EditKit Privacy Policy
This policy explains what happens to your information when you use EditKit, the Android media app. EditKit is made by Albard Basumata ("we"). You can reach us at support@editkitapp.com.
The short version
- Your files never leave your phone. Audio, video and images are processed on your device. We never receive them.
- No account. EditKit has no sign-up or login, and we run no servers that hold your data.
- Two outside services do collect some data: Google AdMob, which provides optional ads, and RevenueCat, which manages Pro subscriptions. Google Play handles payments. The details are below.
Your media files
You choose files with Android's system file picker, or by sharing them to EditKit from another app. EditKit can only read the files you choose. It does not ask for permission to read your media library.
All processing happens on your phone. While a job runs, EditKit may keep temporary working files in its private storage, and it deletes them when the job ends. Finished files are saved to your phone, in Music/EditKit or Pictures/EditKit.
A file only leaves your phone if you send it yourself, for example with the Share button. It then goes to the app you picked, and that app's privacy policy applies.
What stays on your phone
EditKit keeps a small amount of information in its private storage. None of it is sent to us:
- The name, type, size, date and location on your phone of your latest export, for the Recent section on the Home screen.
- How many free Advanced exports you have used in each tool, and whether a watched ad is waiting to be used.
- That you have seen the welcome screen.
- Your last known Pro status, so Pro works offline.
This information is deleted when you clear EditKit's app data or uninstall the app. If you use Android's backup or move to a new phone, Android may copy it along with your other app data, except your Pro status and free-use counts, which are always left out.
Data collected by outside services
Google AdMob (ads)
EditKit only shows an ad when you choose to watch one to unlock an Advanced export. There are no ads on normal exports, and none for Pro subscribers. Google AdMob provides these ads through a software kit built into the app. According to Google's disclosure, the kit collects and shares the following for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate your device's general location.
- How you interact with the app and ads, including app launches, taps and video views.
- Diagnostic information, such as app launch time, hang rate and energy use.
- Device and account identifiers: the Android advertising ID, the app set ID and, if applicable, other identifiers related to signed-in accounts on the device.
Google encrypts this data in transit. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Android settings.
Where the law requires consent for ads, such as in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, EditKit shows Google's consent form before any ad. You can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy options.
Google explains how it uses this data in its Privacy Policy and on its page about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
RevenueCat (Pro subscriptions)
EditKit uses RevenueCat to check whether you have an active Pro subscription and to restore purchases. The app connects to RevenueCat to do this, including for people who have not subscribed. RevenueCat works for us as a data processor and handles:
- A random, anonymous ID created by the app. It is not linked to your name or email.
- Purchase information: your purchase history and the Google purchase token.
- Technical information, such as device type, operating system and when you last used the app.
- Your locale and currency code.
As with any internet connection, RevenueCat's servers also see your device's IP address when the app connects. Data is encrypted in transit and is stored on servers in the United States. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Google Play (downloads and payments)
Google Play processes all payments. We never see your card, UPI or bank details. Google gives us limited order details, such as the order number, product, price, date and country. It also gives us statistics about installs and crash reports from phones whose owners allow it. See Google's Privacy Policy.
If you email us
We receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use them to reply to you.
Android permissions
- Internet: for ads and for checking your subscription. Your media is never sent.
- Notifications (optional, Android 13 and later): to show progress during long conversions and exports. They also work without it.
- Foreground service: to keep long conversions and exports running when you leave the app.
- Google Play Billing: to buy Pro.
- Advertising ID: used by Google AdMob, as described above.
Why this data is used
If data protection laws such as the GDPR apply to you, these are our legal grounds:
- Your consent, for personalized ads where consent is required. You can withdraw it at any time in Settings → Privacy options.
- Providing the service you asked for, for your Pro subscription.
- Legitimate interests, for non-personalized ads, measuring and securing ads, preventing fraud and fixing problems.
- Legal duties, for tax and accounting records.
Sharing and transfers
We never share your media files, because we never have them. The data described above goes to Google and RevenueCat, who may process it in the United States and other countries, under their own safeguards. Otherwise we only disclose information if the law requires it.
How long data is kept, and how to delete it
- On your phone: until you clear EditKit's app data or uninstall it. The files you exported stay in your folders until you delete them.
- RevenueCat: for as long as it is needed to manage your subscription and meet legal duties. To ask us to delete it, email us. Include your Google Play order number if you have one, so that we can find your record. We cannot identify a record without it, because the ID is anonymous.
- Google: Google keeps ad and Play data under its own policies. You can manage it in your Google Account.
- Emails to us: for as long as we need them to help you, and you can ask us to delete them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or limit its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. To use these rights, email us. We hold very little that can identify you, so for most data we will point you to Google or RevenueCat.
Security
Keeping your media on your device is our main protection: we cannot lose or expose what we never receive. Data sent to the services above is encrypted in transit. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Children
EditKit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. We will tell you in the app if a change is significant.
