Mulberry IDE is built on the principle that your data is yours. The app runs entirely on your device. We collect only what's necessary to sell you a license and send you updates — nothing more. We have no telemetry, no analytics SDK, no usage tracking, and no interest in changing that.
Mulberry IDE is a product of Progress Never Stops ("we," "us," "our"), operated by Joshua at joshua@progressneverstops.com. This policy covers the Mulberry IDE application for iOS and macOS, and the marketing website at mulberry-ide.netlify.app.
Here's the complete picture — what we collect, and what we deliberately don't.
| Data | Collected? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Yes | Beta signup, license delivery, product updates |
| Payment method (via Stripe) | Yes | Subscription billing — stored by Stripe, not us |
| License key record | Yes | Validating your subscription tier |
| Selected pricing tier | Yes | Delivering the right feature set |
| Your files or code | No | — |
| AI conversations | No | — |
| Usage analytics / telemetry | No | — |
| Keystroke or behavior data | No | — |
| Device identifiers | No | — |
| Location data | No | — |
| Crash reports | No | — |
Mulberry IDE runs entirely on your device. Your files, projects, AI conversations, editor state, and preferences are stored locally and never transmitted to our servers. We have no mechanism to access your on-device data, and no desire to build one.
The on-device AI model runs inference locally. Your prompts, code context, and AI responses never leave your device. The model's personalization ("brain tuning") is computed and stored on-device only.
If you choose to use cloud AI providers through our BYOK feature, your device connects directly to that provider's API using your own API key. We never see, store, proxy, or log your API key or the data exchanged in those requests. Your relationship with that API provider is governed by their terms, not ours. We are not a party to that transaction.
The mulberry-ide.netlify.app website is a static site hosted on Netlify. It uses Netlify Forms to collect beta signups. Netlify's infrastructure may log standard web request data (IP address, browser type) as part of normal server operation — we don't add any analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party scripts beyond Google Fonts for typography.
That's the complete list. We don't sell, rent, share, or trade your information with third parties. We don't run ads. We don't build marketing profiles.
We retain your email and license record for as long as your subscription is active, plus 90 days after cancellation for payment dispute purposes. After that window, we delete it. If you want it deleted sooner, email us and we'll handle it within 7 business days.
Regardless of where you live, you can:
If you're in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA respectively. We comply with all of them — but because we collect so little, exercising these rights is straightforward. Email joshua@progressneverstops.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
We have never sold personal information to third parties. We have no plans to. If that ever changes (it won't), we'll update this policy and notify you by email before it takes effect, with the option to delete your data.
Mulberry IDE is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If we learn we have, we'll delete it immediately.
Your license validation data is stored in an encrypted database with access limited to one person (the developer). The marketing site uses HTTPS. Payments are processed through Stripe — we never see, process, or store your card details.
If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date at the top and email active subscribers. Material changes (especially any that expand data collection) will include 30 days' notice before taking effect.
