Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

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 2025
01 / What we collect

Two tiers of analytics, both anonymous

All analytics are tied to a randomly generated installation UUID — never to your identity, account, or device fingerprint.

02 / What we do NOT collect

Your project data stays on your device

We never collect any of the following:

  • Project content or workspace data
  • SVG source code or image data
  • Icon names or file names
  • Personal information (name, email, IP address)
  • Browsing history or external network activity
  • Any data from files you open or export
03 / Why we collect

Improving Bobcorn for everyone

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.

04 / How we collect

GA4 Measurement Protocol, no cookies

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.

05 / How to opt out

Full control in Settings

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.

06 / Data retention

Limited retention, clear schedule

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.
