The short version
- The Apps do not have accounts, do not send us your data, and do not include ads, analytics or tracking SDKs.
- Your tool inputs, history and settings stay on your device.
- Two features connect to the internet, only when you use them or when the app opens: PingZ (checks a host you choose) and the update check (asks Apple's App Store whether a newer version exists). Details below.
1. What we collect
We collect no personal data. We do not operate servers that receive data from the Apps. We cannot see what you type, photograph, scan or calculate.
2. Data stored on your device
The Apps store the following on your device only, using Apple's local storage (UserDefaults, app storage, and the app's shared container for widgets). We cannot read it. It is deleted when you delete the app.
- Settings and preferences, such as timer durations, favorites, tool order and keyboard shortcuts.
- Local tool-use counts on iPhone, which only order the "For You" list.
- Tool history you keep: TipZ bill history (last 10 bills), and recent conversion and other tool results where the app saves them.
- InvoiceZ details you enter, such as your business name, logo and invoice numbering.
- Widget data shared between the app and its widgets.
Some history is kept only while the app is running and is cleared when you quit or relaunch: PassZ recent passwords, HashZ recent hashes, and the ToolzPad Desktop clipboard history (up to 50 items).
3. Permissions and how each is used
Each permission is requested only when you use the tool that needs it. You can deny any permission; only that tool is affected.
| Permission | Tool | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | ScanZ, QRZ (iPhone and iPad) | Text and QR code recognition. Processed on the device. Not saved or sent. |
| Photo Library (read) | ScanZ, EraseZ, ShrinkZ, DocZ, WatermarkZ, FileConvertZ, GifZ | The photos you select are processed on the device. Not uploaded. |
| Photo Library (add) | Saving compressed or edited images | Writes the images you save to your Photos library. |
| Location (when in use) | CompassZ (iPhone and iPad) | Shows heading, coordinates and bearing calculations on the device. Not stored and not sent. |
| Screen Recording | TextScanz, ColorPikz, RulerZ, ScreenRecZ (Mac) | Captures the screen area you choose to read text, pick colors, measure, or record. Processed on the device. Recordings are saved only where you choose. |
| Clipboard (Mac, no permission prompt) | ClipboardZ (Mac) | The app watches the clipboard while it runs to build the history you see. Items stay in memory, are not written to disk, and are cleared when you quit. |
4. Network connections
- PingZ: when you run a check, the app sends a request to the host you type. That host, and your internet provider, see your IP address and the request, as they would for any web request. We do not receive it.
- Update check: when the app opens, it asks Apple's iTunes Lookup service for the current App Store version of ToolzPad. Apple receives the request, including your IP address, as with any App Store request. The app does not download or install anything.
- Purchase verification: the app checks its App Store receipt with Apple's StoreKit. This is handled by Apple.
- No other network connections are made by the Apps.
5. AI assistants (ToolzPad Desktop MCP server)
ToolzPad Desktop includes an MCP server that lets AI assistants you choose (for example Claude or Cursor) run ToolzPad tools. The server runs on your Mac and talks only to the assistant you connect. Any data you send through an assistant, including tool outputs, is handled by that assistant's provider under its own privacy policy and terms. We do not receive it.
6. Analytics, advertising and third parties
- We do not use analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking in the Apps.
- We do not use the advertising identifier and do not request App Tracking Transparency permission.
- We do not sell or share data, because we do not hold any.
- The Apps include no third-party SDKs. Apple provides the App Store, StoreKit and iTunes Lookup services described above.
7. Website
The website at toolzpad.uncle-z.com and uncle-z.com uses Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we run on our own server. Umami sets no cookies and records page views in aggregate. It keeps a small value in your browser's local storage to count visits. Your browser or hosting provider may keep standard server logs.
8. Children
The Apps do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children, because they collect no personal data. The Apps do not require an account.
9. Your rights
Under Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU No. 27/2022) and similar laws, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection regarding personal data held about you. Because the Apps do not send us personal data, we normally hold none. If you believe we hold data about you, contact us and we will confirm.
To remove data the Apps store on your device, delete the app.
10. Security
Data stays on your device, protected by your device's security. We have no server-side data to breach. You are responsible for securing your device and any backups you make (iCloud or Mac backup), which are handled by Apple.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top will change, and the current version will always be at this page. Material changes will also be noted in the Apps' release notes.
