Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Focus Intervals collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. Our goal is to be transparent about the information we gather and how we use it to improve your experience with our timeboxing and productivity services.

Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to provide and enhance our services for freelancers in Bishan and beyond. When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and optional profile information such as your profession and timezone. This helps us personalize your experience and send relevant updates.

We also collect usage data automatically when you interact with our website. This includes information about which features you use, how long you spend on different pages, and your session duration. We use cookies and similar technologies to track this information, which helps us understand user behavior and improve our platform.

If you contact us directly, we collect the content of your messages, including your contact information and any feedback you provide. This allows us to respond to your inquiries and improve our customer support.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to deliver, maintain, and improve our services. Your personal data helps us create personalized timer experiences, send you relevant productivity tips, and notify you about updates or features that match your needs.

We analyze usage data in aggregate form to understand how our platform is used, identify popular features, and optimize performance. This analysis helps us make our timeboxing tools more effective and user-friendly. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

We may use your email address to send service-related announcements, newsletters about productivity techniques, and occasional marketing communications about new features. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time, and we will continue providing essential service notifications.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can manage your account settings to control what data we collect and how we use it. If you wish to exercise these rights, you can contact us directly using the information provided below.

You have the right to opt out of marketing communications without affecting your access to our core services. You can also control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though some features may require certain cookies to function properly.

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your data within thirty days, except where we must retain it for legal or regulatory reasons.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how you interact with our platform. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, login status, and usage patterns. We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies that remain on your device.

We employ first-party cookies to deliver core functionality and third-party analytics cookies to measure website performance. These technologies help us identify which timeboxing techniques resonate most with users and where we can improve our interface.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our platform.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use encryption protocols for data transmission and secure storage practices for data at rest.

While we strive to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use our services at your own risk. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our website and deliver services. These providers have access only to the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain your privacy. We do not authorize them to use your information for other purposes.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the “Last updated” date at the top. Your continued use of our services following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
