Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 19, 2026 — Last Updated: March 19, 2026

CodeIn is an open-source AI coding IDE developed by inBharat AI. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how data is handled.

1. Data We Do NOT Collect

CodeIn is designed with a local-first architecture. By default:

We do not collect, store, or transmit your source code to our servers.
We do not collect personal information, usage analytics, or telemetry without your explicit consent.
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties.
We do not track your browsing behavior, keystrokes, or file contents.

2. Data That May Be Transmitted

When you explicitly choose to use cloud AI providers, the following data is sent directly to the provider you select:

Code snippets and prompts — sent to AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) only when you initiate a request.
Voice audio — if you use voice features with cloud STT/TTS providers (Azure, Google Cloud), audio is processed by those services.
API keys — your API keys are stored locally on your device and sent only to the respective provider endpoints. We never see or store them.

Each third-party provider has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google.

3. Local AI (Offline Mode)

When using local AI models (llama.cpp / Qwen), all processing happens entirely on your device. No data leaves your machine. No internet connection is required.

4. Data Storage

Chat history — stored locally in your browser/Electron app storage. Never transmitted.
Settings and preferences — stored locally in your app data directory.
API keys — stored in your local keyring/keychain or configuration files.
Agent memory — multi-agent swarm memory is held in-process and cleared on session end.

5. Crash Reports and Error Logging

CodeIn does not automatically send crash reports or error logs. If you choose to submit a bug report on GitHub, you control exactly what information is shared.

6. Cookies and Tracking

The CodeIn desktop application does not use cookies or tracking pixels. The landing page (codein.pro) uses no third-party analytics or tracking scripts.

7. Children's Privacy

CodeIn is a developer tool not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Open Source Transparency

CodeIn is 100% open source under the Apache-2.0 License. You can audit every line of code to verify our privacy claims. Our source code is at github.com/inbharat-ai/codein.pro.

9. Your Rights

Since CodeIn stores data locally on your device, you have full control:

Access — all your data is on your device, accessible anytime.
Delete — clear app data from your device settings or uninstall the application.
Portability — your data is in standard formats you can export.
Consent — cloud AI features require your explicit action (clicking "Send").

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. For significant changes, we will note it in our release notes.
