Privacy Policy — Koshur Keyboard
Effective date: 25 July 2026 Developer: Yimberzol Foundation
Summary
Koshur Keyboard does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
Koshur Keyboard is a Kashmiri keyboard for iOS. It works entirely on your device. It has no servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no accounts.
Full Access is not requested
iOS custom keyboards can request a permission called Full Access, which is what allows a keyboard to reach the network, share data with its containing app, or read the pasteboard.
Koshur Keyboard does not request Full Access. The keyboard extension runs in the restricted sandbox iOS applies by default, which means it is technically incapable of sending anything off your device. You will never be asked to grant it.
What Koshur Keyboard can see
While you are typing with Koshur Keyboard, the keyboard receives your keystrokes — this is inherently how any keyboard works. Koshur Keyboard uses those keystrokes only to insert the corresponding characters into the app you are typing in, and to combine accents and diacritics (for example, typing c then ˇ produces č).
Keystrokes are never recorded, stored, logged, profiled, or transmitted. Nothing is written to disk. When you switch away from the keyboard, nothing about what you typed remains.
What Koshur Keyboard does not do
- Does not collect personal information, contacts, location, or device identifiers
- Does not log, store, or transmit anything you type
- Does not use analytics, crash reporting, tracking, or advertising SDKs
- Does not make network requests of any kind
- Does not use cookies or any similar technology
- Does not share, sell, or disclose data to third parties — there is no data to share
Data stored on your device
Koshur Keyboard stores your app preferences (such as your chosen settings) using the standard iOS user defaults mechanism. This information never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
Children's privacy
Koshur Keyboard is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children under 13. It complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting nothing at all.
Your rights
Because Koshur Keyboard collects no personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, export, or delete. Uninstalling the app removes its local preferences from your device. This position is consistent with the GDPR, the CCPA, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address and the effective date above will be revised. Any change that affected data handling would also be described in the app's release notes.
