ERICK Keyboard Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 31, 2026

ERICK is designed to work on your device. This means your typing stays with you.

What ERICK does not collect

ERICK does not collect, store, or send your typed text, passwords, personal data, analytics, or usage history.

How typing works

ERICK processes input locally on your device and passes the result to the app you are using. Word suggestions and correction also run on-device.

Internet and network access

ERICK is built to work offline. It does not rely on internet access to provide typing, prediction, or correction.

Settings stored on your device

Preferences such as layout choice, colors, font settings, and accessibility options are stored locally using normal platform storage. They are there so the keyboard remembers your choices.

Third-party services

ERICK does not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Data sharing

ERICK does not share any data with third parties. There is no data to share because no data is collected.

Data retention and deletion

Since ERICK does not collect or store any personal data, there is no data to retain or delete. Your locally stored preferences are automatically removed when you uninstall the app.

Security

Because ERICK collects no data and requires no network access, there is no risk of data breach or unauthorized access to user information through the app. All keyboard processing happens in an isolated on-device environment.

Children's privacy (COPPA and GDPR-K)

ERICK does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 (or under 16 in applicable jurisdictions). No information is collected from any user of any age. The app contains no in-app purchases, advertisements, or external links that could expose children to harmful content.

International users (GDPR, CCPA)

ERICK is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar privacy regulations worldwide. Since no personal data is collected, processed, or stored, there is no data subject to these regulations.

Apple App Store (App Tracking Transparency)

ERICK does not track users across other companies' apps or websites. It does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) or any other device identifiers for tracking purposes.

Google Play (Data Safety)

In accordance with Google Play's Data Safety section: ERICK collects no data, shares no data with third parties, and does not use any Android permissions related to data collection (no internet, no contacts, no location, no storage beyond app-local preferences).
