Focal is an Irish word-of-the-day app. It is built to work entirely on your device, and it is private by design.
None. Focal has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no servers of its own. The app never sends any information about you or your usage anywhere.
Focal keeps a small amount of data locally on your device so the app works: the words you save to your collection, the days you opened the app (for your streak and journey), and your settings (theme, language, reminder time, widget colours). This data never leaves your device. Deleting the app deletes all of it.
If you turn on the daily reminder, it is scheduled locally on your device. No push notification service is used and no device tokens are created.
Optional tips are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Focal never sees your name, payment details, or any other personal information from a purchase. Apple's handling of that data is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.
Focal collects no data from anyone, including children. The app is rated 4+.
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date. Since Focal collects nothing, changes are unlikely.
