Here is a comprehensive, customizable Privacy Policy tailored for a mobile keyboard application (iOS/Android).
Last Updated: [Date]
This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Company/Developer Name] ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the [Keyboard Name] mobile application (the "App").
Your privacy is extremely important to us. Keyboards process sensitive input, and we are committed to being completely transparent about how your data is handled.
Unlike many standard apps, keyboard applications handle direct typing input. We want to be clear about what we never collect:
Personal Keystrokes & Typing Data: We do not log, record, store, or transmit what you type (e.g., passwords, usernames, credit card details, private messages, search queries, or personal notes).
Sensitive Inputs: We do not access password fields, credit card fields, or secure text inputs. Mobile operating systems (iOS and Android) automatically isolate sensitive input fields from third-party keyboards.
Personal Identity Information: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or contacts unless you explicitly provide them to us (e.g., via customer support).
Depending on how you use [Keyboard Name], we may collect limited, non-identifiable data to ensure the App functions properly:
Custom Dictionary & Learned Words: Words you add to your personal dictionary or custom auto-correct rules are stored locally on your device. This data is never sent to our servers.
Theme & Settings Preferences: App customization choices (such as themes, keyboard height, and haptic feedback settings) remain on your device.
To fix bugs and improve performance, we may collect anonymous crash reports and system analytics using third-party services (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics or Apple App Analytics). This includes:
Device model and operating system version.
App crash logs and performance metrics.
Aggregated feature usage (e.g., how often emoji suggestions are used).
This data contains no personal identifiers or keystroke information.
iOS requires keyboards to request "Full Access" to enable certain features like custom sound effects, cloud-based themes, or haptic feedback.
Granting Full Access does NOT grant us permission to read or transmit your keystrokes.
If Full Access is disabled, the keyboard will still function for basic typing, but network-dependent features or local haptics may be limited.
Android prompts you to activate [Keyboard Name] as an active Input Method Editor (IME). Android displays a standard warning for all third-party keyboards.
We do not use these system permissions to capture or monitor your keystrokes.
We use the minimal data collected strictly to:
Operate, maintain, and improve [Keyboard Name].
Diagnose technical issues and fix application crashes.
Respond to customer service inquiries or support requests.
We may use third-party service providers to help us analyze app performance:
Google Firebase / Crashlytics (Crash reporting and usage analytics)
Apple App Analytics (App performance data)
These third parties collect information under their own privacy policies. None of these services receive keystroke or personal input data from [Keyboard Name].
We implement industry-standard technical measures to safeguard the limited data we process. Because your typing data and personal dictionary stay locally on your device, it remains protected by your device's built-in security features (e.g., passcode, biometric lock, encryption).
[Keyboard Name] does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
