Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2024

CodeMask is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use CodeMask, a local-first application for masking sensitive code and text.

1. Local-First Architecture

CodeMask is designed with privacy as a core principle:

• No Data Collection: CodeMask runs entirely on your local machine. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your code, text, or masked content.
• No Network Requests: The application does not send any data to external servers during normal operation.
• No Analytics: We do not track your usage, collect analytics, or monitor your activity.

2. Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device:

• Mapping Store: The encrypted mapping file (used to reverse masking operations) is stored locally on your machine in your user data directory.
• No Cloud Sync: Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.
• Encryption: Mapping data is encrypted using your OS keychain for additional security.

3. Open Source

CodeMask is open source software. You can review the source code at GitHub to verify our privacy claims.

4. Website

If you visit our website or sign up for updates:

• We may collect information you voluntarily provide (e.g., email address for waitlist signup).
• We use standard web server logs that may include IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited.
• We do not use cookies or tracking technologies beyond standard web server functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

CodeMask does not integrate with third-party services that collect your data. The application is self-contained and operates independently.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
