This Privacy Policy explains how the app HTML IDE (developed by ShafuForge, "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The App is designed to work fully offline for its core features (writing and editing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code). We collect only the following limited information:
- Device Identifier: A unique, non-personal device identifier is generated locally on your device to support the App's premium activation feature ("Root Access"). This identifier does not contain any personal information and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Locally Stored Project Data: Any HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code you write within the App is stored locally on your own device. We do not have access to this data, and it is never transmitted to our servers because we do not operate any backend servers.
- Advertising Data: If you use the free version of the App, third-party advertising services (such as Google AdMob) may collect certain data (such as advertising identifiers) to show relevant ads and measure ad performance.
2. How We Use Information
Any information collected is used solely to: enable and validate premium feature unlocks ("Root Access") tied to your device; display advertisements within the free version of the App (via third-party ad networks); improve the functionality and stability of the App. We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Data Storage
All of your project code (HTML/CSS/JS files) and app settings are stored locally on your device only. We do not operate cloud servers or databases that store your personal projects. If you uninstall the App, this locally stored data will be permanently deleted from your device.
4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version of the App may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process data such as advertising identifiers, device information, and general location (country/region level) to serve relevant ads and prevent fraud. This data collection is governed by Google's own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You may be able to opt out of personalized advertising through your device's settings (Android Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization).
5. Payment Information
The App offers an optional one-time "Root Access" unlock feature. Payment for this feature is handled manually and directly between the user and the developer via mobile financial services (bKash/Nagad), outside of the App itself. The App does not collect, store, or process any payment card information, bank details, or mobile financial service credentials.
6. Children's Privacy
The App is intended for use by students, including those under the age of 18, for educational purposes (learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children. The device identifier used for premium activation is anonymous and not linked to any personal identity.
7. Data Security
Since your project data remains on your own device and is not transmitted to any external server operated by us, the security of your project content depends on the security of your own device.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
