Privacy Policy for Termux

Last updated: 25 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Termux application (“Termux”, “the app”, “we”) handles information. Termux is a free and open-source terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android.

Summary

Termux does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. There are no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, and no user accounts.

Information We Collect

We collect nothing. Termux does not gather personal data, usage statistics, device identifiers, or any other information about you, and it does not send any data to us or to third parties.

All commands you run, files you create, and data you generate stay on your device under your control.

Permissions

Termux requests Android permissions only to provide functionality you explicitly use. Permissions are used solely on your device and never transmit data to us. These may include:

You can grant or revoke any permission at any time in your device’s Android settings.

Network Activity

Termux itself does not contact any server on its own. Network connections happen only when you run a command that does so — for example installing a package or using a network tool. In those cases, data is exchanged directly between your device and the server you chose, not with the Termux developers.

Third-Party Software

Termux lets you install and run additional open-source software packages. Such software is provided by third parties and is governed by its own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for how third-party packages handle data.

Children’s Privacy

Termux does not collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted at this location with an updated revision date.
