Privacy Policy

How the PadBuddy app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad ("the app") handles your information. The app is an unofficial, third-party client for CoderPad, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by CoderPad, Inc.
Summary
The app collects, transmits, and sells no personal data. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no developer-operated server. It talks only to CoderPad's own API, using an API key you supply.
What the app stores, and where
- Your CoderPad API key is a synchronizable Apple Keychain item. If iCloud Keychain is enabled for your Apple Account, Apple may synchronize it across your trusted devices. The app otherwise sends it only to your configured CoderPad API.
- Selected preferences and favorites can synchronize through Apple's iCloud key-value store when iCloud is available. This includes pad/question sorting and filters, saved-search state, appearance, notification and browser preferences, favorite identifiers, and favorite ordering.
- Cached CoderPad content and device-specific UI state stay in the app's local container and are not uploaded by the app.
What the app sends, and to whom
Requests go directly from your device to CoderPad's API (https://app.coderpad.io, or a
self-hosted/regional URL you configure) to read and manage the pads, questions, organization, and
quota your account already accesses, authenticated with your API key. CoderPad's handling of that
data is governed by CoderPad's privacy policy, not this one.
Data collection
The app collects no data for the developer. Its bundled
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest declares no tracking, no tracking domains, and no
collected data types.
Children
The app contains no objectionable content, is suitable for all ages, and knowingly collects no information from anyone, including children.
Your control
Remove your API key and local account data at any time by removing the account in Settings; this also removes its account-scoped favorites from the app's iCloud store. Disable iCloud access for PadBuddy in your system Apple Account settings to stop further preference and favorite synchronization. Deleting the app removes local data; Apple controls retention of synchronized Keychain and iCloud data. There are no developer-side accounts to delete.
