Who We Are

KeepFocus is part of Switch-to.eu, a European initiative building privacy-first digital tools. We're committed to creating productivity software that respects your privacy and operates under European data protection standards.

What Data We Collect

KeepFocus is designed to collect minimal data necessary to provide its core functionality:

Task Information

Task titles, descriptions, completion status, and pomodoro counts you create - stored only in your browser's local storage

Settings & Preferences

Timer durations, notification preferences, and other customization options - stored locally in your browser

Technical Information

Basic server logs for security and performance monitoring (no personal identification or tracking)

What We Don't Collect

No email addresses, no IP tracking, no behavioral analytics, no advertising profiles, no tracking cookies, no cloud synchronization data

How We Protect Your Data

Local Storage Only

All your tasks, settings, and timer data are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device or gets transmitted to our servers.

Client-Side Processing

All pomodoro timer functionality, task management, and data processing happens entirely in your browser. No server-side processing of personal data.

European Infrastructure

(For hosting only) App hosting uses European servers under strict European data protection laws. No personal data is stored on servers.

Technical Security

HTTPS encryption, secure hosting infrastructure, regular security updates, and open source transparency for code auditing.

Data Retention

Automatic Data Management

Your tasks and settings persist in your browser's local storage until you manually delete them or clear your browser data.

Immediate Control

You can delete all your data instantly by clearing your browser's local storage or using your browser's data management features.

Server Logs

Basic server access logs (no personal data) are retained for 30 days for security monitoring and performance optimization.

Third-Party Services

Hosting Infrastructure

We use European hosting providers that comply with GDPR and EU data protection standards. No personal data is shared with hosting providers.

No Analytics or Tracking

We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook tracking, or any other third-party analytics services. No behavioral data is collected or shared.

Browser Notifications

Desktop notifications use your browser's native notification API. No data is sent to third parties for notification delivery.

Open Source Transparency

Our code is publicly available for inspection. You can verify that no hidden tracking or data collection occurs.

Your Rights

Right to Access

You can access all your data at any time through your browser's developer tools or by inspecting local storage.

Right to Deletion

Delete all your data instantly by clearing your browser's local storage or using the browser's built-in data management features.

Data Portability

Export your tasks and settings data from your browser's local storage at any time using standard browser tools.

No Consent Required

Since no personal data is collected or processed server-side, explicit consent mechanisms are not required for basic app functionality.

International Data Transfers

No Data Transfers

Since all personal data stays in your browser, there are no international data transfers. App hosting occurs within European Union jurisdiction.
