# Privacy & Security Guidelines
## Core Principles
### Privacy by Design
- Never collect or transmit user data without explicit consent
- All features must have privacy implications documented
- Default to the most private option
- Implement data minimization - only collect what's absolutely necessary
### Secure Storage
**Example:** See [secure-storage.swift](privacy-security/secure-storage.swift)
## Data Handling
### User Data Classification
1. **Sensitive Data**: Passwords, credentials, personal information
- Must use Keychain or encrypted storage
- Never log or transmit in plain text
- Clear on app logout/uninstall
2. **Private Data**: Browsing history, bookmarks, settings
- Store locally only
- Implement proper data clearing
- Respect fireproofing settings
3. **Anonymous Data**: Crash reports, usage statistics
- Only collect with user consent
- Strip all identifying information
- Use differential privacy where applicable
### Network Security
**Example:** See [network-security.swift](privacy-security/network-security.swift)
## Content Blocking
### Tracker Protection
**Example:** See [tracker-protection.swift](privacy-security/tracker-protection.swift)
### Cookie Management
**Example:** See [cookie-management.swift](privacy-security/cookie-management.swift)
## Authentication & Authorization
### Biometric Authentication
**Example:** See [biometric-authentication.swift](privacy-security/biometric-authentication.swift)
### Credential Management
**Example:** See [credential-management.swift](privacy-security/credential-management.swift)
## Error Handling
### Secure Error Messages
**Example:** See [secure-error-messages.swift](privacy-security/secure-error-messages.swift)
## Code Security
### Input Validation
**Example:** See [input-validation.swift](privacy-security/input-validation.swift)
### Secure Defaults
**Example:** See [secure-defaults.swift](privacy-security/secure-defaults.swift)
## Testing Security
### Security Test Cases
**Example:** See [security-test-cases.swift](privacy-security/security-test-cases.swift)
## Review Checklist
Before committing code, ensure:
- [ ] No hardcoded secrets or API keys
- [ ] All user data is properly classified and protected
- [ ] Network requests use HTTPS
- [ ] Input validation is implemented
- [ ] Error messages don't leak sensitive information
- [ ] Logging doesn't include PII
- [ ] Data clearing mechanisms are tested
- [ ] Privacy impact has been assessed
