Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-02-23

SimpleTools (“we”, “our”, or “us”) develops and publishes mobile applications and operates this website (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and your rights regarding your information.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications and websites operated under the SimpleTools brand.

Because individual apps may offer different features, the specific data collected may vary depending on the app and how you use it.

We aim to collect only the data reasonably necessary to provide and improve our Services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

Depending on the app, you may provide:

• Content inputs (such as text, images, or other materials) to use core app features
• Support communications (for example, when you contact us via our website or email)

If an app offers account features in the future, additional information such as email addresses may be collected as part of account creation.

2.2 Content Processed Through AI Features

Some apps may use artificial intelligence or third-party APIs to generate results based on content you submit.

If you use such features:

• Text or images you provide may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers
• Content is processed to generate the requested output
• We do not use your content for advertising purposes
• We do not intentionally perform facial recognition or create biometric identifiers

Third-party AI providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and data processing terms.

2.3 Technical and Usage Information

Our apps and website may collect limited technical information such as:

• Device type
• Operating system version
• App version
• Basic usage events
• Crash diagnostics

This information is used to maintain performance, improve stability, and prevent abuse. Analytics or crash-reporting tools may be enabled in certain apps to help us understand and improve functionality.

2.4 Purchases and Subscription Information

Subscriptions and purchases are processed by the Apple App Store (and potentially other app stores in future versions).

We do not receive your full payment details (such as credit card numbers).

We may receive limited information such as:

• Subscription status
• Product identifiers
• Transaction confirmation

If subscription management services are used, they may process identifiers necessary to validate entitlements.

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Provide core app functionality
• Process subscriptions and restore access
• Improve features and performance
• Respond to support requests
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse
• Maintain security and debug issues

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract (to provide the app functionality you request)
• Legitimate interests (such as improving app stability and preventing abuse)
• Consent (where required, such as for certain device permissions)
• Legal obligations

5. Sharing of Information

We may share limited information with service providers only as necessary to operate the Services.

These may include:

• App stores (for payment processing and subscription management)
• Analytics or crash-reporting providers (if enabled)
• Subscription management services (if used)
• AI processing providers (to generate requested outputs)
• Hosting or infrastructure providers

We require service providers to process data only for legitimate service purposes.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

6. International Data Transfers

Because we use global infrastructure providers, your information may be processed in countries outside your country of residence.

Where required by law, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• Provide the Services
• Fulfill legal obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements

Content processed for AI features may be retained by third-party providers according to their policies.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

• Access to your personal data
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of personal data
• Restriction of processing
• Objection to processing
• Data portability
• Withdrawal of consent

To exercise any rights, contact us via our Contact page. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. U.S. State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of certain U.S. states (including California), you may have additional rights regarding access, deletion, or correction of personal information.

SimpleTools does not sell personal information as defined under applicable state privacy laws.

Requests may be submitted through our Contact page.

10. Device Permissions

Certain app features may require access to:

• Camera
• Photo library
• Notifications (if enabled in future versions)

You may control these permissions through your device settings.

Such access is requested solely to enable the core functionality of the relevant feature within the app.

11. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top will reflect the latest revision.

Continued use of the Services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
