Bobcorn is designed with your privacy in mind. This page explains exactly what data we collect, why, and how you can opt out at any time.
Effective: April 2025All analytics are tied to a randomly generated installation UUID — never to your identity, account, or device fingerprint.
We never collect any of the following:
Anonymous usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable, prioritize bug fixes, and make compatibility decisions (e.g. which OS versions to support).
Feature analytics (opt-in) let us see whether new capabilities are actually used, so we can invest development time where it matters most.
Data is sent directly from the desktop app to Google Analytics 4 via the Measurement Protocol — no browser, no cookies, no tracking pixels.
Each installation is assigned a random UUID stored locally in your app data folder. This ID has no connection to your identity and cannot be used to re-identify you.
The analytics call is made at app launch and on specific user actions. No data is collected while the app is closed.
Open Settings → Data Sharing at any time to disable Basic
analytics or decline Detailed analytics. Your preference is saved locally and respected
immediately — no restart required.
Opting out stops all future data transmission. Previously sent anonymous events cannot be retroactively deleted from GA4 because they carry no identifying information.
GA4 (remote): Event data is retained for 14 months, then automatically deleted by Google.
Local (on-device): Raw events are kept for 90 days. Aggregated summaries (e.g. total launch count) are stored indefinitely in your local app data folder and are never transmitted.
