This Privacy Policy explains how the app Image to text : Text to Speech ("the App"), published on Google Play by Nee Apps (Neelam Kumari) ("we", "us"), collects, uses and shares information. By using the App you agree to this policy.
Information you provide
Images, PDFs and text you choose to scan. When you take a photo, pick an image or PDF, or paste text, the App reads the text from it. Text recognition (OCR) runs on your device using Google ML Kit. Your images are not uploaded to our servers.
Text you translate or convert to speech. If you use online translation or the natural / AI voice for Text to Speech, the text you submit is sent to Google Cloud services (Google Cloud Translation and Google Cloud Text-to-Speech) to produce the result. Offline translation runs on your device using Google ML Kit.
PDF / Word conversion. If you use document conversion, the file you choose is sent to the conversion service (iLovePDF) only to perform the conversion.
Support emails. If you contact us, we receive your email address, your message and basic device information (device model, Android version, app version) that the App adds to the email.
Your scans, extracted text, audio files and history are stored locally on your device. You can delete them from the App's History screens or by uninstalling the App.
2. Information collected automatically
Advertising: The App shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID), IP address, approximate location and ad interaction data to show and measure ads. Users in the EEA/UK are asked for consent where required.
Analytics and crash reports: We use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Remote Config (Google) to understand app usage, fix crashes and manage app settings. These collect app usage events, device information, app instance IDs and crash logs.
Facebook SDK (Meta): used to measure app installs and app events for advertising campaigns. It may collect device identifiers and app event data.
Country detection: the App looks up your approximate country from your IP address (using ip-api.com / ipapi.co / country.is) to show the correct language list and prices. Precise location is not collected.
3. Purchases
Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your payment card details. We only receive the purchase status needed to unlock Pro features.
4. Permissions
Camera: to take photos of text for scanning. Photos are processed on the device.
Photos / files: only the images or documents you select are accessed.
Internet: for ads, translation, Text to Speech voices, conversion and analytics.
Microphone: only when you use voice input to type text by speaking. Speech is converted to text by your device's speech service; we do not record or store audio.
5. How we use information
To provide the App's features (OCR, translation, Text to Speech, conversion), to show ads, to process purchases, to improve the App and fix crashes, and to reply to your support requests. We do not sell your personal information.
