When your account is deleted we remove your profile and login, your synced plans and settings, your device registrations and your app activity statistics. Purchase and invoice records are not deleted. UK tax and company law require us to keep records that identify the purchaser, so those records are kept for the period the law requires and are not anonymised.
17.2 You can delete your account and its data at any time. In the FocusMe iOS app, open Settings > Account > Delete Account while signed in. You can also use focusme.com/delete-account/, or email . To remove specific data without closing your account, see focusme.com/delete-data/.
Deleting your account removes your profile and login, your synced plans and settings, your device registrations and your activity statistics on every device. Purchase and invoice records are kept for the period the law requires, as set out in 17.1. Deletion cannot be undone.
If you have a plan running, stop it before deleting your account. If you cannot stop it, contact .
Deleting your FocusMe account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Cancel that separately in your Apple ID Account Settings.
18. Screen Time and Family Controls (iOS)
The FocusMe iOS app uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs (Family Controls, Managed Settings and Device Activity) to block apps and websites on your device. You grant this access through Apple’s own authorisation prompt, and you can withdraw it at any time in iOS Settings under Screen Time.
The app selections you make are opaque tokens issued by Apple that are meaningful only on your own device. We cannot read from them which apps you chose, and they are never transmitted to our servers or to any third party. Per-app usage figures produced by Screen Time are processed inside Apple’s sandboxed report extension and never leave your device.
We do not use any Screen Time or Family Controls data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with data brokers or advertising networks.
19. What the FocusMe Mobile Apps Send to Our Servers
Blocking runs entirely on your device and does not require an account.
Even without an account, the app contacts our licensing server to check or start your trial, sending a device identifier, your device name, your operating system and its version.
If you sign in, we also sync your plan definitions (plan names, schedules, blocked website addresses and protection settings) and a daily count of how many times a block was shown on that device.
When you sign in or create an account, your password is sent to our servers to authenticate you. It is not stored on your device.
If you use PIN recovery, the app sends your recovery email address and your PIN to our server, which emails the PIN to that address and does not keep a copy. Note that the email itself contains your PIN, so it will remain in your mailbox until you delete it.
We never see or store your payment card details. Purchases made in the app are handled entirely by Apple or Google.
