Legal

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading and using Pocket Code, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the application. You must be at least 13 years old to use Pocket Code. If you are between 13 and 16 years old, you must have parental or guardian consent.

2. License

Pocket Code is provided under an open-source license with free basic features. You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the software on compatible Android devices. Some advanced features are available through premium subscription plans (see section 13).

3. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the security of your API keys and credentials
• Compliance with third-party service terms (OpenAI, GitHub, etc.)
• Any code you write and deploy using Pocket Code, including AI-generated code
• Backing up your projects
• Costs associated with using third-party services (APIs, hosting, etc.)
• Keeping your account secure and notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

4. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Pocket Code to:

• Violate local, national, or international laws or regulations
• Infringe on intellectual property rights
• Distribute malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Abuse third-party services integrated with the app
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
• Fraudulently use subscriptions, free trials, or payment systems
• Engage in scraping, abusive automation, or attacks against our services or APIs

5. Intellectual Property

Pocket Code and its content are owned by the Pocket Code team and protected by intellectual property laws. Code you write manually in the app is yours. Code generated by AI features may be subject to licensing limitations from AI providers (see section 14).

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Pocket Code is provided 'AS IS' without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the application will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet your specific requirements.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Pocket Code team is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the application, including but not limited to: data loss, API costs, deployment issues, damages caused by AI-generated code, or any indirect or consequential damages.

8. Third-Party Services

Pocket Code integrates third-party services (GitHub, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Anthropic, Supabase, Render, among others). Your use of these services is subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for changes, interruptions, costs, or issues with third-party services.

9. Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of Pocket Code at any time without prior notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or interruption.

10. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the application after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will notify you of significant changes through in-app notifications, email, or publication on our website at least 15 days in advance.

11. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with applicable laws. For users within the European Union, the rights established in European consumer protection legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are recognized and respected.

12. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute related to these terms will first be addressed by good-faith contact at [email protected]. If it cannot be resolved, EU consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their domicile (Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, arts. 17–19) and may also submit the dispute to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr — our email for that platform is [email protected]. For all other users, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of our registered office in Spain, except where mandatory consumer law in your jurisdiction grants you alternative fora.

13. Subscriptions and Premium Plans

Pocket Code operates under a freemium model. Basic features are free, while advanced features require an active subscription.

• Subscription prices are displayed in the app and renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled
• Free trial periods, if offered, will convert to a paid subscription upon completion unless cancelled beforehand
• You can cancel your subscription at any time from Google Play settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you will retain access until that date
• Refunds are handled through Google Play Store policies. Pocket Code does not process payments directly. EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU; however, per art. 16(m) of that Directive (art. 103.m of Spanish TRLGDCU) the right does not apply once digital content delivery has begun with your prior express consent — by tapping Subscribe you give that consent and acknowledge you lose the withdrawal right
• We reserve the right to change subscription prices with at least 30 days notice. You will be notified before the new price takes effect
• If you switch to a free plan, you will lose access to premium features at the end of your billing period. Your local projects and data will not be affected

14. Artificial Intelligence and Generated Code

Pocket Code integrates artificial intelligence features (including GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, and other providers) to assist with code generation. By using these features:

• AI-generated code is provided 'as is' and it is your responsibility to review it before use
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, security, performance, or absence of errors in AI-generated code
• You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and deploying any AI-generated code in your projects
• AI-generated code may contain patterns similar to third-party code with its own licenses. It is your responsibility to verify license compatibility
• Conversations and prompts sent to AI providers are processed through their APIs. Please refer to each provider's privacy policy to learn how they handle your data. Pocket Code itself does NOT use your prompts, code or AI responses to train any model, ours or third-party

Important: Always review and test AI-generated code before using it in production. Do not blindly trust generated code for critical applications.

15. Data Protection and GDPR

We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable privacy laws.

