SoftAxes

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to SoftAxes. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use any application published by SoftAxes on the Google Play Store. Our current portfolio of apps includes:

As we continue to grow, we may publish additional apps in the future. Any new app will either be covered by an updated version of this policy or by a dedicated privacy policy published at the time of its release. We will always notify users of material changes. By installing or using any SoftAxes app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

2.3 Information Collected Through App Features

Certain features within our apps access device hardware or sensors as part of their core function. All such data is processed locally on your device unless explicitly stated otherwise. Detailed descriptions of each permission and how data is handled are provided in Section 4.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

4. App Permissions

Our apps request only the permissions necessary to deliver their features. The following permissions may be requested across our app portfolio. Each permission is listed with the app(s) that use it, the specific feature it enables, and how any associated data is handled.

4.1 RECORD_AUDIO

Permission: RECORD_AUDIO

Apps: All Languages Translator Used to capture voice input for the voice-to-text translation and real-time conversation translation features. Audio is processed entirely on-device via Android's built-in Speech Recognition API. No audio recordings are stored on-device or transmitted to any external server by SoftAxes.

4.2 CAMERA

Permission: CAMERA

Apps: All Languages Translator Used to capture images for the Camera Translation feature, which extracts text from images using ML Kit OCR and translates it. No images are stored, uploaded, or transmitted to any external server. The camera is only activated when the user explicitly opens the Camera Translation screen.

4.3 SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

Permission: SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

Apps: All Languages Translator Required to display a floating translation overlay over other apps (Magic Translation feature). This allows users to translate on-screen text without switching apps. The overlay is only activated when the user explicitly enables it in the app settings, and can be disabled at any time.

4.4 FOREGROUND_SERVICE

Permission: FOREGROUND_SERVICE

Apps: All Languages Translator Required to run the Magic Translation floating overlay as a foreground service, ensuring it remains active and visible while the user uses other apps. This permission is used in accordance with Android's foreground service requirements for user-visible, long-running operations.

4.5 FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE

Permission: FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE

Apps: All Languages Translator Required on Android 14 and above for foreground services that do not fit standard foreground service type categories. The Magic Translation overlay service uses this permission to maintain the floating interface across all apps as a special-use overlay, in full compliance with Android 14+ platform requirements.

4.6 BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE

Permission: BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE

Apps: All Languages Translator Used to enable the Magic Translation accessibility service, which reads on-screen text from other apps so it can be instantly translated without the user having to copy or switch apps. This permission allows our accessibility service to observe the content displayed on the screen solely for the purpose of extracting text for translation.We do not record, log, store, or transmit any of the screen content read by this service. All text extraction and translation processing is performed locally on the device. The accessibility service is only active when the user explicitly enables it through Android Accessibility Settings, and it can be disabled at any time from the same settings menu. This permission is classified by Android as a sensitive permission. In accordance with Google Play policy, it is used exclusively to power the core Magic Translation feature and for no other purpose.

Note: As we add new apps to our portfolio, this section will be updated to document any additional permissions those apps require, in accordance with Google Play’s Data Safety requirements.

5.3 Opting Out of Targeted Advertising

You may limit targeted advertising by resetting your device's advertising ID or opting out of interest-based ads through your device's Privacy or Google settings. Opting out does not eliminate ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission, strict access controls, and regular security reviews.
