Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 18, 2025
Introduction
RUBRIKPULSA SOFTWARE, CO. ("we," "us," or "our") develops and maintains DB CommanderX™ for SQLite, a freemium application ("Service") available on Google Play. The Service offers a free basic version with optional premium features accessible via In-App Purchases (IAP), subscription plans, or ad-supported temporary access. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our Service.
By using DB CommanderX™ for SQLite, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service. Terms used here align with our Terms of Service, accessible within the application, unless otherwise defined.
Use of SQLCipher Library
DB CommanderX™ for SQLite integrates SQLCipher Community Edition, an open-source library licensed under the BSD License by Zetetic, LLC, to provide robust database encryption. Key points:
- Purpose: SQLCipher encrypts database files stored locally on your device to protect your data.
- Data Access: We do not access, collect, or process your encrypted database content unless explicitly authorized by you (e.g., for cloud backup features, if applicable).
- Attribution: Copyright © 2008–2024 Zetetic, LLC. Full license details are available at https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/license/ and within the app under "Settings > About."
- Future Plans: Revenue from premium features may be allocated to acquire a SQLCipher Commercial Edition license, which offers enhanced performance and support. Until then, we rely on the Community Edition under its BSD terms.
Monetization & Premium Features
To sustain development, maintenance, and security enhancements, DB CommanderX™ for SQLite offers:
- One-time Purchases (IAP): Unlock specific advanced features permanently.
- Subscription Plans: Provide unlimited access to premium tools, including advanced database management and encryption features.
- Ad-Supported Access: Temporary access to select premium features (e.g., encrypted database creation) by watching ads.
- Remove Ads Option: A one-time IAP to disable advertisements permanently.
Revenue supports ongoing updates, infrastructure costs, and potential upgrades to third-party licenses like SQLCipher Commercial Edition.
Information Collection and Use
We collect limited information to provide and improve the Service. The types of data and their uses are:
- Locally Stored Data: Data you input into DB CommanderX™ for SQLite (e.g., database content) is encrypted using SQLCipher and stored solely on your device. We do not access or collect this data unless you enable optional features requiring it (e.g., cloud sync, if implemented).
-
Personal Information: Minimal identifiable information may be collected for essential functions, such as:
- User Authentication: Account identifiers tied to Google Play for subscription validation.
- Subscription Management: Payment status and renewal data via Google Play Billing.
- Analytics and Diagnostics: Usage data (e.g., feature interactions, crashes) is collected via third-party services to improve stability and performance. Examples: Device model, OS version, IP address, timestamps, and app state during errors.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Any data shared with third-party services is anonymized where possible and governed by their privacy policies.
Third-Party Services
DB CommanderX™ for SQLite uses the following third-party services, which may collect data:
- Google Play Services: Authentication and app distribution.
- AdMob: Delivers advertisements in the free version.
- Google Analytics for Firebase: Collects usage and crash data for analytics.
- Google Play Billing API: Manages subscriptions and IAPs.
Each service operates under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
We are not responsible for the data practices of these providers, but we ensure their use aligns with our commitment to user privacy.
Log Data
In case of errors, we collect diagnostic logs via Google Analytics for Firebase, which may include:
- IP address
- Device information (model, OS version)
- Application state and error timestamp
This data is used exclusively to diagnose issues, enhance stability, and improve security.
Advertisements & Data Usage
The free version includes ads via AdMob. These may be personalized based on general usage patterns or device data (not tied to personally identifiable information). Users can opt for an ad-free experience via a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase. Ad-based temporary access to premium features does not involve additional data collection beyond standard ad delivery.
Security Commitment
We prioritize your privacy and security:
- Encryption: SQLCipher Community Edition encrypts local databases, ensuring your data remains secure on your device.
- Transmission: Any data sent to our servers (if applicable) uses industry-standard encryption (e.g., HTTPS).
- Limitations: While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security against unauthorized access but will promptly address any breaches as required by law.
Children's Privacy
DB CommanderX™ for SQLite is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we discover such data has been collected, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians should contact us if they believe their child’s data has been submitted.
Subscription & Premium Access Policy
Subscription Terms
- Subscriptions are managed via Google Play Billing and renew automatically unless canceled.
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play settings: Cancel, pause, or change a subscription.
- Refunds follow Google Play’s policy: Request a refund. Refunds are not offered directly by us unless required by law.
- Grace Period: A 7-day grace period applies after a payment failure before premium access is suspended.
- Suspension: If unpaid after 30 days, premium features are disabled until renewal.
- Taxes: Applicable taxes vary by your location and are added via Google Play Billing.
Ad-Based Access
- Watching a rewarded ad grants one-time access to create an encrypted database.

- Availability of ad-based access may change without notice.
