1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Huichuang Ltd. (汇创) ("Huichuang", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares and protects information when you use the FocusOnNow mobile application, its website and related services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly and transparently. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Information you provide. Task titles, descriptions, times, labels, schedules, to-dos and any other data you enter manually or create through the Service, as well as account information (such as an email address) if you create an Account.
- Voice input. Audio you record for the purpose of creating tasks or voice notes. Voice data is processed to convert speech to text and is not used for advertising or unrelated purposes.
- Photos and media. Images and other media you attach to task notes.
- Device and usage information. Device model, operating system version, app version, language settings, crash logs, feature-usage statistics and diagnostic data used to improve performance and stability.
- Information from third parties. Where permitted, we may receive limited information from third-party services you connect to the Service, such as app stores or authentication providers.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, maintain and personalize the Service and its features;
- Process your voice input and enable voice-based task creation;
- Store, sync and display your tasks, notes and media;
- Improve, develop and test new features and functionality;
- Diagnose technical issues, ensure security and prevent fraud or abuse;
- Communicate with you about updates, support requests and service announcements;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract — to provide and operate the Service you have requested;
- Legitimate interests — to improve and secure the Service, where such interests are not overridden by your rights;
- Consent — where you have given consent for a specific purpose (for example, microphone access for voice input), which you may withdraw at any time;
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws.
5. Voice and Media Data
Voice input and media attachments are used only to provide the features you request, such as speech-to-text task creation and note attachments. Where voice-to-text processing relies on a third-party provider, we transmit only the necessary audio and require such providers to process it solely for that purpose, under confidentiality and security obligations. You may disable microphone or photo access in your device settings at any time, though this may limit certain features.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the site is used and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising on our website.
7. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — with vendors who help operate the Service (for example, cloud storage, analytics and speech-processing providers), under written confidentiality and data-protection obligations and only to the extent necessary;
- Legal and safety — when required by law, legal process or a government request, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Huichuang, our users or the public, including to prevent child exploitation and other serious harms;
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy continuing to apply to your information;
- With your consent — where you have given explicit consent to a specific disclosure.
8. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to, stored in and processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may have different data-protection laws. Where required by applicable law, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your information during such transfers.
9. Data Retention
We retain your information only for as long as necessary to provide the Service and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Your tasks, notes and media are stored primarily on your device and are deleted when you delete them or uninstall the Service, subject to any synced account data. We may retain aggregated, de-identified data that cannot identify you indefinitely for analytics and improvement purposes.
10. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting your device and Account credentials.
11. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your information ("right to be forgotten");
- Request a copy or portability of your information in a machine-readable format;
- Object to or request restriction of certain processing;
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can manage or delete your tasks, notes and media directly within the app. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
