Privacy

Updated November 9, 2026

Kernir does not collect any data.

• It has no analytics and no tracking.
• It does not connect to the internet. The app does not use the network.
• It has no account and no sign-in.
• It includes no third-party code that collects data, and shares nothing with third parties.

Kernir works only with the archives and files you choose. They are opened, changed and saved on your device, and they never leave it. If you type a password for an encrypted archive, it is kept in memory while that archive is open. If you choose to remember it, it is saved in your device’s Keychain. It is never sent anywhere.

The app is free and open source under the MIT license, so you can read exactly what it does.

This website

This site runs on the developer’s own server. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to see how the site is used. These Google services can set cookies and collect usage data, such as the pages you visit, your browser and device, and your approximate location. Google handles this data as described in Google’s privacy policy.

Every visitor is asked first, and analytics cookies are only set after you accept. You can change your choice with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

Like most web servers, the site’s server may keep standard access logs (IP address, time, page requested and browser), used only to keep the site running and secure.

The home page asks GitHub’s public API for the project’s star and download counts, so your browser also connects to GitHub, as described in GitHub’s privacy statement.
