🦀 CrabbyShell Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

CrabbyShell ("CrabbyShell", "the app", "we", "us", or "our") is a terminal shell application for Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By installing or using CrabbyShell, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

CrabbyShell is a shell, so what you type runs locally on your device and is never transmitted to us. We do not collect your command history, terminal input, or terminal output.

Information collected automatically

We use Google Firebase to understand how the app performs and is used. Through Firebase, we collect:

Category	Examples	Service
Usage & analytics	App opens, screen/feature interactions, session length, app version, language, coarse region	Firebase Analytics
Crash & diagnostics	Crash stack traces, error logs, device state at time of crash	Firebase Crashlytics
Device & technical	Device model, OS version, app instance identifiers, IP address (used transiently)	Firebase

This information is collected in aggregate or pseudonymous form and is used to diagnose problems and improve the app. We do not use it to identify you personally.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and provide the features of the app.
• To diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve stability and performance.
• To understand which features are used so we can improve the product.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

3. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following service providers, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:

• Google Firebase (Analytics & Crashlytics) — Firebase Privacy & Security and Google Privacy Policy.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your information. We share information only:

• with the service providers listed above, solely to operate the app;
• if required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; or
• to protect the rights, safety, or property of users or the public.

5. Data Retention

Analytics and crash data are retained for the period set by our Firebase configuration and Google's default retention policies, after which they are deleted or anonymized.

6. Children's Privacy

CrabbyShell is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• know what categories of personal information we collect and how we use it;
• request access to or deletion of your personal information;
• opt out of the "sale" of personal information; and
• not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Your Choices

• You can limit analytics by adjusting your device's ad/analytics settings.
• You can stop all collection by uninstalling the app.
• You can request deletion of associated data by contacting us.

9. Security

Data transmitted to Firebase is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be announced within the app or on this page.
