This Privacy Policy explains how Hushroom — formerly published as Focusage — ("the app", "we", "us") handles your information. The July 2026 rename from Focusage to Hushroom changed the app's name and icon only; it does not change what data is collected or how it is handled, and your account and data carry over unchanged. Hushroom is developed and operated by Rishikesh Prince, an independent developer publishing under the name Focusfuse. By using the app you agree to the practices described below.
The short version: Hushroom works fully offline and keeps your data on your device by default. Signing in is optional and only used to back up and sync your data. We don't show ads, and we never sell your personal information.
1. Information we collect
We collect only what's needed to run the app and the features you choose to use.
a) Account information (only if you sign in)
Signing in is optional and uses Google or GitHub (we do not offer email/password sign-in). If you create an account:
- Google Sign-In: we receive your name, email address, and a unique account identifier from your Google profile.
- GitHub Sign-In: we receive your name or username, your email address (where available from your GitHub profile), and a unique account identifier.
b) App content you create
- Pomodoro / focus session history
- To-dos, habits and their progress
- Goals, their milestones and progress (including optional reminder times)
- Notes you write in the app
- Tags, weekly focus goals, preferences and app settings (theme, timer durations, etc.)
This content is stored on your device. If you are signed in, a copy may also be stored in your account so it can be backed up and synced across your devices.
c) Technical information
We do not use third-party advertising networks and the app does not request your advertising identifier. Limited technical data (such as basic error logs) may be processed to keep the app working reliably. The app may request permissions you control — for example notifications — which you can manage in your device settings.
d) Subscription & purchase data
Hushroom Ignite (our paid subscription) is purchased on Android through Google Play, with subscriptions managed by RevenueCat, our subscription-management provider. We receive your subscription status, the plan you bought, and purchase/transaction identifiers — but never your full card or bank details, which stay with Google Play. To unlock Ignite on your other devices (such as Windows or the web), we link your subscription to your Hushroom account identifier and check that status when you sign in.
2. How we use information
- To provide the app's core features (timer, to-dos, habits, goals, notes, statistics)
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure
- To back up and synchronize your data across your devices (when signed in)
- To send local reminders and notifications you enable (such as habit and goal reminders)
- To operate the optional leaderboard you can choose to join (see section 4)
- To diagnose problems, prevent abuse, and improve reliability
- To process your subscription and unlock your Ignite features
- To respond to your support requests
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or profiling.
3. Google user data
When you choose to sign in with Google, Hushroom requests only your basic profile information — your name, email address and profile identifier — solely to create and secure your Hushroom account. We do not request access to your Google Drive, contacts, or any other Google service.
Hushroom's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to provide and improve the app's sign-in and sync features, never for advertising, and we do not sell it or transfer it to others except as needed to operate the service or where required by law.
4. Leaderboard & public information
Hushroom includes an optional, global leaderboard. Joining requires a signed-in account; if you never sign in or never open the leaderboard, nothing described in this section applies to you.
- What we store for it: an auto-generated 8-digit board id, the display name you choose for the leaderboard, and your points (weekly, monthly and all-time totals, plus a per-day points history).
- What other users can see: your leaderboard display name, your points and rank, and your daily points activity. Your email address, real name, account identifier and the underlying content (your habits, to-dos, goals, notes or session details) are never shown to other users — points are aggregate numbers only.
- Your choice of name: the leaderboard name is free-form and separate from your account, so you don't have to reveal who you are.
- Hiding or leaving: a "Show me on the leaderboard" toggle on the Ranks page lets you hide yourself at any time — your public entry is removed immediately and restored (with the same board id) if you rejoin. Deleting your account also removes your leaderboard entry and its points history.
5. Storage & security
- On your device: your data is stored locally so the app works offline.
- In the cloud (if signed in): account data is stored using Supabase, our backend and database provider, on secured infrastructure.
- Access controls: cloud data is protected by row-level security so that each account can access only its own data.
- In transit: data exchanged with our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
6. How we share data
We share data only with the service providers needed to run the app:
- Supabase — authentication, database and hosting.
- Google — Google Sign-In, and Android app distribution through Google Play. (The Windows and web versions are distributed from our website.)
- GitHub — GitHub Sign-In, when you choose it.
- RevenueCat — subscription management and purchase validation.
- Google Play Billing — processes subscription payments (Android).
Hushroom offers an optional Hushroom Ignite subscription. Payments are processed by Google Play and managed via RevenueCat; we do not receive or store your full payment card details. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety and security of our users and the service. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
7. Data retention & deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the app. You are always in control:
- Local data: uninstalling the app removes data stored on your device.
- Delete in the app (instant): Settings → Account → Delete account permanently deletes your account and all cloud-synced data immediately, including your leaderboard entry.
- Delete by request: you can also email support@focusfuse.co.in and we will delete your account within a reasonable period, except where we must retain limited records to comply with the law. Full details are on our account deletion page.
8. Children's privacy
Hushroom is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you within the app. Continued use of Hushroom after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
