Our Commitment to Privacy
The SemFolder is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe your academic data is yours and yours alone. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
Local-First Data Storage
All your data is stored locally on your device. This means:
- Your semesters, courses, and materials never leave your device
- We don't have access to your academic information
- No cloud syncing or server uploads
- Your data remains under your complete control
Data We Do NOT Collect
The SemFolder does not collect, store, or transmit:
- Personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
- Academic records or course information
- Files, notes, or study materials
- Usage patterns or behavior tracking
- Location data
- Device identifiers
No User Accounts Required
The SemFolder does not require you to create an account, sign up, or log in. You can use the app immediately without providing any personal information.
No Tracking or Analytics
We do not use any analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party services to monitor your usage of the app. Your activity within The SemFolder is completely private.
No Advertisements
The SemFolder is completely ad-free. We don't show ads, and we don't work with advertising networks that track users.
Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device:
- Your device's security measures protect your data
- We recommend using device encryption and secure passwords
- Regular backups are your responsibility
- Data is only as secure as your device
Children's Privacy
The SemFolder is suitable for users of all ages, including students under 13. Since we don't collect any personal information, there are no special privacy concerns for younger users.
Third-Party Services
The SemFolder does not integrate with or share data with any third-party services, social networks, or external platforms.
Your Rights
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:
- Access: You can access all your data directly in the app
- Modify: You can edit or update any information at any time
- Delete: You can delete courses, semesters, or all data whenever you want
- Export: Your data remains on your device and can be backed up using your device's backup features
