Privacy Policy

Rapid+ Browser · Version 1 · Last updated 1 November 2026

Rapid+ Browser ("Rapid+", "we") is built to keep your browsing on your device. This policy explains what data the app handles, where it goes, and the choices you have.

1. Data that stays on your device

Browsing data — history, bookmarks, open tabs, cookies, site storage and cache. Each profile keeps its own. We do not upload it.
Saved passwords — if you choose to save a password, it is stored on your device only, encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore (secure hardware where available). We cannot read it and it is never sent to us.
Settings — such as your home page, search engine, theme, site permissions, proxy details and user-agent choice, stored per profile.
Site icons — small icons of sites you visit are cached locally to show on the start page.

Private (incognito) tabs do not save history, passwords or site icons, and their cookies and site data are deleted when you close your private tabs.

2. Signing in to Google (optional)

You can sign in to your Google account inside Rapid+, as in other browsers. You do this on Google's own sign-in page, so your password goes only to Google and never to us. After that, Google sites such as Gmail and YouTube stay signed in within that profile, using cookies that are stored on your device.

To show your Google name and picture on the profile, Rapid+ asks Google which account is signed in, the same way Chrome does. This request goes directly from your device to Google with that profile's own Google cookies. Rapid+ keeps your name, email address and picture on your device only, for that profile. We do not receive them and we do not access your Google data. Signing out of Google in Settings, or clearing that profile's cookies, removes them. Google's own privacy policy covers your use of your Google account.

3. Payments

Rapid+ is free. It does not take payments, does not check a licence and does not send a device identifier to us. If we ever introduce a paid plan, we will update this policy and ask you to agree again before anything changes.

4. Data sent to third parties

Websites you visit receive the information any browser sends (IP address, user agent, cookies you allow). Rapid+ has no control over their practices.
Proxy / VPN mode sends your browser traffic to the proxy server you configure. That server's operator can see the traffic (and for non-HTTPS traffic, its content). Rapid+ does not provide a proxy or VPN service, and this feature does not make you anonymous.
Safe Browsing — Android WebView may check pages against Google Safe Browsing, which involves sending partial hashes of addresses to Google.
Suggested-site logos on the start page are fetched from Google's public icon service for a fixed list of well-known sites. This reveals that list, not your browsing.
Update checks — the app occasionally downloads a small file (version.json) from rapidplusbrowser.online to see whether a newer version is available. This is an ordinary web request, so our web host can see your IP address and the app version in the request. We do not send any browsing data or personal identifiers.
Search — searches you make go to the search engine you choose.

5. Permissions

Camera, microphone, location and file access are used only when a website you are viewing asks for them and you have allowed that permission in Site settings and in Android. You can change these at any time.

Weather on the start page. If you allow location access, the Android app reads your device's last known location and sends its coordinates to Open-Meteo, a free weather service, over an encrypted connection to show the current temperature. The coordinates are used only for that request and are not stored by Rapid+; only the temperature is kept on your device. Open-Meteo's own privacy terms apply to that request. If you don't grant location permission, no location is sent and the weather is simply not shown.

6. What we do not do

We do not show ads, do not use analytics or tracking SDKs, and do not sell or share your personal data.

7. Your choices and retention

You can clear browsing data, delete saved passwords, delete a profile (which deletes its data), or sign out at any time. Uninstalling the app removes all data stored on your device.

8. Security

We default to HTTPS for addresses you type, use Safe Browsing, encrypted password storage, and restrict the app's access to local files. No system is perfectly secure, and you should keep your device updated and locked.

9. Children

Rapid+ is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

10. Changes

If this policy changes materially, the app will ask you to review and agree again.

11. No website or app accounts

Rapid+ Browser doesn't have an account system. There's nothing to sign up or sign in for on this website, and the app doesn't send your bookmarks, history or passwords to us for cross-device sync — everything stays on your device. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies on this site.

12. Analytics on this website

This section covers the rapidplusbrowser.online website, including its blog. It does not apply to the Rapid+ app, which has no analytics.

To understand how the website is used, its pages record a small set of events in our own Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) database: page views, clicks on links and buttons (including the download buttons), how long a page stayed visible and how far it was scrolled. An event can include the page address and title, the referring site and any campaign tags in the link you followed, a coarse device type, the name of your browser and operating system, your screen size, language and time zone, and whether this browser has visited the site before.

We do not use cookies for this. The site keeps a random identifier for the current tab in your browser's session storage, which is removed when the tab is closed, and a single "visited before" flag in local storage. We do not record your name, email address, IP address or full user agent in these events, we do not combine them with other data, and we do not sell or share them. Only the site administrator can read this data.

These statistics are anonymous and cookie-free, and you can switch them off at any time. Use the choice shown the first time you visit, or change your privacy choice now. Choosing "Decline statistics" also stops the view counter on blog articles from counting your visits.

13. Blog comments, votes and view counts

On blog articles you can leave a comment, with or without a name, and upvote or downvote articles and comments. A comment is public: the name you type (or "Anonymous"), the comment text and the time it was posted are shown to every reader and stored in our Cloud Firestore database until we delete them. Please don't put personal information in a comment. We don't ask for your email address and we don't store your IP address with a comment. Links are not allowed, and we may hide or delete any comment.

Votes and the "views" number are anonymous totals for each article or comment. To remember what you voted, when you last commented and the name you used, your browser keeps a few small items in local storage on your device (no cookies). Clearing site data removes them. If you'd like a comment of yours removed, email admin@rapidplusbrowser.online with the article and the comment text. If you are in the EU, the UK or California, you can also ask us what we hold about you and ask for it to be deleted; we'll act on it as the law requires.

14. Newsletter

If you subscribe to the blog newsletter, we store the email address you enter, the page you signed up on, and the time. We use it only to email you about new articles. We do not sell it or share it with anyone else. To unsubscribe or have your address deleted, email admin@rapidplusbrowser.online from that address.
