The Short Version
Everything happens on your device. Nothing leaves it.
CipherBrick Pro is a local-only encryption tool. It has no accounts, no servers, no analytics, and no third-party integrations. There is nothing to collect and nowhere to send it.
Data We Collect
We collect no personal data of any kind. This includes:
- No names, email addresses, or account information
- No device identifiers or advertising IDs
- No IP addresses or location data
- No usage analytics or crash reports
- No cookies or tracking pixels
- No messages, plaintext, ciphertext, or encryption keys
How the App Works
All encryption and decryption is performed entirely on your device using the Web Crypto API. Your plaintext, keys, and encrypted output never leave your device and are never transmitted to any server operated by us or any third party.
The app is designed to function fully offline. No network connection is required or used during encryption or decryption operations.
Session data (temporary keys used during a session) is held in browser sessionStorage and is automatically cleared when the session ends or the idle timer expires. Nothing is written to permanent storage beyond your optional app settings (mode preference, language).
Permissions
CipherBrick Pro may request the following device permissions:
- Microphone — used only for local audio-based key exchange (ggwave). Audio is processed on-device and never recorded or transmitted.
- Camera — used only to scan QR codes locally. Images are never stored or transmitted.
- Security Key (FIDO2/WebAuthn) — used only for hardware key encryption modes. Credentials and cryptographic operations remain on your device and security key.
All permissions are used solely to provide the features you explicitly invoke. None are used for tracking or data collection.
Third-Party Services
CipherBrick Pro does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data services. No third-party SDKs that collect data are included in the application.
The marketing website (this site) does not use tracking cookies or analytics services.
Children's Privacy
CipherBrick Pro does not collect data from anyone, including children under 13. The app has no account system and no data collection mechanisms.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes in a material way, the effective date above will be updated and a notice will be posted. Because we collect no data, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy in practice.
