Privacy Policy and Terms of Use – Magnifier
Effective date: October 27, 2026
This page contains two parts: Part 1 is the Privacy Policy and Part 2 is the Terms of Use for the Magnifier app for Android. By using the app, you agree to both.
PART 1 – PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy explains how Freshness Mobile Solusions ("we", "us") handles information when you use the Magnifier app for Android (package name com.freshness.magnifyingglass). Magnifier turns your phone's camera into a magnifying glass, lets you save magnified pictures, and can read text in front of the camera aloud.
In short: the camera picture and the text recognized in it stay on your phone. We do not run our own servers, we do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal information. The app shows ads through Google AdMob, and AdMob collects some device information as described below.
1. Information processed on your device
• Camera. The app uses the camera only while you are using the magnifier. The live picture is shown on screen and is not recorded or sent to us.
• Text recognition. When you tap Read aloud, the app recognizes text in the picture using Google ML Kit, which runs on your phone through Google Play services. The picture is not uploaded to read it. The recognition model is downloaded by Google Play services the first time it is needed.
• Reading aloud. Recognized text is passed to the text-to-speech engine installed on your phone (for example, Speech Services by Google). That engine is provided by a third party and is governed by its own privacy policy; most engines run on the device.
• Saved pictures. Pictures you choose to save are stored on your phone in the folder Pictures/Freshness Magnifier. They are not uploaded. You can delete them in the app or with your phone's gallery. If you tap Share, the picture is sent only to the app or person you choose.
• Settings. Your preferences (such as language, speaking speed and focus mode) are stored on your phone. If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include these settings in your device backup, as it does for other apps.
2. Information collected by third-party services
The app uses the following Google services. They may collect information automatically when you use the app, under Google's own policies:
• Google AdMob (advertising). AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address (from which an approximate location may be inferred), device and app information, ad interactions and diagnostic data, in order to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud. On supported Android versions AdMob may also use the Android Privacy Sandbox advertising APIs (Topics, Attribution).
• Google User Messaging Platform (consent). In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and stores your choice on your phone.
• Google ML Kit (text recognition). ML Kit runs on your phone. Google may collect limited usage and performance information about the ML Kit API to maintain and improve it; this does not include the pictures you read.
• Google Play Billing (purchases). If you buy Remove ads, payment is handled entirely by Google Play. We do not receive your card or payment details; the app only receives confirmation of which plan you own.
• Google Play In-App Review. If you choose to write a review from inside the app, the review is handled by Google Play.

3. What we do not collect
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts or precise location.
• We do not collect or store your camera pictures, saved pictures or the text that is read aloud.
• We do not create user accounts and we do not sell or rent personal information.
4. Permissions the app uses
• Camera – to show the magnified picture and to read text aloud.
• Internet and network state – to load ads, check purchases, and let Google Play services download the text-recognition model.
• Advertising ID – used by AdMob for advertising and fraud prevention.
• Storage (Android 9 and below only) – to save pictures you choose to keep. On newer Android versions no storage permission is needed.
• Billing – to offer the Remove ads purchase.
5. Your choices
• Ads personalization: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your phone's Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads, depending on your device).
• Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): your consent choice is stored on your phone. You can make a new choice by clearing the app's data or reinstalling the app.
• Remove ads: a paid plan removes ads from the app.
• Camera: you can revoke the camera permission at any time in your phone's settings. The magnifier will not work without it.
• Delete your data: uninstalling the app removes its settings. Saved pictures stay in your Pictures folder until you delete them.
6. Data retention and security
Because the camera picture, recognized text and saved pictures stay on your device, they are kept only as long as you keep them. Information collected by Google services is retained according to Google's policies. Data exchanged with Google services is encrypted in transit.
7. Children
The app is a general reading aid and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe, the CCPA/CPRA in California, or Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Decree), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal information. Because we do not hold personal information on our own servers, most requests concern data held by Google; you can manage that at https://myaccount.google.com . For any question or request, contact us at the address below.
9. Not a medical device
Magnifier is a reading aid. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. If a change is significant, we will also tell you in the app or on the Google Play listing.
PART 2 – TERMS OF USE
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Freshness Mobile Solusions ("we", "us") for the Magnifier app for Android (package name com.freshness.magnifyingglass). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
1. What the app does
Magnifier uses your phone's camera to magnify printed text and objects, with a light, brightness and light-source controls, a hold-still function, a picture library, and a Read aloud function that recognizes text and reads it using the text-to-speech voice installed on your phone. Available magnification depends on your phone's camera.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app on Android devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell or redistribute the app, except where the law allows it.
3. Not a medical device; check important information
The app is a reading aid. It is not a medical device, it is not a substitute for glasses, low-vision devices or professional advice, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Text recognition and reading aloud are automatic and can make mistakes – for example, misread numbers, missed lines or wrong pronunciation. Always check important information, such as medicine names and doses, prices, dates or legal and financial documents, against the original printed text or with a pharmacist or other qualified person. Do not use the app while driving or in any situation where looking at your phone could be unsafe.
4. Acceptable use
• Use the app only in lawful ways and respect other people's privacy. Do not use it to photograph or record people, documents or places without the permission required by law.
• Do not interfere with the app, its ads or its purchase system, or try to get paid features without paying.
5. Ads
The free version of the app shows ads provided by Google AdMob. Ads are provided by third parties; we are not responsible for their content or for products and services they promote. See Part 1 (Privacy Policy) for how ads use information.
6. Remove ads: subscriptions and one-time purchase
• The app may offer paid plans to remove ads: a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription and a one-time (lifetime) purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country.
• Payments are processed by Google Play and charged to your Google Play account.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. You can cancel any time in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future charges; the plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
• If a free trial is offered, you will be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
• Refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policy: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637
• The lifetime purchase removes ads for as long as the app is available on Google Play and linked to the same Google account. Use Restore a previous purchase in the app if you reinstall or change phones.
7. Third-party services
The app relies on services provided by others, including Google Play services, Google ML Kit, Google AdMob, Google Play Billing and the text-to-speech engine on your phone. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms. We are not responsible if a third-party service is unavailable or changes.
8. Your pictures
Pictures you save stay on your phone and belong to you. You are responsible for keeping copies of pictures you want to keep: they may be lost if you reset your phone, uninstall the app, or move to a new device.
9. Intellectual property
The app, its design, code, name, icon and content are owned by Freshness Mobile Solusions or its licensors and are protected by law. These Terms do not give you any right to use our trademarks.
10. Updates and availability
We may update, change or stop offering the app or any feature at any time. Some updates may be required to keep using the app. We do not guarantee that the app will be available at all times or work on every device.
11. Disclaimer
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from reliance on text recognized or read aloud by the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.
13. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your license if you break these Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rights you have in your country of residence.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. If you keep using the app after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
