Privacy Policy for PomoGhost App
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with your use of the PomoGhost mobile application.
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
PomoGhost is built with your privacy as a fundamental principle. We believe that a productivity app designed to help you focus should also respect your personal space and digital privacy. Therefore, we want to be absolutely clear about what data is collected and how it is used.
1. Data Collection and Usage
Local Data Storage
All your productivity data (timer sessions, work patterns, break durations, achievements, and streaks) is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of this personal productivity information to our servers.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number.
- Local Storage Only: Your timer settings, session history, achievements, and streaks are stored only on your device using AsyncStorage. This data never leaves your device.
- No Account Required: The app does not require account creation or login, ensuring your privacy.
2. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
PomoGhost uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and process certain information for advertising purposes:
- Device Information: AdMob may collect information about your device, such as device model, operating system, and unique advertising identifiers.
- Usage Data: AdMob may track ad interactions and app usage patterns to serve personalized advertisements.
- IP Address: Your IP address may be collected to determine your general location for regional ad targeting.

3. Permissions Used by the App
PomoGhost requires minimal permissions to function:
- Notifications: To alert you when timer sessions are complete. This operates entirely locally on your device.
- Audio: To play completion sounds and ambient background music. All audio is stored locally and processed on your device.
We do not access your camera, location, contacts, photos, or any other sensitive data on your device.
4. Data Security
All your productivity data (sessions, achievements, settings) is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to external servers. We do not have access to this data. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data will be permanently deleted.
5. Children's Privacy
PomoGhost does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The app is suitable for all ages and can be safely used by students and young learners. However, please note that Google AdMob has its own policies regarding children's data.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
7. Your Focus, Your Privacy
PomoGhost is designed to be a productivity tool that respects your privacy. Your focus sessions, achievements, and personal productivity data remain completely private and are stored only on your device. We will never access, monitor, record, or analyze your personal productivity information.
