No accounts. No telemetry.

ZBrowser app privacy policy. Last updated 3 November 2026.

ZBrowser is a local privacy browser published by Zbellbound Group, Denmark. This policy explains what ZBrowser does and does not do with your data.

Summary

• The ZBrowser app has no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry, and it never sends your browsing history, searches, cookies or page content to us.
• ZBrowser is still a browser on a network. The websites you visit, your network and your internet provider see your requests and your IP address, exactly as with any browser.
• Two optional features contact someone else: “Check for updates” contacts zbrowser.app, whose host can see your IP address; and if you turn on SmartScreen, the addresses you visit and download information go to Microsoft.
• The only personal data we receive directly is what you choose to email us.

What the app sends to us

No browsing data, and no accounts, analytics or telemetry. We do not know what you browse. The app contacts us only when you press “Check for updates” in Settings. Like any web request, that makes your IP address and the time of the request visible to the website’s host (see Update check under Third parties and services below).

Emails you send us

If you email [email protected] (for example to ask for help, to report a problem, or to ask for written permission to use ZBrowser for work or in an organization), we receive your email address and whatever you write, including details you choose to give us such as an organization name, country, number of devices and a contact person.

• What we use it for: to reply to you, and to decide on, and keep a record of, any permission we grant. We do not use it for marketing.
• Who sees it: the publisher, and the email service provider that delivers and stores the mail. We do not sell or share it for any other purpose.
• How long we keep it: only as long as needed for those purposes, and for as long as a permission we granted remains in effect.
• Your rights: you can ask us to show you, correct or delete what we hold about you by emailing [email protected]. You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet, https://www.datatilsynet.dk).

Information stored on your device

ZBrowser is designed to leave minimal local traces:

• Browsing data (history, cookies, cache, local storage) is written to a disposable per-session folder and is deleted when you close the browser or press Flush. Identity-bearing files are overwritten before deletion.
• Downloads, when enabled, go to a separate temporary folder and are encrypted after they finish, with a key held only in memory for the session. That folder is deleted when you close the browser or press Flush.
• Settings (your preferences only — no browsing data) are stored locally on your device.
• Diagnostic logging is off by default. When you enable it, logs are stored only on your device and never contain URLs, search terms, cookies, or browsing history.

This data stays on your device. It is not sent to us.

Third parties and services

ZBrowser relies on components and services that have their own data handling:

• Microsoft Edge WebView2 / Windows render web pages. Page rendering is handled by Microsoft’s components under Microsoft’s terms.
• Websites you visit receive normal network requests from your device (including your IP address), exactly as with any browser. ZBrowser is not a VPN or anonymity tool and does not hide your activity from websites, your network, or your internet provider.
• Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is off by default. If you turn it on in Settings, ZBrowser includes Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, which collects and sends the addresses you visit and download information to Microsoft to check for known phishing and malware, under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Windows settings may override this choice (SmartScreen stays off if it is disabled in Windows). SmartScreen warns only about known threats and is not complete malware protection. With SmartScreen off, ZBrowser does not send the addresses you visit to Microsoft for this check; ordinary browsing still sends requests to the websites you visit, through your network and internet provider.
• Update check happens only when you press “Check for updates” in Settings; ZBrowser never checks for updates automatically. It makes a single request to https://zbrowser.app/version.json to read the latest version number. ZBrowser sends no browsing data and adds no account, device or other identifier to the request. As with any web request, the server can see your IP address, and the website’s host may log it.
• Ad and tracker blocking uses a list bundled inside the app; using it sends no data off your device.

Data sharing and selling

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data. The app sends us no browsing data, and emails you send us are used only as described above.

Children

The ZBrowser app has no accounts and does not ask anyone, including children, for personal information. Like any web browser, it can access content on the internet, and websites you visit may collect data under their own policies.

Changes

We may update this policy; the “last updated” date will change accordingly.
