Privacy
How the current Kodari beta handles local work, account-linked cloud projects, shared snapshots, diagnostics, and optional analytics.
Reviewed for RC5.20
This page describes the product paths implemented today.
Kodari is in beta. This notice will be reviewed again before Public Beta and whenever material cloud or community behavior changes.
Projects
Guest projects are stored in your browser. Kodari also keeps local recovery snapshots in browser storage so a failed or damaged local save has a recovery path. When you sign in and cloud sync is available, project metadata and source files can be stored in the Kodari Firebase project so they can follow your account across devices.
Signing out does not erase local projects from that browser. Account-linked local projects are hidden from the normal Kodari workspace while signed out or while a different account is active; this is an application privacy boundary, not encryption of the browser profile. Projects already linked to one cloud account are not automatically uploaded into a different signed-in account. Device-only projects are never attached to the next signed-in account automatically; you must explicitly choose Connect local projects.
Search visibility of shared projects
Kodari marks its shared-project viewer as noindex so share links are intended to remain link-accessible rather than discoverable through general web search. Search engines control their own processing, so do not treat an unlisted share URL as a secret.
Usage analytics
Kodari asks before enabling optional usage analytics. Beta instrumentation is designed to record product events rather than source code or project content. You can decline and continue using Kodari.
Diagnostics
Kodari keeps a small local history of client errors to help with recovery. Exporting diagnostics is your choice. The diagnostics export intentionally excludes project source code.
Firebase services
Kodari uses Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore for account and cloud-project functionality. App Check support is included for beta protection and becomes active after it is configured in Firebase.
Your control
- Use Kodari locally without an account.
- Export workspace backups.
- Unpublish shared snapshots.
- Decline optional analytics.
This notice may change as Kodari moves toward Public Beta, especially when new cloud or community features are introduced.
