Redis Explorer - Privacy Policy

Overview

Redis Explorer is designed with privacy as the foundation. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Redis database management application available on Android. Our core principle is simple: your data stays on your device.

Platform: Android (Google Play Store) Minimum Android Version: 11.0 (API level 30) or higher

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Local Data Only

Redis Explorer is designed with privacy as the foundation. All your Redis connections, commands, templates, and history are stored locally on your device using encrypted database storage.

1.2 No Personal Information Collected

We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal information, connection details, commands, or usage data to our servers.

1.3 No Analytics or Tracking (Current Release)

The App does not currently include any analytics, crash reporting, or user tracking systems.

1.3.1 Planned: Crash Reporting Integration

Redis Explorer is planning to integrate Firebase Crashlytics in a future release to improve app stability and reliability. When implemented, Crashlytics will collect:

• ✅ Stack traces from non-fatal crashes (anonymized, no personal data)
• ✅ Basic error context to help diagnose issues

Crashlytics will NEVER collect:

• ❌ Redis connection credentials or passwords
• ❌ Redis commands you execute
• ❌ Pub/Sub messages or channel subscriptions
• ❌ Your Redis data or keys
• ❌ Personal information

The Privacy Policy will be updated immediately when Crashlytics is integrated to reflect the specific data collection practices.

1.4 What We DON'T Collect

• ❌ Redis connection credentials
• ❌ Commands executed in the CLI terminal
• ❌ Pub/Sub messages and subscriptions
• ❌ Usage analytics or app behavior data
• ❌ Device information or identifiers
• ❌ Location data
• ❌ Contact information
• ❌ Crash reports or diagnostic data
• ❌ Advertising identifiers

1.5 What We DO Collect

• ✅ Nothing by default - The App works entirely offline
• ✅ Your own Redis credentials (stored locally and encrypted)

2. How We Use Information

2.1 Local Processing

All connection management, command execution, and data organization occur entirely on your device.

2.2 No Server Communication

The App does not communicate with our servers or third-party services for any core functionality. All communication is exclusively between your device and your own Redis servers.

2.3 Direct Connection Flow

The only external communication occurs when you establish a connection to your own Redis server:

1. Input: You provide connection details (host, port, password)
2. Storage: Credentials are encrypted and stored locally
3. Connection: App connects directly to your Redis server
4. Commands: All commands are executed on your Redis server only
5. Results: Results are returned directly to your device
6. No Intermediary: Data does NOT pass through our servers

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Encryption

• Android Keystore: All sensitive credentials are encrypted using Android Keystore with AES-256 encryption
• Device Storage: Encrypted data is stored in the device's internal storage
• Database Encryption: Room database supports encrypted storage for additional protection

3.2 SSH Tunnel Security

SSH tunnel credentials are encrypted and stored locally using the same Android Keystore encryption.

3.3 Network Security

The app enforces secure network communications:

• TLS/SSL support for Redis connections
• Certificate verification enabled by default
• SSH tunnels for additional security layers
• No cleartext traffic for sensitive data

3.4 No Cloud Backup

Your connection details and command history are not backed up to cloud services. They remain only on your device.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 No Third-Party Integration

Redis Explorer does not integrate with third-party services for data collection or analytics. All connections are exclusively to your own Redis servers.

4.2 Google Play Services

The App uses Google Play Services for:

• In-app purchases (if available)
• App updates

These services do not collect your connection data or usage information.

5. Your Rights and Choices

5.1 Data Access

You have full access to all data stored in Redis Explorer:

• All connection configurations
• All command history
• All message templates
• All database and key information

5.2 Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time:

• Delete individual connections
• Clear command history
• Delete message templates
• Uninstall the app to remove all local data

5.3 GDPR Compliance

While Redis Explorer does not collect personal data, we comply with GDPR principles:

• Data Minimization: We collect nothing
• Purpose Limitation: Not applicable
• Storage Limitation: Your data stays on your device indefinitely
• Right to Erasure: Delete any data within the app anytime

5.4 Data Portability

You can export your connections and templates to compatible formats through manual documentation.

6. Children's Privacy

Redis Explorer is designed for professional database administrators and developers, not children. However, if you are under 13 years old, please do not use this application. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

7. Security Considerations

7.1 Device Security

Your device security is crucial. To protect your Redis credentials:

• Use a device lock (PIN, password, or biometric)
• Keep your Android device updated
• Install apps only from trusted sources

7.2 Redis Server Security

You remain responsible for:

• Your Redis server security configuration
• Network security for your Redis instances
• Access control and authentication
• Password strength for Redis instances

7.3 SSH Tunnel Security

If using SSH tunnels, ensure your SSH server is:

• Properly configured and maintained
• Updated with security patches
• Protected with strong authentication

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective when posted to the App. Your continued use of Redis Explorer constitutes acceptance of our updated Privacy Policy.
