Pesums - Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

When you use Pesums, you are placing your trust in something built to deserve it. This Privacy Policy explains exactly how Pesums handles your information which, by design, is almost none at all.

Our Core Promise

Pesums collects no personal data from your browsing. Not your browsing history. Not your searches. Not your passwords. Not your device information while browsing. This is not a marketing claim it is a technical reality. Pesums is built so that your browsing data never leaves your device. There is no round-trip to a Pesums server for anything you do in the browser.

  The honest guarantee: We cannot misuse, sell, or leak browsing data we never receive. That part of your privacy is protected by architecture, not by policy. The separate, limited exception for license verification is explained openly below nothing is hidden.

Zero Data Collection

What We Don't Collect

Pesums does not collect, store, transmit, or have any access to the following:

Your Browsing History

The websites you visit are never reported anywhere. Your browsing activity is completely invisible to us because it never reaches us.

Your Passwords & Login Data

All passwords and login credentials are stored in an encrypted local vault on your device. We have zero access to your accounts or authentication information.

Your Search Queries

What you search for stays on your device. We don't log searches, don't build profiles from them, and don't share them with anyone.

Your Downloads

Files you download, their names, sizes, and locations are completely private. We never track your downloads.

Your Location Data

We do not collect your IP address, GPS coordinates, or any location information. Your physical location remains private.

Your Device Information

No device fingerprinting, no hardware profiling, no unique identifiers collected by Pesums. Your device characteristics stay with you.

Your Personal Information

No email addresses, no phone numbers, no names, no demographic data. We do not ask for any of this and do not want it.

What We Or Pesums Collect

For browsing itself: nothing, as described above. The one exception is license verification if you purchase or trial Pesums a small, separate system covered honestly in its own section below. It exists only to stop fraud and keep licensing working, never to watch what you do in the browser.

There is no exception list for browsing. There is no asterisk. The above is complete for everything you do inside the browser.

How Pesums Works Without Your Data

Everything Pesums does, it does locally on your device. Block lists, cookie rules, password storage, browsing history if you choose to keep one, and all settings are stored on your device only in local storage. Pesums does not communicate with Pesums-owned servers to function. There is no round-trip to the cloud. The browser is built offline-first. Your data is yours and goes nowhere.

          Technical guarantee: Pesums is architected so that user data never leaves your device. This
          is not a policy that could be changed later it is how the software is built.
        

Protection from Online Threats

Pesums actively protects you from a wide range of digital threats. This protection runs entirely on your device no requests are sent to Pesums servers to make blocking decisions.

Pesums Shield

Pesums Shield is our built-in protection layer. All rules are stored locally and enforced locally offline-first, with no cloud dependency.

Ad Blocker

Blocks banner ads, pop-ups, video ads, and native ads using locally stored block lists. This also prevents malvertising malicious ads that can infect your device or steal your data.

Tracker Blocker

Stops tracking scripts from Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and thousands of other tracking services that follow you across the web. They cannot see you because their requests never complete.

Cookie Protection

Blocks third-party cookies that websites use to track you across different sites. First-party cookies needed for basic site functionality are permitted under your rules. All decisions are made locally.

Anti-Fingerprinting

Prevents websites from building a unique fingerprint of your browser using your fonts, screen resolution, plugins, and other characteristics. Canvas, WebGL, audio, and font fingerprinting are all blocked.

HTTPS Enforcement

Automatically upgrades connections to secure HTTPS wherever possible. This encrypts your traffic between your device and the websites you visit, protecting against eavesdropping and interception. This is enforced locally no Pesums server is involved.

Script Protection

Blocks malicious scripts that websites may attempt to inject into your browser to exploit vulnerabilities or steal data.

Cryptojacking Prevention

Stops websites from secretly using your device's processing power to mine cryptocurrency without your knowledge or consent.

          Important: Pesums Shield does not use a live cloud threat database. All block rules are
          maintained in locally stored lists on your device. Your browsing destinations are never transmitted to any
          server not even for security purposes.
        

No Tracking. No Profiling. No Following.

Pesums blocks every known method used to follow you across the web:

No cookie tracking: Third-party tracking cookies are completely blocked.
No pixel tracking: Invisible tracking pixels are prevented from loading.
No browser fingerprinting: Websites cannot create unique identifiers from your browser configuration.
No canvas fingerprinting: HTML5 canvas-based tracking is blocked.
No WebGL fingerprinting: Graphics card fingerprinting is prevented.
No audio fingerprinting: Your audio stack cannot be used to identify you.
No font fingerprinting: Your installed fonts remain private.
No cross-site tracking: You cannot be followed from one website to another.
No behavioral profiling: Your browsing patterns stay entirely on your device.

You Are in Complete Control

Pesums does not collect your data, but you have full control over whatever is stored locally on your device:

Clear browsing data anytime: Delete your local history, cache, and cookies whenever you want.
Private browsing mode: Browse without saving any local record at all.
Auto-delete on close: Set history and cookies to clear automatically when you close the browser.
Cookie rules per site: Accept, block, or delete cookies on a site-by-site basis, all enforced locally.

Third-Party Components

Pesums is not built entirely from scratch like virtually all software, it relies on some open-source components and outside services to function. Being honest about this is part of being honest with you.

