Focus Four Pro Privacy Policy
Effective date: 13 November 2026
App: Focus Four Pro for iPhone and Android (com.vericodestudio.focusfourpro)
Who we are: VeriCode, an independent software studio operated by its proprietor in India ("we", "us")
Privacy contact: [email protected]
This policy covers Focus Four Pro only. The free Focus Four app has its own privacy policy.
1. The short version
- Your planner stays on your device, except tracks you choose to share. Tasks, tracks, updates, history and settings are stored on your device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else unless you export them yourself or you share a track. A shared track, with its tasks and updates, is stored on our service provider, Supabase, and is visible to the people you share it with.
- An account is optional. Every feature works without one except sharing. If you create one, Supabase holds your account details. An account does not back up or sync your private tasks. Only tracks you share are stored there.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking. The app has no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting service. We do not sell your data.
- You can delete everything. Delete your account in the app, and delete your planner data with one action in Settings.
2. Data stored only on your device
We cannot see this data. It stays in a private database on your device. The only exception is a track you share, described in section 3A.
| Data | Why the app keeps it |
|---|---|
| Tasks: titles, priority, status, subtasks, carry setting, dates and carry count | To show your board and History |
| Tracks and updates: track names, the track a task belongs to, which task another follows from, and the dated updates you write | To show each track and its Flow timeline |
| Waiting items: what a task is waiting for and its check-back date | To show the Waiting list and bring a task back to Today |
| A log of task changes, with times and your planning time zone | To power History, Insights and Undo |
| Preferences and reminder settings | To apply your choices |
| Your device's time zone | To decide which day a task belongs to |
| Unsaved drafts, and whether you finished the introduction | To restore a draft and skip the introduction next time |
| On iPhone, a copy of up to eight of today's open task titles, today's counts, your theme and any widget ticks not yet saved | To let the Today widget work. Only the app and its widget can read this copy |
Task text is whatever you type, so please do not enter anything you would not want stored on your device. The app creates random identifiers for tasks and events inside the database. They are not linked to you or your device.
The planner does not use your contacts, location, calendar, camera or microphone, and the app does not use an advertising ID.
3. Data collected if you create an account
You only give us this data if you choose to create an account. Accounts are provided by Supabase, Inc. ("Supabase"), which stores the data for us as our service provider.
| Data | How it is collected | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | You enter it, or Apple or Google shares it when you sign in with them | To create your account, sign you in and confirm it is you |
| Password, if you set one | You enter it in the app. Supabase stores only a hashed form. We never see it | To sign you in |
| Name and username, if you add them | You enter them, or Apple or Google shares your name | To show your profile in the app |
| Profile picture, if you add one | Apple or Google may share a picture when you sign in with them. The app does not upload pictures | To show on your profile |
| Apple or Google sign-in details, if you use them | Apple or Google shares an account identifier and the details above. If you use Apple's Hide My Email, we receive a relay address instead | To link your sign-in to your account |
| Verification codes | Supabase sends them to your email address | To confirm your address and protect sign-in |
| Account and session identifiers | Created by Supabase. A sign-in token is kept in your device's secure storage (iOS Keychain or Android Keystore) | To keep you signed in until you sign out |
| Technical data: IP address, device and app information, sign-in times | Collected automatically by Supabase when you use your account | To keep accounts secure and prevent fraud |
Signing in does not send your tasks anywhere. Your private tasks, tracks, history and settings are never sent to Supabase or to us. An account does not back up or sync your planner.
3A. Shared tracks
If you share a track, the following is stored on Supabase and is visible to every member of that track:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| The track name and its members' display names (the name on each account) | To show who is in the track |
| Each task in the track: title, priority, status, subtasks, waiting details, dates, who it is assigned to, and who completed it and when | To show the same tasks to every member |
| Updates written in the track and their authors | To show the track's timeline |
| Invite codes. A code expires after 7 days | To let someone join |
Members see each other's display names, not email addresses. Anyone in a shared track can see and change its tasks and updates, so share a track only with people you trust. Tasks outside shared tracks, and anything you have not shared, are not sent. A track holds up to 20 people.
If you leave a track, are removed, or the owner stops sharing, you keep a private copy on your device and the shared copy stops syncing to you. If the owner stops sharing, the shared copy is deleted from the server. When you delete your account, your membership is removed. If you own a track, ownership passes to the longest-standing member, or the track is deleted if no one else is in it. Content you wrote in a track others still share may remain visible to them.
4. How we use your data
We use account data only to provide your account, keep it secure and answer your support requests. We use anything you email us only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it for advertising, use it to track you across other apps or websites, build profiles about you, or use it to train AI.
