Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Pinokio is a web browser app for iPhone and iPad. This document explains exactly what data the app processes, where it goes, and how you can stop or delete it.

Short version: Pinokio has no servers, no user accounts, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. The only data it stores lives on your device and goes away when you uninstall the app.

1. What we collect

Nothing is sent off your device by the Pinokio app itself. Specifically:

2. What stays on your device

The following data is stored locally on your device only and is removed when you delete the app:

3. What websites can collect

When you visit a website in Pinokio, that website can do the same things it would do in any other browser: set cookies, store data in your browser, request information you type. Pinokio does not modify or augment what websites can collect; it does not inject tracking scripts or strip privacy protections. Use site permissions in your device settings if you want to restrict third-party content.

4. Network

The Pinokio app makes no network requests of its own. All network traffic you see in Pinokio is initiated by the websites you visit, by Apple's WebKit subsystem, or by you (typing a URL). The app does not phone home with any usage data, error reports, or update checks beyond the App Store's standard mechanism.

5. Children

Pinokio is rated 17+ on the App Store because, like any general-purpose browser, it can load any website. The app itself does not target children, does not contain advertising, and does not collect data from any user.

6. Your rights

Because Pinokio holds no data about you outside your device, there is no remote account to delete, no remote profile to access, and no remote vendor to contact. To erase everything Pinokio stores: delete the app. iOS will remove all of its on-device data as part of the standard uninstall.

7. Contact

If you have a question about this policy, the fastest path is to open a GitHub issue. For private inquiries, use the developer support email registered with Apple in App Store Connect (also reachable via the App Store listing). The app is published by Aleksandar Kordić as an individual developer.

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at pinokio.gepeto.tech/privacy.html with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be noted in the App Store version notes.
