Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026 · Lanes is published by YozatApps.

The short version

Your focus sessions, distractions, coins and settings stay on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your projects and tasks are saved to your own private account in our cloud, so they are kept safe and, if you sign in with Apple, open on all your devices. We also collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app. We never sell data, show ads or track you across apps.

Your projects and tasks

When you use the Work tab, Lanes saves your projects, tasks, notes, checklists and the time you track to Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore and Firebase Authentication, in a project used only by this app and operated by YozatApps). The first time you open the app it creates an anonymous account for you, with no login screen. Only that account can read or write your work: our database rules refuse every other request.

• Account identifier. A random user id created by Firebase Authentication. It is linked to your work and to nothing else.
• Sign in with Apple (optional). If you sign in to sync your devices, your account is linked to your Apple ID. Apple may share an email address with us; you can choose to hide it, in which case we receive a private relay address. We use it only to keep your account; we never email you marketing.
• Your content. Project names, task titles, notes, checklists, estimates and time entries, used only to show them back to you on your devices.

Anonymous usage statistics

• Usage events (for example: a session started, a task created, a coin pack purchased with its price and currency). They are keyed to a random identifier generated by the app on first launch and never contain the text of your projects or tasks. They are not linked to your account, your Apple ID, your email or your device identifiers, and they are not used for tracking or advertising.
• Diagnostic context with each event: app version, system version, device model, language and App Store country.
• Feedback you choose to send from Settings. It is anonymous unless you add contact details in the text.

What we do not collect

No phone number, no location, no contacts, no photos, no advertising identifier, no cross-app tracking. Motion sensor data used to detect a pickup during a session never leaves the device. Purchases are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details.

Deleting your data

In the app, go to Settings → Account → Delete my account and data. This permanently deletes all your projects, tasks, notes and time entries, deletes your account and, if you signed in with Apple, revokes Lanes’s access to your Apple ID. Signing out keeps your work in your account for when you sign in again. Anonymous usage statistics cannot be tied back to you, so they cannot be singled out; deleting the app removes their identifier from your device. For any other request write to yozatapps@gmail.com.

Children

Lanes is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

This website

To see which pages are useful, this website counts visits with our own anonymous statistics: the page viewed, which outgoing links are clicked (such as the App Store), the site you came from, your browser's language and time zone (used to estimate the country), screen size and device type. A random identifier kept in your browser's local storage tells a new visit from a returning one. No cookies are set, no IP address is stored, and nothing is shared with third parties or used for advertising. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes the identifier.

Changes

We will update this page when the policy changes and note the date above.
