Privacy Policy

Data We Collect

CyberWatch is a fully client-side application. We do not operate any backend server. We do not track your usage.

The app stores the following on your device only:

• Invite code (after you enter one)
• Display name you choose
• Custom profile picture (as a base64 data URL, from v1.1.0+)
• XP progress, bookmarks, quiz results
• Post drafts and comments
• Settings preferences (font scale, theme, feed sort)

All of this data is stored in your browser's localStorage (web version) or the Android WebView's local storage (APK version). It never leaves your device.

Data We Share

None. We have no servers, no backend, no analytics, and no third-party trackers.

Third-Party APIs

The app fetches public data from the following third-party APIs at runtime to show live threat intelligence:

• Hacker News — news.ycombinator.com
• Reddit — reddit.com (r/netsec and r/cybersecurity)
• NVD / NIST — nvd.nist.gov (CVE vulnerability data)
• CoinGecko — coingecko.com (cryptocurrency prices)

These services may log the IP address of your request per their own privacy policies. CyberWatch does not add any tracking on top, and we don't receive any information back from them beyond the public data they return.

Cookies

CyberWatch does not set any cookies. Invite codes and user state are stored in localStorage, which is separate from cookies and is not automatically sent to any server.

Your Rights

You can delete all data at any time:

• Web version: clear your browser's site data for ccguvycu.github.io
• APK version: Android Settings → Apps → CyberWatch → Storage → Clear Data

There is no sign-up, no account, and no server-side data — so there is nothing to request or delete from us.

Children

CyberWatch is educational content about cybersecurity. It is suitable for ages 13+. It does not collect personal information from children, because it does not collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the new revision. Significant changes will be called out in the app itself.
