Privacy, in plain words.

Taplume RGB Keyboard · com.cidev.taplume · C.I Dev
Effective 14 October 2026

Taplume processes your typing on your device. We do not save your keystrokes or send your typing to a server.

What the keyboard uses

The keyboard processes the characters you enter and limited text around the cursor to provide typing, capitalization, deletion, and optional English word suggestions. This processing happens on your device. Taplume passes the text you enter to the app you are typing in, as any keyboard must. That app handles the text under its own privacy practices.

English suggestions work offline using a fixed dictionary bundled with the app. The keyboard compares your current word with that dictionary using temporary local context. It does not learn from your typing, build a personal dictionary, or save a typing history. A suggested word is inserted only when you tap it; there is no automatic replacement or autocorrect. You can turn Word suggestions off in Settings.

Taplume does not record keystrokes, passwords, or text entered in its practice area. It does not read the clipboard, contacts, microphone, photos, or location. The keyboard service does not start Google Play Billing.

Settings stored on your device

Your selected theme, key size, sound, vibration and word-suggestion settings, signed purchase receipts, and any verified free-access entitlement are stored in Taplume's private app storage. Receipts let the app remember which theme packs you own. If you redeem a free access code, Taplume validates it on your device and saves only its verified hash, not the code itself. The code is not sent to a server. Free access is separate from Google Play purchases and can be cleared in Settings; enter the code again after reinstalling. Android backup is disabled for this app. We do not operate a server that stores these settings or your typing.

Optional purchases and Google Play

Theme packs are optional one-time purchases. Google Play handles checkout and purchase restoration using your Google account. Taplume receives purchase details, such as the purchased product, purchase token, status, and signed receipt, to verify and unlock a pack. It sends purchase tokens to Google to acknowledge completed purchases. Taplume does not receive your payment card details.

Billing diagnostics sent to Google

Taplume includes Google Play Billing to display, purchase, and restore theme packs. Its billing components collect and send technical diagnostics to Google, including when billing is initialized or a request fails. These diagnostics can be sent even if you do not complete a purchase.

• Device and software details: Android, app, and billing-library versions; device brand, model and manufacturer; build information; and device memory information.
• Connection and regional details: network type, device language and country settings, and SIM mobile-country and mobile-network codes when available.
• Billing activity: session and transaction identifiers, timestamps, purchase-flow steps, results, errors, and performance information.

These events support billing operation, reliability, and technical analysis. The billing transport stores pending events in a local database and sends them to Google over HTTPS; processing is not limited to the moment you use the screen. Taplume does not collect an advertising ID or send your typing to these services.

Google's handling and retention of purchase information and billing diagnostics are governed by the Google Privacy Policy and applicable Google account controls. C.I Dev does not set Google's retention periods or directly delete data held by Google.

Ads, typing analytics, and accounts

Taplume has no Taplume account or advertisements. We do not record your typing, collect typing analytics, sell your typing, or use it for advertising. Apart from the Google billing components described above, Taplume does not include an app analytics SDK.

Your choices and deletion

• Turn English word suggestions, typing sounds and vibration on or off in Taplume.
• Disable or switch the keyboard in Android's keyboard settings at any time.
• Clear Taplume's app storage or uninstall it to delete local settings, cached receipts, and locally queued billing diagnostics.
• Restore eligible purchases through Google Play after reinstalling. Deleting local app data does not delete information already sent to Google, cancel a purchase, or request a refund. Use Google's privacy and account controls for information held by Google.

If you contact support

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use that information to answer your request and keep it only as needed to resolve and document the issue or meet applicable obligations. Please do not send passwords, payment card numbers, or text you consider sensitive. You can request deletion of support correspondence using the address below.
