Privacy Policy

What IVX Is

IVX is a browser-based programming language. You write programs in the editor; they execute in your browser and render as live animated flowcharts. IVX can interact with Google services — Gmail, Drive, Sheets, and Apps Script — on your behalf.

IVX is served as a static website. There is no application server, no database, and no backend infrastructure that processes user data.

How Your Data Flows

When your IVX program sends an email, saves a file, or reads a spreadsheet, the request travels directly from your browser to Google's APIs. It does not pass through any IVX server.

Your IVX programs, variables, and local settings are stored in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device unless your program explicitly sends them somewhere (like saving to your Google Drive).

Google OAuth & Permissions

IVX uses Google Sign-In to authenticate you. When you sign in, you grant IVX permission to access certain Google services on your behalf. The permissions we request are:

gmail.send — Send email from your Gmail account
drive.file — Read and write files you create with IVX
spreadsheets — Read and write Google Sheets
script.projects — Deploy Apps Script for automated triggers

These permissions are used only to execute actions your IVX program explicitly instructs. IVX does not read your existing emails, scan your Drive, or access any data your program doesn't specifically request.

Your Google credentials and OAuth tokens are stored locally in your browser and are never transmitted to IVX servers.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to:

Your IVX programs or source code
Your Google account data, emails, files, or spreadsheets
Your name, email address, or any identifying information
Usage analytics, telemetry, or behavioral data
IP addresses or device fingerprints

The only exception is if you choose to submit a bug report via the in-app button, which opens a mailto link to iceboltstartup@gmail.com. That email is sent from your own email client and is subject to your email provider's privacy policy, not ours.

Third-Party Services

IVX integrates with Google Workspace APIs. Your use of those services is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

IVX does not use advertising networks, analytics platforms, tracking pixels, or any other third-party data services.

Children's Privacy

IVX does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Because we collect no personal information from any users, we have no special processes for children's data.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Because IVX collects no contact information, we cannot notify you directly — please check this page periodically if you'd like to stay informed.
