Privacy Policy

1. Developer Identity & Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Vx Code ("the App"), developed and maintained by RAZi ("we", "us", or "our"), distributed via the Google Play Store.

This policy details how the App handles user data, explains requested device permissions, and outlines our strict commitment to user privacy in compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies.

2. Data Collection and Usage

We collect zero personal information. Specifically:

• No Personal Identifiers: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, or government IDs.
• No User Accounts: The App requires no registration, sign-up, or login. You can use all features immediately upon installation without providing credentials.
• No Telemetry or Usage Analytics: We do not track what features you use, how long you code, which extensions you install, or how frequently you open the App.
• No Diagnostic or Crash Telemetry: Crash reports and stack traces are not automatically collected or transmitted to external servers.
• No Device or Network Identifiers: We do not collect Android Advertising IDs (AAID), IMEI numbers, MAC addresses, IP addresses, or unique hardware fingerprints.
• No Location Data: The App does not request, access, or track GPS or network-based location data.

3. Device Permissions & Technical Disclosures

In accordance with Google Play Developer Policy regarding Device and Network Abuse and Sensitive Permissions, the App requests only permissions strictly necessary for core IDE functionality:

A. Storage Access (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Purpose: As an integrated development environment (IDE), Vx Code requires storage access solely to open, edit, create, compile, and save source code files, Git repositories, and project directories that you explicitly choose to work with on your device.

Privacy Guarantee: Your files are never scanned for advertising or profiling purposes, nor are they ever uploaded to any remote server by the App. All file read and write operations take place locally on your device.

B. Internet Access (android.permission.INTERNET)

Purpose: The App requests network permission strictly so the embedded Linux terminal environment can execute user-initiated commands, such as:

• Downloading open-source packages and dependencies via package managers (e.g., apt install, npm install, pip install, cargo).
• Cloning and pushing to remote Git repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab) upon your command.
• Binding to local development servers (e.g., http://localhost:3000) for previewing web applications.

Privacy Guarantee: The App itself transmits zero background telemetry or analytic packets. Network calls are only ever dispatched as a direct result of user actions in the terminal or code editor.

C. Foreground Service & Notifications (FOREGROUND_SERVICE / POST_NOTIFICATIONS)

Purpose: Used exclusively to keep the local compilation environment, code-server process, and long-running build tasks active when you switch between apps, preventing Android's battery manager from prematurely terminating your active development session.

D. Wake Lock (WAKE_LOCK)

Purpose: Prevents the CPU from sleeping during active compilation, package installation, or long-running script execution when initiated by the user.

4. Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion

In accordance with Google Play's Data Safety and Account/Data Deletion requirements:

• Local Storage Only: All source code files, application settings, installed extensions, and Linux PRoot container files are stored locally on your device.
• User Data Deletion: Because we operate no remote servers, user databases, or cloud accounts, we hold no user data to delete. You retain 100% autonomous control over your data.
• Immediate Complete Removal: You can delete any project file directly within the editor or via your Android file manager. Clearing the App storage in Android Settings or uninstalling the App permanently and immediately deletes all container files and local application data from your device.

5. Third-Party SDKs and Services

Vx Code does not integrate:

• Third-party advertising SDKs (no Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, etc.).
• Third-party analytics SDKs (no Google Analytics for Firebase, Mixpanel, AppsFlyer, etc.).
• Third-party behavioral tracking or user profiling services.

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade any user data to third parties under any circumstances.

6. Security Architecture

Vx Code runs within a secure Debian PRoot user-space container directly on your Android device. It operates entirely without root privileges (su), maintaining Android's standard sandbox boundaries and permission isolation model.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy Compliance)

Vx Code does not knowingly collect, request, or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). Because the App collects no personal information whatsoever from any user, it is fully safe and compliant with child privacy standards.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or application enhancements. When changes are made, the "Last updated" and "Effective date" at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. We recommend checking this page periodically.
