The application does not collect analytics data, usage telemetry, advertising identifiers, device fingerprints, or background behavioral metrics. No automatic data transmission to developer-controlled servers occurs.

AI-assisted code completion is an optional feature. External network communication only occurs when a user explicitly enables AI completion and selects an external AI provider within the application settings.

When AI completion is triggered, the application transmits only the minimal contextual text necessary to generate a completion suggestion. This typically includes the code immediately

surrounding the cursor position or the active selection.

The application does not automatically transmit full project folders, unrelated files, entire file system contents, contact data, location data, or device-specific identifiers.

Authentication credentials (API keys) for external AI providers are stored securely in the system keychain and are transmitted only to the user-selected provider for the purpose of completing the AI request.

All external communication is performed over encrypted HTTPS connections. If AI completion is disabled, the application performs no external AI-related network requests.
