Fumic

Privacy Policy

Fumic is a completely offline application. It does not collect, transmit, or process any personal data — ever. Your files, your preferences, your listening habits — everything stays on your machine, always.

Effective: May 17, 2025 Last reviewed: May 17, 2026

1. About Fumic

Fumic is a magical, open-source, keyboard-first media player for Windows. It exists in two versions — a Flutter-based desktop build and an Electron-based build — both crafted with the same philosophy: pure, quality software made out of a genuine desire to build something great.

Fumic is developed by Saksham Sharma (UnExplainableFish52) alongside a coding agent, and is released as free and open-source software. The source code is publicly available for inspection and verification.

By installing or using Fumic, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Data Collection — There Is None

Fumic collects absolutely no data of any kind. This is the foundational design of the application. Specifically:

  • Fumic does not collect personal information (name, email, location, or any identifier).
  • Fumic does not track usage, listening history, or playback behavior.
  • Fumic does not gather analytics, crash reports, or diagnostic telemetry.
  • Fumic does not read, index, or upload your media files or file system contents.
  • Fumic does not send any data over a network — at any time, for any reason.

Once you download and install Fumic, everything resides entirely within your computer. Nothing ever leaves your local environment.

3. Network Activity — Zero

Fumic is a fully offline application. It does not initiate, require, or depend on any network connection. It does not:

  • Make outbound requests to any server, including the developer's servers.
  • Automatically ping home to check for updates.
  • Load remote resources, fonts, scripts, or media from the internet.
  • Communicate with third-party APIs or services of any kind.

Your network traffic is yours alone. Fumic never touches it.

4. Local Storage and Configuration

Fumic may store application preferences (such as theme settings, equalizer profiles, or window state) locally on your device. This data:

  • Is stored exclusively on your machine, in standard application data directories.
  • Is never transmitted, backed up remotely, or shared in any form.
  • Remains fully under your control — you can clear or delete it at any time.

Fumic does not use cookies, browser storage, or any web-based tracking mechanism.

5. Open Source Transparency

Fumic is open-source software. The complete source code is publicly available, which means you are not required to take our word for any of the privacy claims stated here — you can read, audit, and verify every aspect of the application yourself.

This transparency is intentional. We believe trustworthy software should be verifiable software.

6. Two Versions of Fumic

Fumic is available in two distinct builds, both sharing the exact same privacy posture:

  • Fumic (Flutter): A native Windows desktop application built with Google's Flutter framework, offering a smooth, high-performance experience.
  • Fumic (Electron): A build using Electron, providing the same keyboard-first experience with web technology at its core.

Both versions are fully offline with zero data collection. The version you use does not change any aspect of this policy.

7. Regulatory Compliance

Because Fumic collects no user data and has no network presence, it is compliant by design with all major data protection regulations, including:

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, EU/EEA) — No personal data is processed. Data subject rights are trivially satisfied as there is no data to access, correct, or delete.
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act, USA) — No personal information is sold, shared, or collected.
  • PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Canada) — No personal information is collected or used.
  • PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act and equivalent jurisdictions) — No personal data is processed in any form.

The developer (Saksham Sharma) and distributor of Fumic shall not be held liable under any of these regulations, as no user data is ever collected, processed, stored remotely, or transmitted.

8. Children's Privacy

Fumic does not collect any information from any user — children or adults. Since no data is gathered whatsoever, Fumic naturally adheres to child privacy laws such as COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, USA) without any additional measures required.

9. Third-Party Services

Fumic does not integrate any third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external SDKs that collect data. Any third-party libraries used internally (for media decoding, UI rendering, etc.) operate entirely within your local environment and do not collect or transmit any data.

10. Developer's Liability

Given the completely offline, zero-collection nature of Fumic, the developer (Saksham Sharma, UnExplainableFish52) and any associated distributor bear no liability related to user data under any data protection law or regulation in any jurisdiction worldwide.

Fumic is provided as open-source software in good faith, developed out of a pure desire for quality, keyboard-driven software, and is distributed without warranty of any kind as described in its open-source license.

11. Updates to This Policy

If the privacy practices of Fumic ever change — for example, if a future version introduces optional online features — this policy will be updated to reflect those changes clearly and in advance. The core commitment to user privacy will always remain.
