Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 14, 2026Firedown is built as a No-Data-Collection app. We value your privacy and believe that your data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains our stance on data collection and your rights.
01 Information Collection and Use
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or data from your device. Specifically:
- Personal Data: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.
- Usage Data: We do not track how you use the app, your location, or your device information.
- Permissions: Any permissions requested by the app (e.g., Camera or Storage) are used strictly for the app's local functionality and are never uploaded to any external servers.
02 Third-Party Services
The App does not use any third-party services (such as analytics, advertising networks, or cloud storage) that could potentially collect or track your data.
03 Data Storage
By default, all data generated within the App stays stored locally on your device. We do not have access to it, and it is deleted if you uninstall the App.
Firedown also offers an optional bookmark sync feature, off by default, that keeps your bookmarks in step across your own devices. When you turn it on, the only thing uploaded is end-to-end-encrypted data we cannot read:
- Ciphertext only: Your bookmarks are encrypted on your device before they leave it. Our server stores only opaque ciphertext — never your titles, URLs or any contents.
- No account, no email, no phone number: A recovery code generated on your device is the sole key. We never see it, and it cannot be recovered if you lose it.
- No third-party cloud: Sync is hosted on Firedown's own server, with no analytics and no tracking.
Encrypted backup for your downloaded files is coming soon under the same zero-knowledge model — files encrypted on your device, stored as ciphertext we cannot read. Because everything is end-to-end encrypted, our core promise still holds: we cannot read your data.
04 Children's Privacy
Our App does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. We are fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
05 Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. However, since we do not collect any data, any changes will likely be for clarity or to comply with new legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
