Privacy policy
Who we are
Fokusnyk (fokusnyk.com) is attention and reading training. Questions about data: hello@fokusnyk.com.
What we collect and why
Account. Your email; the password is stored only as a hash (Argon2). If you sign in with Google, we use and store only your email address and whether it is verified (scope "openid email"). We also store your interface language, admin and blocked flags, sign-up date and last-activity time.
Exercise results. Exercise, level, metrics (for example words per minute, reaction time, errors) and timestamps. This is used to show your progress.
Blog. An anonymous cookie fk_vid (random id, 1 year). It is used only to count one view of an article per day and to remember your 馃憤/馃憥. We store the vote itself and daily view records.
Technical. Your IP address is used transiently, in memory, for rate limiting and is not stored. Server logs contain the IP addresses of requests. They are rotated automatically by size (at most ~30 MB per service), so how long they are kept depends on traffic.
What we do not collect
Texts you paste and files you upload in the reading exercise stay in your browser and are not sent to our server. We use no analytics trackers. Site pages include Google AdSense code for showing ads (see below).
Browser storage
localStorage holds your login token, theme and language, and guest demo flags.
Third parties
- Google: sign-in with Google;
- Google Gmail SMTP: sending verification and password-reset emails;
- Google Fonts: font files on blog pages; Google sees your IP address when fonts load;
- Google AdSense: showing ads on the site; Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads. Visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent by Google; you can manage personalisation in Google ad settings, see also how Google uses data on partner sites. There are no ads inside the exercises;
- our hosting server: a VPS provider in the EU (Hetzner, Finland).
Retention
We keep account data while the account exists and delete it on request within 30 days (write to us). Vote and view records (fk_vid) are anonymous, not linked to your account, and are kept while the article exists, including after account deletion. Database backups are kept for up to 14 days, so deleted data disappears from backups within 14 days.
Your rights
You may ask for access, correction or deletion of your data, or object to processing, by writing to hello@fokusnyk.com. You may also complain to your data-protection authority.
Children
The service is not intended for children under 13 (under 16 in the EU unless a parent consents).