• The legal basis for processing your data is your explicit consent and our legitimate interest in improving the service
• We only collect minimal necessary data: anonymized analytics, error reports, and performance metrics. We never access the content of your code
• You have the right to access, rectify, delete, port, and object to the processing of your personal data at any time
• We retain analytical data for a maximum of 24 months. You can request immediate deletion of your data from the app settings
• Some service providers may process data outside the European Union. In such cases, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place as required by GDPR
• To exercise your data protection rights, contact our data protection officer at [email protected]

16. Account Termination

The relationship established by these terms may be terminated under the following conditions:

• You can delete your account and associated data at any time from the app settings
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, without prior notice
• Upon termination, you will lose access to premium features, cloud-synced data, and server-stored projects
• Projects and files stored locally on your device are not affected by account termination

17. Age Restrictions

Pocket Code is designed to be used by individuals with appropriate legal capacity.

• You must be at least 13 years old to use Pocket Code. Users under 16 require parental or legal guardian consent
• We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we discover that a minor has provided data without consent, we will delete it immediately

2. How We Use Your Data

Analytics data is used solely to:

• Improve user experience on the site and app
• Understand which content and features are most useful
• Optimize site and app performance
• Make informed decisions about new features and improvements

3. The App and Your API Keys

The Pocket Code Android app does NOT collect or store any of your projects, code, or personal data on our servers. Everything stays on your device.

Important: If you choose to use the AI Copilot feature, you provide your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). These keys are stored encrypted locally on your device and are NEVER transmitted to our servers. We do not use your prompts, code or AI responses to train any model — and as of 2026 the major providers' API endpoints we call do not use customer prompts for training by default, but you should verify your specific plan with each provider.

4. Third-Party Services

When you use integrations in the app, you are subject to their respective privacy policies:

• GitHub: For repositories, version control, and GitHub Copilot
• Deployment platforms (Render, Vercel, Railway): For application deployment
• AI Services (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google): When you use your API key for the copilot
• Firebase (Google): Analytics, authentication, crash reporting, and cloud storage
• RevenueCat: Subscription and in-app purchase management

5. Data Security

We implement multiple security measures to protect your information:

• API keys are stored encrypted on your device using Android Keystore
• Communications with third-party services use TLS/SSL encryption
• We do not store passwords or credentials on our servers
• We perform regular security audits of our code and dependencies, and use StrongBox-backed AES-256-GCM where the device supports it; if a personal data breach occurs we notify the Spanish AEPD within 72 hours per art. 33 GDPR and affected users without undue delay where the risk is high

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience:

• Essential cookies: required for site functionality (language preference, session)
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics
• You can manage or disable cookies from your browser settings at any time

7. Your Rights

Under data protection legislation (including GDPR for EU users), you have the right to:

• Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure: request that we delete your personal data
• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances
• Disable cookies and tracking in your browser settings — and lodge a complaint with the Spanish Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) at aepd.es. We respond to verified rights requests within 30 days, extendable by two months for complex cases (art. 12(3) GDPR). For users in California (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil (LGPD), the UK (UK GDPR) and other jurisdictions, equivalent rights apply — write to [email protected]

8. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Website analytics data: maximum 24 months, then automatically deleted
• App analytics data (Firebase): maximum 14 months, then automatically deleted
• Local app data: stored on your device, under your full control. Deleted when you uninstall the app
• Crash reports: anonymized and retained for 90 days to improve stability
• Authentication data: retained while your account is active. You can request deletion at any time
• Subscription data: retained as required by tax legislation and Google Play policies

9. International Transfers

Some sub-processors (e.g. RevenueCat in the US) may process data outside the EU. Transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914) and, where the sub-processor self-certifies, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Decision (EU) 2023/1795). A copy of the SCCs in force is available on request at [email protected].

10. Children's Privacy

Pocket Code requires users to be at least 13 years old to use the application, due to community features including messaging and user-generated content. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app includes an age verification step during onboarding. Users between 13 and 16 must have parental or guardian consent. If you are a parent/guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date, and through in-app notifications for important changes. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
