13. Data Collection, Privacy, and User Rights Notice
BubblesTheDev is committed to protecting user privacy.
The BubblesTheDev Web Browser is designed around local-first handling of browser data, user control, transparency, accessibility-focused improvements, and privacy-focused defaults.
The BubblesTheDev Web Browser does not include built-in telemetry, built-in analytics services for ordinary browsing, built-in behavioral advertising profiles, or built-in cloud synchronization by default.
Specifically:
- No telemetry services are embedded in the Software.
- No background analytics services are executed.
- No behavioral tracking mechanisms are included.
- No advertising identifiers are generated or transmitted.
- No cloud-based synchronization features are implemented.
- Automatic diagnostics upload is not enabled by default for ordinary diagnostics behavior.
- No built-in silent auto-updater service is included.
Ordinary browser data is intended to remain on the user’s device unless the user chooses to interact with websites, search providers, downloads, supported streaming services, update flows, privacy-safe diagnostics features where supported, or other third-party services through normal browser use.
Local browser data may include, where applicable, settings, history, bookmarks, saved-password metadata, encrypted password storage, browser profile preferences, connected-account identity metadata linked to a profile, per-site permission settings, supported Streaming Hub session data, Music Player settings, Music Downloader state, gaming and streaming performance settings, local AI settings, profile-isolated AI memory where supported, cached internal search suggestions, install-linked metadata, language preferences, and accessibility preferences.
The current profile system supports up to 10 local browser profiles per installation. Each profile can carry one linked connected-account identity for profile name and avatar presentation.
Connected-account identity linking is optional. Where supported, linked identities may come from providers such as GitHub, Discord, or Google. Users can generally revoke that provider access later from the provider’s own account settings or authorized-applications page.
The Software may write browser-state data locally and may protect that data with compressed persistence, operating-system-backed protection, credential-backed protection, or other local protection mechanisms where available.
Saved passwords are stored separately from the main browser data file and are intended to be encrypted before being written to disk.
Diagnostics are generated locally. Runtime diagnostic entries may be written to a local diagnostics directory. Privacy-safe diagnostics are intended to remain user-controlled, narrower than general browser data collection, and disabled by default unless the user enables them where supported.
Optional local AI features, if included, are intended to support on-device behavior where available. Standard profiles may keep encrypted AI memory locally, while incognito or other ephemeral contexts are intended to avoid persistent AI memory.
The browser may include accessibility-focused features intended to improve reading comfort, visibility, motion reduction, control size, and continuity across sessions. Accessibility preferences are intended to remain local to the user’s device by default.
The browser may include background update checks and background installer downloads where supported, while keeping installer-based update behavior. That update model is intended to remain visible and user-controlled rather than a hidden silent updater service.
The browser may still generate normal network traffic when the user opens websites, signs into services, downloads files, uses search features, uses passkeys or WebAuthn, uses update checks, manually sends approved diagnostics, or uses supported online features. Third-party websites and services may process information under their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms.
The browser is not designed to make legal, financial, employment, health, housing, insurance, government-benefit, or similarly significant automated decisions about users.
Users may have privacy, transparency, access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, accessibility, or related legal rights depending on their location and applicable law.
Any future feature that would materially change this privacy posture would be clearly disclosed in updated license, privacy, or release documentation.