5. Who receives your data
| Recipient | What it receives | Its role |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase, Inc. | The account data in section 3 and shared-track content in section 3A | Our service provider. It handles this data on our instructions, and only to provide the account service |
| Apple or Google, only if you sign in with them | The fact that you are signing in to this app | Your sign-in provider, under its own privacy policy |
| Google (Gmail), only if you email us | Your message and email address | Our email provider |
| Cloudflare, only if you open our web pages | Your IP address, browser details, the page requested and the time | Our website host. See the VeriCode website privacy policy |
Supabase is the only company that receives data from the app itself. Supabase may use this data only to provide its service to us, and it is contractually bound to protect it. Any service provider that handles your data for us must give it the same or equal protection as this policy. We may disclose data if the law requires it. Because your planner is not on our servers, we have no planner data to disclose.
Stores. Apple and Google sell the app and take your payment under their own terms. We do not receive your card or billing details. They give us sales reports, and may give us diagnostics that you agreed to share with them. The app has no in-app purchases.
Files you export. The app does not send your private planner anywhere by itself. If you tap Export backup, the app makes a JSON file and opens your device's share sheet. Whichever app or service you choose receives the whole file and handles it under its own terms. Backup files are not encrypted. We have no access to them.
6. Permissions and device features
- Internet. The planner works offline. The app uses the internet only for account features, for syncing tracks you share, and for opening web pages such as this policy.
- Notifications. Reminders are off until you turn them on, and the system asks your permission then. They are created and delivered on your device, not by a server. Reminder text includes task or track names only if you choose that.
- Vibration. Used for optional completion haptics. You can turn it off in Settings.
- Files. Export and restore use your device's share sheet and file picker, and touch only the file you choose.
- Today widget (iPhone). The widget always shows today's open task titles. If you place it on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, anyone who can see your screen can read them. Remove the widget if you do not want that.
- Home-screen shortcuts. Long-pressing the app icon offers shortcuts that open a screen in the app. They store nothing.
Android automatic cloud backup is turned off for this app. On iPhone, the app excludes its database and the widget's data from iCloud and computer backups. These settings do not affect backup files you export yourself.
7. Security
Account data is sent over encrypted connections. Your planner is protected by the app sandbox and by your device's lock and encryption settings. The app does not add its own encryption or app lock, so anyone who can unlock your device and open the app can see your tasks. Keep exported backup files safe, as you would any personal document. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Delete your account
You can delete your Focus Four Pro account at any time, without contacting us.
In the app
- Open Focus Four Pro and go to Settings.
- Tap your name or email address at the top of the screen.
- Tap Delete account and confirm.
By email
If you cannot use the app, email [email protected] from the address on your account and ask us to delete it. We aim to finish within 30 days.
What is deleted: your account and everything in section 3, and your membership in shared tracks (see section 3A): email address, password, name, username, profile picture, linked Apple or Google sign-in and identifiers. Deletion is permanent.
What is kept: Supabase may keep limited records in its security logs and backups for a short period, or for longer if the law requires it. If you emailed us, we keep that correspondence as described in section 9.
What deleting your account does not do: it does not delete tasks on your device or backup files you exported, and it does not cancel or refund your purchase of the app, which stays yours through the store.
If you signed in with Apple or Google, you can also remove the connection under Settings > your account > Manage account, or in your Apple or Google account settings.
9. How long we keep data, and your other deletion options
- Account data: kept until you delete your account. Uninstalling the app does not delete your account, so delete it first if you want it gone.
- Planner data: kept on your device until you delete it. We hold no copy of private data. Shared tracks are kept on Supabase until the owner stops sharing or deletes them, or until everyone has left.
- Delete all data: in Settings, this removes all tasks, tracks, updates, history, drafts and settings from your device. Archiving a task keeps it in History, so it is not the same as deleting it.
- Uninstalling: removes the app's data from your device, including the widget's copy on iPhone.
- Exported files: you must delete these yourself, wherever you saved or sent them.
- Support email: kept for one year, unless the law requires longer.
10. Your choices and rights
You can use the whole app without giving us any data. If you have an account, you can view and change your details under Settings > your account > Manage account. You can withdraw your agreement to our handling of your account data at any time by deleting your account (section 8). You can turn off reminders in Settings or in your device's settings.
Depending on where you live, the law may give you rights over your personal data, such as access, correction, deletion, portability or objection, and the right to complain to a regulator. To use a right, email the privacy contact. Requests about your account or shared tracks come to us, not to Supabase. We will reply as the law requires. We cannot access private planner data on your device, but you can export or delete it yourself at any time.
11. Children
Focus Four Pro is a general-audience planner for people aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, email the privacy contact and we will delete it.
12. International transfers
We operate from India. Supabase and our other providers may process data in other countries, including the United States. Your private planner stays on your device unless you export it. Shared tracks are processed by Supabase.
13. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date, and give any further notice the law requires. If we ever change how the app handles your data, we will update this policy first.
14. Contact
