title: Does Keyman include adware or spyware?
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
No!
|
|
|
|
We never have and never will include adware or spyware components.
|
|
|
|
When [enabling Keyman as a system keyboard](../start/enabling-system-keyboard), Android displays the following warning, which is the same message that is displayed for any keyboard app that is installed onto an Android device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Attention: This input method may be able to collect all the text you
|
|
> type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers.
|
|
> It comes from the app Keyman. Use this input method? Cancel / OK
|
|
|
|
The Keyman app does not record the keystrokes you type and does not send keystrokes off-device, unlike many other keyboard apps. All predictive text suggestions are entirely on your device.
|
|
|
|
Keyman is an open source application, and you are most welcome to inspect the source code at https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman.
|
|
|
|
## Checking for Updates
|
|
|
|
Keyman does contact the keyman.com website periodically to check for updates for the keyboards and predictive text dictionaries you have installed.
|
|
In this process, the only information communicated is the current version of Keyman and the version of the keyboards and dictionaries.
|
|
|
|
## Crash Report Information
|
|
|
|
When enabled, the Keyman app will send crash reporting information to [Sentry](https://keyman.sentry.io). No personally identifiable information or keyboard strokes are recorded. This can be disabled in the Keyman [settings menu](../basic/config/).
