This Privacy Policy explains how DevShed Labs LLC ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use Coder IDE and the coderide.dev website. The short version: Coder is a desktop application designed to keep your code on your machine, and we do not sell your data.

1. Information We Collect

a. Local data (stays on your device)

Coder stores your projects, chat sessions, project memory, settings, API keys, token logs, and reports locally on your own computer. This data is not uploaded to us and we do not have access to it.

b. Information you send to model providers

Coder is bring-your-own-key. When you use the built-in AI features, your prompts, files, and context are sent directly to the model provider you configured — with your API key — under that provider's terms and privacy policy, not ours. We do not see or store this traffic.

c. Website data

When you visit coderide.dev, we and our hosting/analytics providers may collect basic usage information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring links. You can opt out of analytics cookies in your browser settings.

d. Information you send to us directly

If you contact us through the contact form or by email, we collect the information you choose to provide — such as your name, email address, and message — so we can respond.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Software and the website;
  • Respond to your questions, requests, and support inquiries;
  • Understand how the website is used and improve it;
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations.

3. What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
  • We do not read, scan, or train on your source code or local files.
  • We do not process or store your AI prompts or their output.
  • We do not require an account to use Coder, and we do not collect telemetry from the desktop application.

4. When We Might Share Information

We do not share personal information except in limited circumstances: with service providers who help us operate the website (subject to confidentiality obligations); when required by law, regulation, or legal process; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where we will require the recipient to honor this policy.

5. Data Security

Your local data is protected by the security of your own device and operating system. We use reasonable safeguards to protect website data in transit, including HTTPS encryption. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

Local data is retained on your device until you delete it. Website logs and analytics data are retained for reasonable periods for security and operational purposes. Contact correspondence is retained as long as needed to address your inquiry.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You control your data:

  • Local data. Delete projects, sessions, or the entire Coder data directory (see the documentation) at any time. Coder stores everything in ~/.coder/ on your machine.
  • Website data. Disable analytics cookies in your browser, and clear your browser data as you wish.
  • Your information. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 9.

8. Children's Privacy

The Software and website are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and, for material changes, make reasonable efforts to notify you. Continued use of the Software or website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
