Privacy Policy for ToolyKit

 

Privacy Policy for ToolyKit

Last Updated & Effective Date: August 21, 2026 (Updated for iOS: October 31, 2026)

This privacy policy applies to the ToolyKit application (also distributed as Tooly – All Smart Tools & AI) for iOS and iPadOS devices, together with any related services operated by Neelesh Sahu (collectively, the "Application"). Neelesh Sahu is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider", "we", "us", or "our".

1. Offline-First Architecture & Core Principle

ToolyKit is engineered primarily as an offline-first utility toolkit.

  • All calculations, unit conversions, image manipulation (compressing, cropping, watermarking, filters), OCR text recognition, compass readings, decibel measurements, and PDF processing are performed locally on your device.
  • We do not upload, store, monitor, or sell your documents, images, input numbers, or calculation results to any remote server.

2. Device Permissions (iOS & iPadOS)

The Application requests specific iOS hardware permissions strictly to provide on-device utility features. Each permission is requested on-demand only when you open or use that specific tool:

  • Camera (NSCameraUsageDescription): Required for scanning QR codes and barcodes, taking photos for image tools, and capturing images for optical character recognition (OCR). Camera streams and photos are processed in device memory only and are never uploaded or transmitted.
  • Photo Library Read Access (NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription): Allows you to select photos or documents from your library to compress, convert, crop, extract text from, or scan QR codes. We only access the specific images you select.
  • Photo Library Write Access (NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription): Allows you to save generated QR codes, processed images, and documents to your device’s Photos library.
  • Microphone (NSMicrophoneUsageDescription): Used exclusively by the Sound Level Meter tool to measure real-time ambient decibel levels. Audio is analyzed instantaneously in memory to calculate sound pressure level (dB). Audio is never recorded, saved, or transmitted.
  • Motion Sensors (NSMotionUsageDescription): Used by the Bubble Level and Compass tools to read real-time device tilt, orientation, and magnetic heading.
  • Location (NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription): Used by the GPS Coordinates and Altimeter tools to display your latitude, longitude, and elevation on your explicit request. Location data is never logged or tracked in the background.

3. Information Collection and Use

The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include:

  • Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Device type, model, and mobile operating system version (iOS/iPadOS)
  • The screens/tools of the Application that you visit, the date and time of your visit, and the time spent on those screens
  • Crash logs, error diagnostics, and application performance metrics

This data is used solely to maintain stability, diagnose crashes, understand feature popularity, and deliver core app services.

4. In-App Purchases (StoreKit)

The Application offers optional ToolyKit Premium subscriptions and lifetime purchases:

  • All financial transactions and renewals are processed directly by Apple through Apple StoreKit and your Apple ID.
  • The Service Provider never receives, handles, or stores your credit card, bank account, or billing information.
  • Apple provides us only with an anonymized transaction receipt to unlock premium features and disable ads.

5. Third-Party Access & SDKs

The Application integrates trusted third-party SDKs to support functionality, analytics, and advertising:

  • Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): For users on the free tier, third-party advertisements may be served. AdMob may collect and process device identifiers, general location, and ad interaction metrics in compliance with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework and Google’s privacy practices. (Upgrading to Premium removes all third-party advertisements).
  • Apple Inc. (App Store / StoreKit): Manages app distribution, updates, and in-app purchase validation.
  • Analytics & Crash Diagnostics: Diagnostic data is transmitted only in aggregated, anonymized form to aid the Service Provider in improving performance.

Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services. The Service Provider does not sell personal data to data brokers or third parties.

6. International Data Transfers

The Service Provider or its third-party service providers may transfer personal data to countries outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, the Service Provider will use appropriate mechanisms:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
  • Adequacy decisions or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms
  • Your consent, where required and legally permitted

7. Disclosure of Information

The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

  • As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
  • When they believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
  • With trusted service providers who work on their behalf, do not have an independent use of the information, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.

8. Data Retention Policy & Opt-Out

The Service Provider retains personal data based on its necessity for stated purposes:

  • Local On-Device Data: Calculation history, saved favorites, and custom preferences remain on your device until you clear them via the in-app Settings or uninstall the app.
  • Automatically Collected Diagnostic Data: Retained for up to 24 months from collection, unless longer retention is required for legal compliance.
  • Aggregated and Anonymized Data: Retained indefinitely as it no longer identifies any individual.

Opt-Out: You can stop all collection of information by uninstalling the Application. To request manual deletion of any personal data, contact the Service Provider at baneesitsolutions@gmail.com.

9. Your Rights (GDPR & Global)

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data held by the Service Provider. To exercise these rights, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, contact the Service Provider at baneesitsolutions@gmail.com.

10. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected, used, or shared;
  • Request deletion of your personal information;
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell your personal information);
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

11. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & App Store Compliance)

The Application is rated 4+ on the Apple App Store as a safe, general-purpose utility app. The Application is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 where required by applicable local law). The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you believe a child has provided personally identifiable information to the Service Provider, please contact us at baneesitsolutions@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete it.

12. Security & Data Breach Notification

The Service Provider provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information processed and maintained. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, the Service Provider will notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements, outlining the nature of the breach and corrective steps.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Service Provider may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy with a revised effective date and updating it within the Application under Settings > Privacy Policy.
