Política de Privacidade

We build software with Privacy by Design at its core. All data generated inside PomoDog is stored 100% locally on your physical device. This includes:

• Your Pomodoro timers, focus intervals, and daily/monthly study records.
• Your personal study vault, journal reflections, and daily checklist items.
• Your Pack Album collection, unlocked dogs, and accumulated bone currency.
• Your custom tags, mood palettes, and acoustic preference settings.

We do not operate proprietary cloud servers, remote analytics databases, or tracking infrastructure. We do not collect, transmit, profile, or sell your personal information to third parties.

Because PomoDog does not maintain remote user databases or cloud servers, the safeguarding and preservation of your local app data relies on your device's native backup systems (such as Android Auto Backup or Google Drive device backups). You retain sole responsibility for backing up and maintaining your local application data across device upgrades, migrations, or application uninstalls.

PomoDog utilizes local device capabilities to enhance your focus and active pause routines:

• Step Counter & Physical Activity: Used solely to detect physical steps during optional active breaks. Sensor calculations execute entirely within the device hardware sandbox and are never transmitted externally.
• Local Audio & Haptics: Ambient sounds and tactile haptic feedback run client-side on device synthesizers and vibrating motors. No microphone access or audio recording takes place.
• Foreground Service & Notifications: Used strictly to maintain the continuous Pomodoro countdown and persistent status bar notification when the screen is locked or the app is minimized.

PomoDog uses Google AdMob to deliver non-intrusive banner ads (automatically muted/hidden during Deep Focus sessions) and optional voluntary rewarded video ads in the Shop:

• European Union (GDPR) & Brazil (LGPD): We integrate Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK compliant with IAB TCF v2.2 framework. Users in the EEA, UK, and Brazil are presented with explicit consent management dialogs before any personalized ad requests. Non-personalized advertising flags (npa=1) are enforced whenever consent is declined or restricted.
• Deep Focus Guarantee: During active focus sessions, advertising banners are completely hidden and silenced to guarantee an uninterrupted study sanctuary.

PomoDog is designed for a general audience aged 13 years and older (16 years and older in jurisdictions where required by law). In strict accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA):

• We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
• If you are under 13, you may not use the app without verified parental or guardian guidance.

In accordance with China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and global data sovereignty principles:

• All personal application data remains strictly confined to your local hardware storage.
• 1-Click Data Erasure: Users have the unrestricted right to instantly erase, reset, or purge all locally stored timer statistics, pack albums, and journal entries at any time via the in-app Settings menu or by clearing app storage.

All in-app purchases (such as PomoDog Premium) are processed securely and exclusively through the official Google Play Billing Library (v7). We do not collect or store your credit card details, billing address, or financial payment information.

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements or regulatory changes. Because we do not collect email addresses or user accounts, we recommend reviewing this policy page periodically. Changes become effective immediately upon publication.