For browsing, this means only local, on-device, open-source components nothing that phones home, because your browsing never leaves your device in the first place.

For the license system specifically, a small number of services are involved by necessity:

Lemon Squeezy processes your payment and sees the email and amount involved in your purchase, under their own privacy policy.
Resend delivers your license key by email, and briefly handles your email address and key to send it.
Our hosting provider, like any server on the internet, sees the IP address of requests reaching it.

These exist to make the license system work never to build a profile of you, never to track your browsing, and never to sell or hand your data to advertisers. We do not add tracking SDKs, analytics services, or ad networks. We do not sell data to anyone, for any reason. What these components see is limited strictly to what's needed to verify a purchase or deliver a key nothing more.

License Verification (Not Browsing Data)

If you purchase or trial a license, a small, separate system exists purely to stop fraud and keep the license working it has nothing to do with your browsing, which stays private as described above.

What This System Stores

Your email and license key, so we can verify your purchase and resend your key if you lose it
A device identifier generated on your device, so we can enforce the 3-device limit and stop the same trial being started over and over
Your device model and Android version, shown to you in your own account so you can tell your devices apart
The time of activation and last use
The outcome of activation attempts, including IP address, kept briefly to catch abuse like someone trying thousands of license keys until one works

Why We Need This

To verify your license is real and let you use it on your devices
To enforce the device limit and trial fairly
To catch and stop fraud, brute-force attempts, and trial abuse
To help you if you email us lost key, refund, device issue

What We Never Do With It

We never share it with any third party beyond the services listed above, for any reason
We never use it to track, profile, or watch what you do in the browser that data never reaches us in the first place
We never sell it or use it for advertising

Payments themselves are handled by Lemon Squeezy under their own policy. We never see or store your card details.

Children's Privacy

Because Pesums collects no personal information from anyone, there are no special rules or exceptions for children. We treat all users identically: we collect nothing from any of them.

Open Source & Transparent

Pesums is built on open-source technology. The code is publicly available for inspection. Security researchers, privacy advocates, and developers can verify that Pesums does exactly what it says. No backdoors. No hidden trackers. No secret data collection. You do not have to take our word for it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If this policy ever needs to change, the updated version will be posted here with a revised date. Our commitment to collecting zero user data is permanent that will not change.

          Last Updated: February 8, 2026

          This Privacy Policy is effective immediately and applies to all users of Pesums Browser.

These Terms of Service are the agreement between you and Pesums, an independent software project , regarding your use of Pesums Browser. By downloading or using Pesums, you agree to these terms.

What Pesums Is

Pesums is an independent, privacy-focused Android browser developed by a solo developer. It is not a corporation. It is not a funded company. It is independent software built by one person with the goal of giving users a browser that does not surveil them. These terms are written to be honest and readable, not to protect a legal department.

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Pesums in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use Pesums.

Eligibility

Pesums is available to users of all ages. If you are under 18, you should have your parent or guardian's permission to use it. Because Pesums collects no personal data, there are no special restrictions based on age.

Open Source Components

Pesums is built using open-source libraries and components governed by their respective licenses including MIT, Apache 2.0, and others as documented in the app. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you already have under those open-source licenses.

Updates

Pesums does not automatically install updates on your device. When updates are available, they are distributed through the app store or direct download. You choose whether to install them. We recommend keeping Pesums updated to benefit from the latest security and stability improvements.

Your Responsibilities

Pesums gives you significant freedom as a browser. That freedom comes with the expectation that you use it legally and responsibly. You agree not to use Pesums to:

Violate any local, national, or international law
Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
Harass, threaten, or harm others
Distribute malware, viruses, or other malicious software
Engage in fraud, identity theft, or deceptive practices
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to computer systems or networks

Intellectual Property

The Pesums name, logo, and visual identity are the property of the Pesums project. You may not use them to represent a different product or create the impression of affiliation with or endorsement by Pesums without explicit written permission. Referring to Pesums accurately in a review, comparison, or article does not require permission.

Disclaimers

Pesums is provided as-is. We build it carefully and take its quality seriously, but we cannot guarantee it will always be error-free or that it will protect against every possible online threat. The internet carries real risks that no browser eliminates completely. You use Pesums knowing this.

Pesums is a tool for accessing websites. We are not responsible for the content of websites you visit through the browser, nor do we endorse any website or service you reach using Pesums.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pesums and its developer are not liable for any indirect , incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the browser including any loss of data or device issues.

Termination

You may stop using Pesums at any time by uninstalling it. Because your browsing data is stored entirely on your device, uninstalling it removes your local browsing data there is no server-side copy of it to delete, because we never received it.

If you purchased a license, our license system does keep a record tied to your email so your license keeps working across your devices, as described in the Privacy Policy. Uninstalling the app doesn't delete that record. If you'd like your license account data removed, email us at contact@pesums.com and we'll handle it.

Changes to These Terms

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted here with a revised date. Continuing to use Pesums after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree, stop using Pesums.

Disputes

If you have any dispute or concern related to Pesums, contact us first at contact@pesums.com. We are reachable, we are independent, and we respond personally. Our goal is always to resolve issues fairly and directly.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pesums regarding your use of the browser.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
