Privacy Policy - Pocket Compiler

Cosmovex built Pocket Compiler (listed on Google Play as Text Editor - Notepad & Code, package com.cosmovex.textvedit, also called TextVEdit) as an ad-supported application. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app may process, how that information is used, and the choices you have when using the app.

Information We Process

• Your code and files: files you open, create and run are stored and executed on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. They leave your device only when you choose to send them: to COSMO AI (below) or to your own Git remote when you push.
• Quick notes: notes created via the Quick Note feature are stored locally on your device and are never synced or uploaded.
• App preferences: your theme choice, language preference, editor font size, and settings are stored locally on your device.
• Usage and ad data: if ads are enabled, AdMob or related Google Mobile Ads services may collect device and advertising data as described in Google's own privacy documentation.
• Analytics and diagnostics: Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics may collect app stability, usage patterns, and crash reports to improve reliability and user experience.

How We Use Information

• To let you create, open, edit, and save text and code files.
• To remember your theme, language, and editor settings.
• To improve app performance, reliability, and product quality.
• To display ads in supported versions of the app, where applicable.

Local Storage

TextVEdit is designed to keep your data on your device. Text files, quick notes, and preferences are stored locally and are not uploaded to any server. Data remains on your device until you clear it, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app.

COSMO AI

COSMO AI features are optional and for users aged 18 or over. When you use one, only the content that action needs (for example the file, selection, error message or diff you chose) is sent over an encrypted connection to our server and from there to Google's Gemini API to produce the answer. We do not store your prompts. A copy of the answer is kept for up to 24 hours, only so that a retried request after a dropped connection is not charged twice, and is then deleted automatically. Your prompts and answers are never used to train AI models. We use Gemini under Google's paid-service terms, under which Google does not use them to improve its products. Google may retain them for a limited period solely to detect abuse, as described in Google's Gemini API terms.

COSMO Account and Credits

To keep your AI credits across reinstalls and across Cosmovex apps without a login, COSMO keeps an anonymous account ID, salted hashes of device identifiers, your credit balance, store purchase receipts, and a record of each AI action (which action, its cost, the length of the answer and whether it was refunded). It never keeps the content. If you choose to link a Google account, we store the account's Google ID, not your email. You can delete your COSMO account in the app. It is permanently erased after a 7-day grace period.

Git and GitHub

Tokens for GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket are stored only in your device's secure storage (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain) and are sent only to that provider. SSH keys are generated on your device and stay in the app's private storage. We never receive them.

Advertising

TextVEdit may use Google AdMob to show banner, interstitial, and rewarded ad formats. AdMob may collect and process identifiers, device information, approximate location, and ad interaction data to deliver and measure ads. You can remove ads via an in-app purchase.

In-App Purchases

Pocket Compiler offers optional in-app purchases: a one-time purchase to remove advertisements, a Pro subscription, lifetime Pro, and COSMO AI credit packs. Purchases are processed through Google Play or the App Store and are subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Third-Party Services

TextVEdit may rely on third-party services such as:

• Google Play Services
• Google AdMob
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics
• Firebase Remote Config
• Google Gemini API (COSMO AI)
• Firebase Authentication / Cloud Firestore / Cloud Functions (COSMO account)

Data Sharing

We do not sell your text files, notes, or personal data. Data may be shared only with service providers required to operate app features, such as advertising, analytics, app distribution, or diagnostics infrastructure.

Data Retention

Local app data remains on your device until you remove it, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. Data collected by third-party services such as AdMob and Firebase is retained according to those providers' own policies.

• COSMO AI answers: up to 24 hours.
• COSMO account records: until you delete the account (7-day grace).

Children's Privacy

TextVEdit is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect data processed by the app, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Your Choices

• You can uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data from your device.
• You can purchase ad-free to disable all advertising.
• You can choose not to use COSMO AI, and you can delete your COSMO account in the app at any time.
• You can manage ad personalization and advertising controls through your device and Google settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date.
