Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 7, 2026

Effective Date: July 7, 2026

Revision: 1.1

Revision History

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Sia Makerlab ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of the SQLite Client mobile application (the "App").

The App is an Android client for opening, creating, editing, querying, importing, exporting, and maintaining local SQLite database files on your device. The package name remains com.siamakerlab.sqliteviewer.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

The App does not require an account and does not ask you to provide personal contact information to us. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, or payment card details.

Payment information for the optional ad-removal purchase is processed by Google Play. We do not receive your payment card number, billing address, or other financial credentials.

2.2 Local Device Data

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

• App settings: theme, language, rows per page, text wrapping, privacy/ad settings, backup settings, and related preferences stored with Android DataStore Preferences
• Recent files: local URI strings, display names, and timestamps for recently opened database files
• Query history and bookmarks: SQL text that you choose to run or save in the App
• Working cache copies: local copies of database files used for editing, query execution, import/export, and write-back safety
• Automatic backups: backup copies created before writing changes back to the original file, when the feature is enabled
• Export files: temporary export outputs in the App cache before you save or share them

This data stays on your device. We do not operate a server that receives your database files, SQL queries, schemas, table data, backups, exports, recent-file list, or settings.

2.3 Database Files and User Content

You choose database files through Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF), by creating a new database, or by sending/opening a file from another app. The App can read and, when you save, write the files for which Android grants access.

The App may process:

• SQLite database files and their contents
• Table schemas, indexes, triggers, views, PRAGMA values, and metadata
• SQL statements that you type or run
• Imported CSV or JSON files
• BLOB values imported into or exported from a database
• SQLCipher passwords that you enter to open, encrypt, re-encrypt, or decrypt a database

These items are processed locally on your device. We do not collect or upload them. SQLCipher passwords are used locally for database encryption/decryption and are not sent to us.

2.4 Third-Party Data Collection

The App integrates Google services that may collect data according to Google's policies:

Google may process device identifiers, Advertising ID, IP address, coarse location inferred from network data, app interaction data, purchase status, and other data described in Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

2.5 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect:

• Your database contents, schemas, table names, query results, SQL history, or exported data
• Your SQLCipher passwords or encryption keys
• Your local file contents, except as processed locally by the App
• Precise GPS location
• Contacts, photos, microphone, camera, biometric, health, or fitness data
• Account credentials for any external database server

3. Permissions and File Access

The App uses the following Android capabilities:

• Internet (INTERNET): used for Google ads, consent, billing/update/review related Google Play services, and network state dependent behavior. Database operations are local and do not require our server.
• Network state (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): used to determine network availability for Google services such as ads and updates.
• Storage Access Framework: used when you choose files to open, create, save, import, or export. The App does not request broad all-files storage access.
• FileProvider: used to share exported files or database files with other apps through Android content:// URIs with temporary access grants.

4. How We Use Information

Local data is used to:

• Open, create, edit, query, and save SQLite databases
• Maintain recent files, SQL history, bookmarks, and settings
• Import CSV/JSON data and export CSV/JSON/SQL/Markdown outputs
• Perform integrity checks, foreign-key checks, VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX, PRAGMA edits, schema diffs, ERD diagrams, and charts
• Provide write-back safety through cache copies, automatic backups, integrity checks, undo/redo, and read-only fallback when the original file cannot be written
• Open or save SQLCipher-encrypted databases when you provide the password

Third-party services are used to display ads, manage consent, process the optional ad-removal purchase, offer app updates, and show optional Play review prompts.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information and do not share your database files, SQL queries, or database contents with our own servers.

The App may share data only when:

• You explicitly export, save, copy, or share data through Android system flows
• Android grants another app temporary access to a shared file through FileProvider
• Google services process advertising, consent, purchase, update, or review data according to Google's policies
• Disclosure is required by law or a valid legal request

6. Data Retention and Backup

Local data remains on your device until you delete it, clear App data, uninstall the App, or remove individual files/entries where the App provides that option.

Working cache and temporary export files may be cleaned by the App or Android. Automatic backups are stored in the App's private files area and may be removed according to your backup retention setting.

Android Auto Backup is enabled for ordinary settings, but the App excludes recent-file DataStore, query-history DataStore, and the internal backups/ folder from cloud backup and device transfer rules. This is intended to avoid backing up local database paths, SQL history, and database backup copies through Android backup.

7. Your Choices

You can:

• Clear local App data or uninstall the App to remove local settings, cache, history, and backups
• Delete exported files wherever you saved them
• Revoke file permissions through Android system settings or by clearing App data
• Manage advertising consent in the App where available and through Android/Google ad settings
• Purchase the optional "Remove Ads" product through Google Play
• Manage Google Play purchase, refund, and account controls through Google Play

For data processed by Google services, contact Google or use Google's privacy controls.

8. Data Security

The App is designed around local processing and file-specific access:

• Files are selected through SAF rather than broad storage permission
• Editing is performed on a local cache copy before save
• Saves use safeguards such as automatic backup, WAL checkpointing, integrity checks, and read-only fallback when write access is unavailable
• SQL values are parameterized where applicable and identifiers are quoted by the App
• SQLCipher support is available for encrypted databases
• Release logging is disabled for sensitive operational data

No electronic storage or software system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups and protecting passwords for encrypted databases.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA where applicable. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. International Data Transfers

Local database processing occurs on your device. Google services integrated into the App may process data in countries outside your residence according to Google's Privacy Policy and applicable safeguards.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last Updated" date and may show in-app notices for material changes. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
