Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 2026 · Official Privacy & Data Safety Policy for Google Play & Apple App Store

Summary: Server by ShanApps is a 100% offline, local database management application. We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information, database records, schema data, or telemetry. All your databases and files reside strictly within your device's isolated application sandbox.

1. Foundational Privacy Principles

Server by ShanApps was architected from day one around the principle of zero cloud telemetry and absolute privacy:

  • 100% Offline by Default: The server engine runs directly on your local hardware. No remote servers, cloud databases, or third-party analytical endpoints are contacted.
  • Zero Telemetry & Tracking: We do not track the collections you create, queries you run, API rules you configure, or your admin credentials.
  • Sandboxed File Storage: All SQLite databases (/server_data_<port>/data.db) and file uploads stay strictly within your device's operating-system-enforced app sandbox.
  • No Third-Party Ad SDKs: Server by ShanApps contains zero advertising networks, tracking pixels, or data broker libraries.

2. Data Collection & Processing

Server by ShanApps collects ZERO (0) personal data, device identifiers, IP addresses, or app usage metrics:

  • No Analytics SDKs: No Google Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, or similar tools are embedded in the app.
  • No Remote Query Logging: Database queries, table structures, and request payloads never leave your physical device.
  • No Account Registration: No user account, email sign-up, or online authentication is required to use Server by ShanApps.

3. Operating System Permissions Used

Server by ShanApps requests only the minimum OS permissions necessary to execute a local HTTP web and SQLite server:

  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE (Android): Required to keep the background server active when the application is minimized, ensuring uninterrupted HTTP and SSE subscriptions for your development apps.
  • INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows the server to bind to local loopback ports (e.g., 127.0.0.1:8090) and receive incoming API calls from local client applications or Wi-Fi connected devices.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): Required by Android to display the persistent notification while the server is actively running, providing instant port information and a one-tap Stop Server action.
  • LOCAL NETWORK ACCESS (iOS / iPadOS): Required by iOS to allow external devices on your local Wi-Fi router to send API requests to your local server instance.

4. Google Play Data Safety & Apple Privacy Nutrition Labels

In full compliance with Google Play Data Safety and Apple App Store Privacy Nutrition guidelines:

  • Data Collected: None (0 categories collected).
  • Data Shared: None (0 third parties receive data).
  • Tracking: Not tracked (app does not track users across other apps or websites).
  • Data Security: All data is stored locally in OS-sandboxed storage with native device encryption where supported.
