Privacy Policy
The short version: Pythona is a local-first development tool. Your code, files, and console output stay on your device (or in your own iCloud). We operate no accounts and no content servers, and we cannot see anything you write or run. Pythona collects no analytics and contains no tracking — we receive nothing about you or what you do in the app.
1. Who we are
Pythona is developed and operated by COB. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at pythona@seedos.me.
2. What stays on your device
Everything you create or run in Pythona is processed locally:
- Your scripts, notebooks, and files — stored on your device, or in your iCloud Drive / a folder you explicitly choose. We have no access to any of these locations.
- Console input and output, REPL history, and editor state.
- Python packages you install (downloaded directly to your device, see section 4).
- App settings and preferences.
Pythona has no user accounts and no sign-in. We run no servers that store user content.
3. No analytics or tracking
Pythona collects no usage analytics. The app contains no analytics or tracking SDKs, sends no usage events of any kind — not even anonymous counts — and uses no advertising identifiers. In particular, we never receive:
- Your code, files, file names, or any of their contents.
- Anything you type, run, or output in the app.
- Your name, email address, precise location, or any other personal details.
- Records of how or when you use the app, or which features you open.
Pythona contains no ads. We do not track you across apps or websites, and there is no usage data for us to sell or share, because none is collected.
4. Network connections you initiate
As a development tool, Pythona makes network connections only when you ask it to:
- Package installation downloads packages directly from the Python Package Index (PyPI) or its mirrors.
- Your own scripts may access the network — for example to call an API or download a dataset or model. That traffic goes directly from your device to whatever service your code contacts; it does not pass through us, and we cannot see it.
Third-party services you reach this way (such as PyPI) handle your connection under their own privacy policies.
5. Device permissions
Pythona requests system permissions only when a feature you invoke needs them:
- Photos — when your script uses the photos module to pick or save images. Selected media is handed to your script on device.
- Camera and microphone — when your script uses them (for example in interactive scene demos). Captured data is processed on device by your script.
- iCloud Drive / Files — when you choose to store your scripts there.
None of this media or data is transmitted to us.
6. Purchases
Pythona Pro is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple's App Store. We never receive your payment details. Your purchase status is verified on device through Apple's StoreKit framework, and free-trial state is stored locally on your device.
7. Data retention and your choices
We hold no data about you — no accounts, no analytics, no server-side profile — so there is nothing on our side for us to retain, retrieve, correct, or delete. Everything lives on your device and is under your control; deleting the app deletes its local data.
8. Children
Pythona does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app contains no ads, no social features, and no user accounts.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change what data the app handles — for example when introducing new features — we will update this policy and the date at the top of this page before the change ships. Significant changes will also be noted in the App Store release notes.
