is connected | To recognise the phone and send alerts |
| Plan, amount, invoice number, payment reference, billing events | You buy Pro on our website | To provide your plan, issue GST invoices and keep accounting records. Card, UPI and bank details are handled by our payment provider and never reach us. |
| IP address and time of security events (sign in, password change, admin actions); technical logs | You use the website or the app | To keep accounts safe, stop abuse and investigate problems |
| A session cookie and a security cookie | You sign in on the website | To keep you signed in and protect forms. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. |
The content of messages, calls or call history, photos, contacts, passwords you type in other apps, what you type, what is on the screen, web pages visited, or your location. The app does not record the screen or the microphone.
You can add a child only if you are their parent or legal guardian. A child's data is collected only after you confirm that you are the parent or guardian and consent on their behalf. We do not knowingly collect data about a child from anyone else. Monitoring is never hidden: the child's phone always shows a notice while it is on, and the child is told what the parent can see. We do not use children's data for advertising, profiling, tracking or behavioural monitoring for any purpose other than the parent controls they asked for, and we do not sell it.
A parent can see, correct and delete a child's data at any time by removing the child in the app, which deletes the child's profile, usage history, rules and sessions.
We do not sell personal data and we do not show ads. We use these kinds of service providers, only to run the service: server hosting, email delivery, payment processing (Razorpay), bot protection on website forms (Cloudflare Turnstile) and, when notifications are switched on, Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging. They process data on our instructions. We may also disclose data when the law requires it.
You may ask to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to withdraw consent, and to nominate someone to act for you if you die or cannot act. Parents can exercise these rights for their child. Deleting your account and all your data takes one step: see how to delete your account. For anything else write to support@greenmindai.in; we aim to answer within 30 days. Withdrawing consent for data the service needs to work means we can no longer provide that part of the service.
Grievance officer: Grievance Officer, . If you are not satisfied with our answer you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS), passwords are stored using a strong one-way hash, access to each family's data is limited to that family, and staff actions on the admin site are logged. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affecting your data occurs we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
Our servers are located in India. Some service providers may process data outside India.
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
