Security

Last updated: January 2026

Security is a core part of how Articuly is built. This page describes the measures we take to protect your data and how you can report a security issue.

The short version: your content stays on your device. Articuly has no backend servers, so there is no server database for your text to be stored in.

1. Local-first design

Articuly processes text on your device. Nothing you type or read is sent to our servers, because we do not run any servers. This design dramatically reduces the surface area for data exposure.

2. Protecting data at rest

App data is stored in the app’s private sandbox on your device, which other apps cannot read. Your device’s built-in encryption (where enabled) protects this data at rest.

3. Dependencies and advertising

Where the app relies on third-party services such as Google AdMob, those services are provided by their respective vendors under their own security practices. Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Responsible use

Keep your device operating system and the app updated.
Use your device’s lock screen and encryption features.
Only install Articuly from trusted sources such as Google Play.

5. Reporting a vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security issue in Articuly, please report it responsibly to articuly.app@gmail.com. Include steps to reproduce the issue and avoid sharing personal data in your report.

6. Contact
