Privacy Policy

Last updated November 8, 2026

Who we are

Rocus is an iPhone app that blocks the apps you choose, on rules you set. It is provided by Kudaibergen Abutalip (“we”, “us”), the seller shown on the App Store. This policy covers the Rocus app (the “App”) and the website rocus.app (the “Site”), for people everywhere the App is available.

Questions or requests: support@rocus.app.

The short version

  • Rocus has no account. You never sign up or sign in.
  • What you tell Rocus, your profiles, your schedules and your choices stay on your device. We never receive them.
  • We cannot see which apps you block. Apple gives Rocus a sealed token for each app, not its name.
  • Two things leave your device: your purchase status, through our subscription processor RevenueCat, and anonymous ad measurement through Apple’s SKAdNetwork.
  • We do not sell personal data, and there are no ads in the App.

Information that stays on your device

Rocus stores the following only on your device:

  • The alternative you choose in onboarding and the reasons you write
  • Your block profiles: their names, schedules, time limits, open limits and hard blocks
  • The apps, categories and websites you pick, as tokens from Apple’s Screen Time picker. Rocus cannot turn a token back into an app’s name.
  • Your choice history: each time you chose your intention or chose to scroll, and when
  • Focus sessions, daily open counts, settings and onboarding progress

Screen time numbers shown in Rocus are drawn by Apple’s Screen Time report, inside a sandbox that Rocus cannot read from. They never reach us.

You can take a copy of everything Rocus holds with Export my data in the App’s Profile tab. Deleting the App deletes all of it. We cannot recover it, because we never had it.

Permissions

Screen Time (Family Controls). Rocus uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs (Family Controls, Managed Settings and Device Activity) to put a shield over the apps you pick and to apply your schedules and limits. Blocking cannot work without this permission. You can turn it off in iOS Settings at any time.

Notifications (optional). If you allow them, Rocus schedules one reminder on your device two days before a free trial ends. It is not sent from a server.

Rocus does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or browsing history.

Subscriptions

Rocus Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through the Apple App Store. Apple processes the payment. We never receive your card details or your Apple ID password.

We use RevenueCat, Inc., based in the United States, to manage subscriptions. When the App checks or changes your subscription, RevenueCat receives a random identifier it creates for your installation, your purchase and subscription history, basic device and operating-system details, and your IP address. We use this only to know whether Pro is active, to restore your purchase on a new device, and to prevent fraud. RevenueCat does not receive anything you wrote in Rocus or the apps you block. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy and Apple’s privacy policy.

Advertising measurement

When we advertise Rocus, we measure whether an ad led to an install or a subscription with Apple’s SKAdNetwork. Apple sends the ad network an anonymous signal, delayed and stripped of anything that identifies you or your device. Rocus does not use your device’s advertising identifier, does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and so does not show Apple’s tracking prompt.

When you email us

If you write to support@rocus.app, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. Mail to rocus.app is routed by Cloudflare to our inbox provider. We use it to reply and to fix problems, and we do not add you to a mailing list.

This website

The Site has no account, no cookies and no advertising pixels. It is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., which keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) to deliver and protect the Site.

We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not identify you or follow you to other sites. It records the page you visit, the site that linked to it, your browser, operating system, device type and country, and how fast the page loaded. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The Site uses your device’s own fonts and loads nothing from Google or other font services.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell or rent personal data.
  • We do not share personal data for targeted (cross-context behavioral) advertising.
  • We do not build profiles about you, and we do not use automated decision-making.
  • There are no ads in the App.

Where data protection law asks for a legal basis, ours are:

  • Contract: managing your subscription and restoring purchases.
  • Legitimate interests: answering support emails, preventing fraud, keeping the Site secure, counting Site visits without identifying anyone, and measuring our ads anonymously.
  • Legal obligation: keeping records the law requires.

For the purposes of these laws, Kudaibergen Abutalip is the controller.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Because almost everything stays on your device, we usually hold only support emails you sent us. Purchase records are held by Apple and RevenueCat; we will pass on a request about them.

EEA, UK and Switzerland. You have the right to access, correct, delete and receive a copy of your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to complain to your data protection authority.

United States. Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with privacy laws can ask to know, access, correct and delete personal data, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal data as those laws define it, and we do not use sensitive personal data in a way that would need a “limit the use” link. You can appeal a decision, and use an authorized agent where your state allows. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

Everywhere else. We honor the same requests where your local law gives you these rights.

To make a request, email support@rocus.app with the subject “Privacy request”. We may ask you to confirm it comes from you, and we reply within the time your law requires (one month in the EEA and UK, 45 days in U.S. states).

International transfers

RevenueCat and our hosting provider are in the United States, so purchase records, server logs and visit counts may be processed there. Where the law requires it, these transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep information

Data in the App stays on your device until you delete it or the App. We keep support emails only as long as we need them to help you, then for a limited time for security, accounting and legal reasons. RevenueCat keeps purchase records as its own policy describes.

Children

Rocus is for people aged 13 and over, or the minimum age to use such services without parental consent in your country, if that is higher. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below that age. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, write to us and we will delete it.

Security

Data on your device is protected by your device passcode, Face ID or Touch ID and by iOS. We cannot unlock your device or read what Rocus stores there. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure.

Changes to this policy

We will post any change on this page and update the date above. If a change affects what data leaves your device, we will also tell you in the App before it takes effect.
