Privacy policy
WyzeFocus is built so that your tasks stay yours. We do not run a server for your data, there is no account with us, and the apps collect no analytics, telemetry, crash reports or advertising data. We cannot read your tasks.
This policy applies to the WyzeFocus app for Mac, its web version at wyzefocus.labwyze.com, and this page. It is written for the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Quebec, “Law 25”) and Canada’s PIPEDA.
What we collect
Nothing from your tasks. We do not receive their content, their titles, or how you use the app.
Where your data is
On a Mac, your tasks, projects and settings are stored in a single file named wyzefocus.json in the app’s data folder on your Mac.
In the web version, your data is stored in your browser’s storage (IndexedDB) on that device. Clearing the site’s data in your browser deletes it from that device.
iCloud sync (optional)
If you sign in with Apple to sync, your data is stored in your own iCloud private database, through Apple’s CloudKit service (container iCloud.com.labwyze.wyzemind, in a zone separate from WyzeMind). You sign in on Apple’s own page: WyzeFocus never sees your Apple password. Apple does not give developers access to the content of a user’s private database, so we cannot read it. Apple’s privacy policy applies to iCloud. The sign-in token is protected by macOS on a Mac and kept in the browser’s storage in the web version. You can stop syncing at any time in the settings.
Network connections
The apps go online only in these cases:
- iCloud sync, if you turn it on, on the Mac or in the web version (see below). It connects only to Apple’s iCloud.
- Update notice (Mac). When it opens and then every 6 hours, the Mac app reads a small public file, wyzefocus.labwyze.com/latest-mac.json, to see whether a newer version exists. The request carries no identifier and no data about you or your content; like any web request, the host (Netlify) sees your IP address. Nothing is installed automatically: if a newer version exists, a banner offers to open this page.
- Tasks sent from WyzeMind. On a Mac, WyzeMind hands the task text to WyzeFocus on the same Mac, without the internet. On the web, the task text is in the address of wyzefocus.labwyze.com, so it can appear in that site host’s technical logs.
Nothing else: no analytics, no advertising, no crash reports and no automatic installation.
This page and the downloads
This page and the web version are hosted by Netlify, and the downloads are served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, they process technical data such as your IP address and the pages or files you request, to deliver them and protect the service, under their own policies. This page sets no cookies, uses no analytics or trackers, and its fonts and videos are served from our own site. The “Buy me a coffee” link leads to an outside site with its own policy.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information and we show no ads. Data only goes to the services described above, when you use them: Apple (iCloud), the AI provider you chose, and our hosts.
Where data is processed
Apple, the AI providers, Netlify and Cloudflare may process data outside Quebec and Canada, including in the United States.
Your rights
Because your tasks stay on your devices and in your own iCloud, you control them directly: you can export, change or delete them in the app, delete the app’s data folder, clear the site’s data in your browser, or stop syncing. You also have the right to ask whether we hold personal information about you, to access it, to have it corrected or deleted, and to withdraw your consent. Write to info@labwyze.com. We answer within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied, you may contact the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Children
WyzeFocus is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Person in charge
The person in charge of the protection of personal information is the founder of Labwyze, Labwyze Inc., reachable at info@labwyze.com.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we update the date at the top of this page.
