PGPony Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 3, 2026

PGPony ("the App") is developed by Kevin Stewart ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information. The short version: we don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

1. Information We Collect

PGPony does not collect any personal information. We do not use analytics, tracking, advertising SDKs, or any form of telemetry. The App does not communicate with any servers owned or operated by us.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

All data created or used by PGPony stays on your device:

• PGP Keys: Private keys are stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain, Apple's hardware-backed secure storage. Key metadata (name, email, algorithm, creation date) is stored locally using SwiftData.
• Encrypted/Decrypted Content: All encryption and decryption operations happen entirely on your device. No plaintext or ciphertext is transmitted to any server.
• Contact Information: If you grant permission, the App reads your Contacts to display contact photos alongside keys. Contact data is used only for display purposes, is cached in memory only, and is never stored persistently or transmitted.

3. Third-Party Services

PGPony interacts with the following third-party services only when you explicitly initiate the action:

• keys.openpgp.org: When you choose to upload your public key to a key server, your public key and associated email address are sent to keys.openpgp.org. This is governed by their own privacy policy.
• keys.openpgp.org (search): When you search for someone else's public key, the search query (email or key ID) is sent to keys.openpgp.org.

No other network requests are made by the App.

4. Biometric Data

If you enable biometric lock (Face ID or Touch ID), authentication is handled entirely by Apple's Local Authentication framework. PGPony never accesses, processes, or stores biometric data.

5. Clipboard

When you copy encrypted or decrypted text, PGPony places it on your device's clipboard. If auto-clear is enabled (on by default), the clipboard is automatically wiped after your chosen interval. Clipboard contents are never transmitted.

6. Children's Privacy

PGPony is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, rent, or trade any user data with third parties. There is no data to share because we do not collect any.

8. Data Retention

Since we do not collect data, there is nothing to retain. All data on your device is under your control and can be deleted by removing the App.

9. Your Rights

Because PGPony does not collect or process personal data, there is no data for us to provide, correct, or delete. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
