Privacy Policy

Overview

CodeCipher is committed to user privacy. This document describes how data is handled in our application.

Core Principles

  • Minimal Data Collection: We collect only what is necessary for the application to function
  • Local-First Processing: All encoding/decoding operations happen in your browser
  • Explicit Consent: Any data sharing requires explicit user action
  • Transparency: We are clear about what data exists and where it lives

What Data We Collect

Analytics (Ahrefs Web Analytics)

  • What: Anonymous page views, referring URLs, browser type, device type
  • Where: Sent to Ahrefs servers for analytics processing
  • Why: To understand how users discover and use our tools
  • Retention: As per Ahrefs data retention policy
  • User Control: Analytics cannot be disabled, but no personal information is collected

User Content

  • What: Text, files, and settings you enter into the tools
  • Where: Stored locally in your browser only (IndexedDB and localStorage)
  • Why: To provide conversion history and restore previous work
  • Retention: Stays in your browser until you clear it
  • User Control: You can clear browser storage at any time

What We DON'T Collect

  • ❌ No user accounts or registration
  • ❌ No server-side storage of your conversions
  • ❌ No cookies for tracking
  • ❌ No email addresses or personal information
  • ❌ No third-party advertising networks
