The short version: Pin Lock Private Browser collects no data about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no trackers and no servers operated by us. Everything the app stores — history, bookmarks, downloads, tabs, settings and your PIN material — lives only on your device, and we have no way to access it.
Pin Lock Private Browser ("the App") is an independent iOS application. This policy explains what information the App handles and, more importantly, what it does not. Contact for privacy questions: pulsarsandpulsar@gmail.com.
We do not collect, receive, transmit, sell, rent or share any personal data. Specifically, the App contains:
We have no database of users. We could not identify you, look up your activity or hand over your data even if asked, because none of it ever reaches us.
To function as a browser, the App stores the following data locally on your device. It never leaves your device through anything we operate:
You can erase this data at any time using Clear Cache & Cookies or Delete Everything in the App's settings, or by deleting the App from your device.
Your PIN or password is never stored anywhere, on your device or elsewhere. The App keeps only a random salt and a small verifier that can confirm a correct PIN; the PIN itself cannot be recovered from them. Because of this design there is no PIN recovery: if you forget your PIN, the data protected by it is permanently inaccessible, and we cannot restore it. Entering a different PIN opens a fresh, empty session by design.
The App is a browser. When you enter an address or search, your device connects directly to that website or to your chosen search engine (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave Search or Google). Those third parties receive your requests — including your IP address — and handle them under their own privacy policies, which we do not control and are not responsible for. The App's ad and tracker blocking is a best-effort convenience feature and does not guarantee that any third party is prevented from collecting data about you.
The App offers optional paid features ("Pro") through auto-renewable subscriptions. All purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store:
The App's only network activity is: (a) loading the websites and searches you request, and (b) communicating with Apple's App Store for purchases and subscription status. Nothing else. No telemetry, no "phoning home".
The App is a general-purpose web browser and is not directed at children. It is intended for users aged 17 and over, consistent with its App Store age rating. We do not knowingly collect any data from anyone — including children — because the App collects no data at all.
Privacy regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights over personal data that companies hold about you. We hold none. There is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete — all of your data is under your direct control on your own device.
If we ever change how the App handles data, we will update this policy and revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated policy.
