Cognify – Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing to use our application ("App"). We have built this app from the ground up to respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information handling practices we use.

The core principle of this App is simple:
What happens on your device stays on your device.

2. Data Collection and Storage

We do not collect, transmit, distribute, or sell your personal data.

Local Storage Only:
All tasks, notes, profile information, and focus tracking data you enter are stored locally on your device's internal storage. We do not host your data on external cloud servers and we do not have backend access to read your personal information.

No Account Required:
The App does not require account creation, email sign-ups, or social media logins.

3. Permissions Addressed

Storage Permission:
Used only to allow you to generate encrypted backup files and restore those files if you choose to import them. Local storage is also used to ensure your tasks and notes persist between app launches.

Haptics / Vibration:
Your device’s vibration hardware may be used to provide tactile feedback and notifications during Pomodoro sessions or task completion.

4. Third-Party Services

The App operates independently and does not utilize third-party analytics trackers, crash reporting tools, or advertising networks that collect user data.

The App relies entirely on the local resources of the device.

5. Encryption and Security

Any optional backup file you manually export from the application is structurally sanitized and secured. However, because all data resides locally on your device, the primary security of the app depends on your device’s own security features such as lock screens, PIN protection, or biometric authentication.

6. Children's Privacy

This service is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Since the app stores information only locally, no data from minors is transmitted to us.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Users are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Any updates will be posted on this page and become effective immediately once published.
