Privacy Policy for GuideDog

Last updated: June 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how GuideDog ("we", "our", or "us") handles your information when you use our mobile application, GuideDog (the "App").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information.

1. Information Collection and Use

GuideDog is a local Markdown viewer, editor, and static web browser.

• Zero Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, use, or share any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, phone number, device identifiers, or location).
• Local Operation: All document processing, Markdown rendering, HTML loading, and file storage happen entirely locally on your device. We do not transmit your files or contents to any external servers.

2. Device Permissions

To provide its core features, the App may request the following permissions on your device:

• Storage / Files Access: Required to read, open, edit, and render local Markdown files, HTML files, and ZIP archives that you explicitly select.
• Internet Access: Used solely to load external links when using the built-in web browser component or rendering external media (like online images or styles) within your Markdown documents. We do not use this permission to collect or upload your personal data.

3. Third-Party Services

We do not integrate any third-party SDKs, analytics tools, or advertising networks (such as Google Analytics, Firebase, or AdMob) that collect or track your data.

4. Children's Privacy

Our App does not collect any personal information. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from children under the age of 13.

5. Security of Your Data

Since all your files and data remain stored locally on your own device, the security of your files depends on your device's security settings. We recommend keeping your device updated and secured.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
