Privacy Policy

Overview

Hex is a developer multi-tool for iOS and Android built and distributed by SHYGUY LLC. This policy explains what data Hex collects, stores, and transmits — and what it does not.

The short version: Hex does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Everything stays on your device. Hex works entirely offline.

Data We Do Not Collect

• —No analytics or usage tracking
• —No crash reporting sent to third parties
• —No advertising identifiers
• —No account registration or login
• —No data shared with third parties
• —No network requests of any kind

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Hex stores only your recently used tools list — on iOS in iOS-managed storage (SwiftData), on Android in the app's private storage with Android's cloud backup turned off. This data never leaves your device.

• —Recent tools list — which tools you used most recently

All text you enter into Hex tools (JSON, Base64, passwords, etc.) is processed entirely on-device and is never stored persistently or transmitted anywhere.

When you open Hex it reads your clipboard on the device to suggest a matching tool (for example, “JSON detected”). The clipboard text is only inspected in memory — it is not stored or sent anywhere. On Android 12 and later, the system shows a notice when this happens.

Network Access

Hex makes zero network requests. The app works entirely offline. No data is ever sent to SHYGUY LLC servers or any third party. On Android, Hex does not even request the internet permission, so it cannot connect to a network at all.

Children's Privacy

Hex is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children. As Hex collects no personal data from any user, no special handling applies.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the effective date above will be updated and a note will be posted on shyguy.studio.
