Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how our app—an offline semantic search engine—handles your data.

Offline Operation and Data Privacy
PocketSearchEngine is designed to work entirely offline. All data processing takes place locally on your device, which means your search queries, PDF contents, and any other information remain private. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or usage information to external servers.

No External Communication
Your data never leaves your device. The application does not communicate with external servers during normal operation. The only exception is an optional initial download of a pre-populated database, which is performed solely at your discretion. Once downloaded, all functions of the app work without requiring an internet connection.

Local Data Storage
All files and documents you use within the app are stored locally on your device. This approach ensures that you retain complete control over your data, with no risk of it being accessed or shared externally.

Security
By processing everything on-device, PocketSearchEngine minimizes risks associated with transmitting data over the internet. We encourage you to follow standard device security practices, such as keeping your system updated and using strong passwords, to further protect your information.

Third-Party References and Open Source Licenses
Our app may include references to open source licenses and support information for transparency. These references do not involve any external data processing or collection, and your data remains confined to your device.

By using PocketSearchEngine, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
