Keyboard Shortcuts Library
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 5, 2026
Welcome to KeyGuide. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the KeyGuide mobile application handles information when you use its keyboard shortcut library, search, favorites, custom collections, practice quizzes, and other features.
1. Information We Collect
KeyGuide is designed as an offline-first application. You do not need to create an account, register, or provide personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number to use its core features.
Information you may create or save includes:
- Favorite keyboard shortcuts.
- Custom shortcut collections and their contents.
- Quiz answers, progress, and learning records, if stored by the app.
- Application preferences and settings.
The shortcut library may also include predefined reference information about keyboard combinations, platforms, applications, and shortcut categories.
2. Local Data Storage
Your favorites, custom collections, quiz progress, and preferences are stored locally on your device using the app's local storage system.
KeyGuide does not require a cloud account or online synchronization service for its core functionality. Your locally stored information remains on your device unless you choose to export or share it, or your device handles it through operating system backup features.
3. Offline Functionality
KeyGuide is designed to provide access to its bundled keyboard shortcut reference library without requiring an internet connection.
Core features such as browsing shortcuts, searching the available library, managing favorites, using custom collections, and practicing quizzes are designed for offline use.
4. Clipboard Access
KeyGuide may use Android clipboard functionality when you choose to copy a keyboard shortcut or combination.
The app uses this functionality to help you copy shortcut information for use in other applications. KeyGuide does not need to read your existing clipboard contents for this copy feature.
Once copied, clipboard information is handled according to your Android device's operating system and the application where you paste it.
5. Favorites and Custom Collections
KeyGuide allows you to save shortcuts and organize them into personal collections. These records are stored locally so you can access and manage them within the app.
You can add, remove, and organize your saved shortcuts according to your preferences.
6. Quiz and Learning Progress
The app may store quiz-related information such as selected answers, completed questions, difficulty preferences, and learning progress.
This information is used to support the app's learning and practice features. It is stored locally where the relevant functionality is implemented.
7. Data Export and Import
KeyGuide provides JSON export and import functionality to help you back up or restore supported app data.
An exported backup may contain your favorites, custom collections, and other supported saved information. If you choose to share or store this file through another application or service, its handling will be governed by that service's privacy policy.
You are responsible for keeping exported backup files secure and importing files from trusted sources.
8. Data Sharing
KeyGuide does not sell your personal information. Its core offline features are designed to work without sending your saved shortcut collections, favorites, or quiz records to our servers.
Information may be shared outside the app if you voluntarily export a file and share it through another application or service.
9. Third-Party Services
The core functionality described in this policy is designed to work without mandatory third-party accounts or cloud services.
If analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or other third-party SDKs are included in the published version, their data collection and processing practices must be disclosed in this policy and in the applicable Google Play Data Safety declaration.
10. Data Security
We aim to protect information stored by KeyGuide through the security features provided by Android and the app's local storage architecture.
However, no electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We recommend protecting your device with a screen lock and storing exported backup files in secure locations.
11. Data Retention and Deletion
Your saved information remains on your device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the application, subject to Android backup and device storage behavior.
If the app provides a clear-data or delete option, you can use it to remove supported locally stored information. Consider exporting a backup first if you want to retain your collections.
12. Children's Privacy
KeyGuide is a general-purpose productivity and reference application. It does not require account creation for its core features.
We do not knowingly use the app's core functionality to collect personal information from children. If you believe personal information has been provided to us in connection with the app, please contact us.
13. Your Privacy Choices
You can manage your information by:
- Choosing what information you save in the app.
- Managing favorites and custom collections.
- Exporting supported data as a backup.
- Removing saved information where supported.
- Clearing app data through Android settings.
- Uninstalling the application from your device.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when application features, data practices, or applicable requirements change. Any revised version will be published with an updated revision date.
