This Privacy Policy explains how the Stylish Text Art Android app (the “App”), published by Masum Hossain (“we”, “us”), handles information. We built the App so your text stays on your device: we do not run servers that receive your data, and we do not ask you to create an account.
1. Information stored on your device
The App keeps the following only in its private storage on your device. It is never sent to us.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Text you type into the App | To generate styles, transformations and repeated text. It is processed on your device and is not saved unless you copy, share or favorite the result. |
| Favorites | Items you choose to save. |
| Copy history | The last 100 items you copied or shared, so you can find them again. |
| Recently used styles | To show the “Recent” filter. |
| Settings | Your theme and color preferences. |
| Usage counter | A count of copies/shares, used only to decide when to show a request to rate the App. |
| “Remove ads” status | To keep ads hidden after a purchase, including when you are offline. |
Device backup. If Android backup is turned on, Android may include this App data in your device backup (for example, Google’s backup to your Google account), under the terms of your backup provider. You can manage this in your device’s backup settings.
2. Text from other apps
The App adds a “Stylish text” option to the text-selection menu of other apps. The App only receives the text you selected, and only when you tap that option. The text is styled on your device and returned to the app you came from (or copied to your clipboard). It is not stored, apart from a copy history entry for the style you choose, and it is never sent to us.
3. Clipboard
The App writes to your clipboard only when you tap copy. It does not read your clipboard.
4. Third-party services
The App uses the following services provided by Google. They collect and process information under their own privacy policies.
Google AdMob Advertising
The App shows banner, full-screen and native ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, AdMob may collect:
- Your device’s advertising ID (and, on supported Android versions, Privacy Sandbox signals such as ad topics and attribution)
- IP address, which may be used to estimate your approximate location
- Device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language and App version
- Ad interactions, such as views and taps
Whether ads are personalized depends on your choices and local law (see Your choices). Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Google User Messaging Platform Consent
Where required (for example, in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states), the App uses Google’s User Messaging Platform to ask for and store your consent choices about ads. Google processes this information to record and respect your choices.
Google Play Billing Purchases
The optional “Remove ads” purchase is processed entirely by Google Play. We never receive your name, email or payment details. The App only receives confirmation of whether the purchase belongs to your Google account, so it can turn ads off. See the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Payments Privacy Notice.
The App does not include any other analytics, crash-reporting or tracking tools.
5. Permissions
- Internet and network state: to load ads and to contact Google Play for purchases.
- Advertising ID (and Android ad services): used by Google AdMob as described above.
- Google Play billing: to offer the “Remove ads” purchase.
The App does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, photos or files.
6. Your choices and rights
- Ad consent: if you were shown a consent form, you can change your choice at any time in the App under Settings → Privacy options.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in your device settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Ads or Settings → Google → Ads).
- Remove ads: buying “Remove ads” stops all ads in the App.
- Delete your data: clear favorites and history inside the App (Saved tab), clear the App’s data in your device settings, or uninstall the App. Because we hold no data on our own servers, there is nothing else for us to delete.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or under US state privacy laws), you may have rights to access, delete or object to the processing of personal data. As we don’t hold your data, most requests are best handled with the controls above or directly with Google for ad-related data. You can still contact us with any request or question. Where the GDPR applies, personalized ads rely on your consent, and non-personalized ads and fraud prevention rely on legitimate interests in funding a free app. We do not sell your personal information.
7. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us.
8. Retention and security
Data stored by the App stays on your device until you delete it, clear the App’s data or uninstall the App. Copy history keeps at most the last 100 items. Data collected by Google services is kept according to Google’s policies. We rely on Android’s app sandboxing to protect data stored by the App, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features. We will change the effective date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we may also tell you in the App or on its Google Play listing.
