Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 5, 2026
1. Introduction
Fernando Teresa San José, operating under the brand AldeaCode (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our websites and products.
The short version: We don’t collect your personal data. Our tools process everything locally in your browser.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
2.1 Files and Content
When you use DuneTools or our browser extensions:
- Your files are never uploaded to any server
- All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly
- Your snippets and shortcuts are saved locally on your device using
chrome.storage.local - We have no access to your images, PDFs, videos, or audio files
- Extracted emails and data stay on your device
2.2 Personal Information
We do not collect:
- Names or email addresses (unless you contact us)
- IP addresses for tracking (except basic server logs)
- Device footprints
- Browsing history
- Detailed personal usage analytics (we only use aggregated, anonymized data for website optimization)
3. Specific Security: ProText Expander (Teclado)
Given the nature of ProText Expander, we apply strict privacy protocols to ensure the tool does not function as a keylogger:
- 100% Local Processing: The text you type and the shortcuts you expand are processed exclusively in your browser’s volatile memory. Nothing is sent to external servers.
- No Keystroke Buffer: We do not store a history of your keystrokes or log what you type.
- Sensitive Field Isolation: The extension is designed to ignore input in
passwordtype fields and sensitive data areas. - No Data Exfiltration: There is no network communication that transmits your written content to AldeaCode or any third party.
- Permission Transparency: The extension requires host_permissions (
<all_urls>) to detect your shortcuts on any website, andclipboardReadspecifically to enable the{{clipboard}}macro. These permissions are used strictly for local text expansion as described above.
4. Information We MAY Collect
