This policy explains how Ai4u Limited (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use our mobile app Copy Text On Screen (the “App”) on iOS or Android, or contact us about it. It covers the App only. Our website, emokee.org, has its own privacy policy.
In short
- The App works without an account. We never ask for your name, email address or a login.
- Images you process, and the text produced from them, are handled entirely on your device. They are never uploaded to us or to anyone else.
- The App contains no advertising and no analytics, tracking or crash-reporting SDKs — no Firebase, no ad networks, no third-party trackers.
- Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play. We never see your payment details.
Information we handle
Content you process
- Images and text. You choose each image, by taking a photo, picking one from your library or sharing it to the App from another app. Text recognition runs entirely on your device, and the images and the text produced from them stay there. They are not uploaded to us or to any third party, and recognition does not need an internet connection.
- Where it goes next is up to you. If you copy, share or export text, it goes only to the app, file or person you choose, under their terms. Scans kept in the App are stored on your device only.
- Operating-system services. Some features rely on services built into your device. Content handled by those services is governed by your operating system’s privacy settings.
- Language packs. Some features use language packs that the App downloads to your device when you ask for them. Downloading a pack sends a request for that pack, not your images or text. Once downloaded, the feature runs on your device, even offline.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the Lifetime purchase are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. To unlock Pro features we receive only a purchase or receipt identifier from the store — never your name, card number or billing address.
Device permissions
The App may ask for camera access, to photograph text, and for access to the photos you pick. It does not ask for access to your whole storage. Permissions are requested only when the action you take needs them, and you can withdraw them at any time in your device settings. The App does not use your device’s location services.
Support
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to share (such as your email address) and the content of your message. If you attach an image to a support request, we use it only to help you and delete it when the request is closed.
Diagnostics from the stores
If you have chosen in your device settings to share diagnostics with developers, Apple or Google may provide us with aggregated crash statistics. These contain no images, text or personal identifiers.
The App does not collect or store account details, contact lists, location, advertising identifiers, usage analytics, or any record of the content you process. Because no identifiers are collected, we cannot link App usage to you.
How we use information
- To verify purchases and unlock Pro features on your device.
- To respond to support requests.
- To keep the App secure, fix problems, and meet legal and accounting obligations.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the providers needed to run the App, and only what they need:
- Apple and Google, which process payments and manage subscriptions under their own privacy policies, and which supply language packs on request.
- Email and hosting providers that store support correspondence.
- Authorities or other parties where the law requires it.
No ad networks, data brokers or analytics companies receive anything from us.
Retention
- Images and text. We store nothing on our servers. Everything stays on your device and is removed when you delete it, clear the App’s data or uninstall the App.
- Purchases. Purchase records are kept by Apple or Google under their own policies.
- Support. We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and to meet legal or accounting obligations, then delete it.
Security
Your images and text never leave your device through the App. Communication with the app stores for purchase verification and language-pack downloads is encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, but keeping your data on your device is the strongest protection we can offer.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a data-protection authority. Because the App stores no personal data with us, most requests are satisfied by clearing the App’s data or deleting the App. For anything else, write to [email protected] and we will respond.
International transfers
We are based in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Apple, Google and our email and hosting providers may process data in other countries under their own safeguards.
Children
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date. For material changes, we will also let you know in the App.
