Minihost: Privacy policy

This is an Android app developed by Don Mankin. The app is available on Google Play.

I take privacy very seriously. I know how irritating it is when apps collect your data without your knowledge.

I hereby state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that I have not programmed this app to collect any personally identifiable information. All data created is stored on your device only, and can be simply erased by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.  The data is stored in the minihost.ini file and is encrypted.  This app does not create network connections to any devices other than the servers you specify in the settings.

If you find any security vulnerability that has been inadvertently caused by me, or have any question regarding how the app protectes your privacy, please send me an email and I will try to make it right.
