Privacy Policy

1. ToolsOx Android app

The Android app provides text, developer, document, image, conversion, calculation, business, security, network and reference tools. It does not require an account, sign-up, subscription or payment-card information.

2. Information entered into Android tools

Most tools process text, numbers, images or documents on the user's device. Input used by a local tool is not uploaded to ToolsOx. A tool that needs current public information sends only the host, URL, public identifier or lookup value needed for the user-requested operation to the relevant external service. Users should not put passwords, private keys, confidential URLs or regulated personal information into public network lookups.

3. Android files, camera, microphone and sensors

• Image and document tools use Android's system file picker, which limits access to items selected by the user.
• Camera permission is requested only in Magnifier and the live camera mode of Color Detector. Visible preview frames are not uploaded or retained by ToolsOx.
• Document and QR/barcode scanners use on-device scanner components provided through Google Play services. A component may need a one-time download.
• Microphone permission is requested only when the user starts Speech to Text. The installed Android speech-recognition provider may process audio under its own terms and may require internet access.
• Text to Speech uses the engine selected on the device. Measurement and compass tools read available sensors only while the workspace is visible.

4. Information stored by the Android app

The app stores saved-tool and recent-tool identifiers, advertising/privacy consent state, advertising frequency timestamps, and the expiry time of an optional Focus Mode reward locally on the device. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes this local state.

5. Android advertising and consent

ToolsOx is free and supported by advertising. The Android app uses Google Mobile Ads and Google's User Messaging Platform. Depending on region, device settings and user choices, Google and participating advertising partners may process IP address, device and app information, advertising identifiers, consent signals, ad interactions and diagnostic information to deliver, limit, measure, secure or personalize advertising. The applicable privacy flow is requested before eligible ads. Where available, choices can be reopened from Settings.

Banner or native ads remain outside tool inputs, results and action controls. App-open, interstitial and rewarded formats share a limit of six displayed full-screen ads in a rolling 24-hour window, with at least ten minutes between displays. Availability, consent, Focus Mode and safety checks can result in fewer displays. Rewarded ads are optional and declining one does not lock a core tool.

6. Android permissions

Internet and network-state access support online tools, device network diagnostics, advertising and consent. Camera and microphone access are limited to the user-initiated features described above. The app does not request runtime access to contacts, location, SMS, call logs, phone state, notifications, accessibility services, device-administrator access or broad storage.

7. ToolsOx website

Website tools may process text, URLs, domains, files or other values submitted by the visitor. Some tools operate in the browser and some use a server or relevant public service. Standard server logs may contain IP address, request time, user agent and requested path for security, reliability and troubleshooting. Do not submit secrets to a tool unless its instructions make the processing method suitable for that data.

8. Website analytics and cookies

The website may use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand aggregate traffic and improve performance. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and process browser, device, approximate location and interaction data under Google's terms. Browser controls can be used to limit cookies. See our Cookies Policy.

9. Feedback and problem reports

Android feedback actions open the user's email app; nothing is sent automatically. A problem-report draft may include the app version, Android version, API level, manufacturer and device model. It does not automatically attach tool input, selected files, screenshots, app logs, advertising identifiers or account information.

10. Sharing, sale and retention

ToolsOx does not sell tool input. Local Android-tool input is not sent to ToolsOx. Public network lookups and advertising information are processed by the external provider needed for those services. Local app state remains until cleared or uninstalled. Website logs, analytics services, network destinations and advertising providers apply their own retention practices.

11. Security

We use measures appropriate to the product, including Android application isolation, system file pickers, bounded input processing and HTTPS where supported. No application, storage method or transmission can be guaranteed perfectly secure. Keep original files, verify important output and avoid entering secrets into public lookups.

12. Children

ToolsOx is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly create profiles for children.

13. Choices and rights

Users may decline optional rewarded ads, reopen available privacy choices, avoid network tools, manage website cookies, clear Android app data or uninstall the app. Data-protection rights vary by jurisdiction. Contact us to make a privacy request.

14. Changes

Material changes to our data handling or advertising practices will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. Where required, the app will request updated consent.
