Scope
This policy explains how the iOS App handles information. It does not cover third-party websites or Apple’s own services (e.g., App Store or system analytics controlled by Apple).
Data we collect
We do not collect, store, or process personal data from users of the App on our own servers.
- No account required.
- No server-side storage; we do not run our own backend for this App.
- We do not track users across apps or websites and we do not sell or share personal data.
On-device data
Routine is built around focus blocks and weekly structure. The App may create local records on your device such as:
- Focus blocks (title, weekday, start time, end time, active/inactive state).
- Your configured weekly schedule of blocks.
- Local notification settings related to your blocks (e.g., reminders before a block starts).
This information is stored only on your device to enable core functionality and is not transmitted to us. Deleting the App removes these local records.
Notifications
The App can send local notifications to remind you of upcoming focus blocks (for example, 15 minutes before a block starts). When you first use these features, iOS will ask for permission to send notifications. You can change your choice at any time in your device settings.
- Notifications are scheduled and handled by iOS on your device.
- Notification content is based on your locally stored blocks and schedule.
- No notification data is sent to our servers, because we do not operate a push notification backend for this App.
Third-party services
The App does not integrate third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or crash reporting that sends data to us or to third parties. Apple may provide aggregated App Store metrics or optional crash logs under Apple’s privacy policies; we do not control that processing.
Permissions
The App currently requests:
- Notifications – to remind you about upcoming focus blocks that you have created.
The App does not request access to contacts, photos, location, microphone, or other sensitive device data. If future versions request additional optional permissions, they will be used solely to provide the requested feature and will remain optional.
Children’s privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under 13 (or the age defined by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, our primary safeguard is that your information remains on your device. Please keep your device secure, use a passcode or biometric lock, and keep your operating system up to date.
Data retention & deletion
We do not retain personal data on our servers. All focus blocks and schedule data are stored locally on your device. To delete on-device information, uninstall the App. If you reinstall, the App will start fresh.
International users & rights
As we do not process personal data on our servers, rights requests (access, deletion, etc.) generally do not apply. You can still contact us at appstore@gerardgonzalez.io and we’ll help with any privacy question.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the App handles data, we will update this policy and the “Effective date” above. Material changes will appear in the App and/or on our website before they take effect.
