Overview

Information We Collect
- We do not collect any personal information from our users. Our apps and extensions are designed to operate without the need for any data collection.
Information We Don’t Collect
- Personal Data: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information
- Usage Analytics: We do not track your usage patterns or behaviour
- Account Information: No account creation or login is required
- Content Data: Your markdown content and Jekyll posts remain entirely in your iCloud drive or local device.
Local Storage Only
- All your data is stored locally on your device
- Settings and preferences are saved in your browser’s local storage (Chrome extension if applicable) or iCloud (iOS or iPadOS apps)
- No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services
How We Use Information
Since we don’t collect personal information, we cannot use it. All processing happens locally on your device:

- JSON files for archiving or export.
- Local settings management and preferences storage.
- Keyboard shortcuts and user interface interactions.
Data Security

- No Data Transmission: Your content never leaves your device or iCloud drive
- Device Security: Your data security depends on your device’s security measures
Third-Party Services
Neither Hiyd nor thechelsuk integrates with or shares data with any third-party services. The app operates entirely offline after installation.
Children’s Privacy
Our app does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since no data is collected, COPPA compliance is inherent in our design.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
