Pale Ink
Privacy
Pale Ink collects nothing. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
The app makes no network requests
Pale Ink is a browser. Every byte it displays comes from the address you typed. The app itself sends nothing anywhere — no usage reports, no crash reports, no device information.
What stays on your phone
Your display settings and current address; canvas placements remembered per address; the pages you saved, with the look you gave them; and one flag recording whether you have seen the gesture tour. All of it lives on the device, is removed when you delete the app, and is never synced or uploaded.
The pages you open
Sites you visit see you exactly as they would in any browser. Their own cookies, scripts and analytics have nothing to do with Pale Ink and are not under its control. That data never passes through us; we can neither see it nor store it.
The built-in home page
The ornament page fetches a gold price from CoinGecko and, only if you add the parameters, follower and star counts from the GitHub public API. Both are unauthenticated public requests issued by the web page on your device, carrying no identity. We receive nothing and store nothing. Point the address somewhere else and they stop.
Subscriptions
The free trial and the subscription both go through the App Store. We never receive your payment details and do not need them. The receipt is held on the device by the system; Pale Ink only reads it to answer one question — whether the app is currently unlocked.
Children
Pale Ink collects no data, so it collects no data from children either. It is, however, a browser that can open any address, and parents should be aware of that.
