Utilix Privacy Policy

Effective date: 16 October 2026 · App: Utilix (package com.amq.tools) · Developer: Abdallah Qasem

Utilix is a collection of offline utility tools (calculators, converters, scanners, sensors, games, device tests, and more). This policy explains what information the app uses, what stays on your device, and what is shared with third parties such as Google (advertising and anonymous usage statistics).

1. Summary

2. Information we do not collect

We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or payment details. We do not run our own servers that store your data, and we do not sell personal information.

3. Data stored on your device

The following is stored locally and is never uploaded by us: favorites, theme and language choice, notes, checklists, invoices and product lists, counters, scan and PDF files, audio and screen recordings, motion-camera captures, encrypted files created with File Locker, colour palettes, speed-test history, and game scores. Uninstalling the app removes this data. Items you export, save to your gallery, or share are handled by the app you choose to share with.

4. Network access

My IP addressAsks public services (such as ipify and ipwho.is) for your public IP and approximate location details.

Each permission is requested only when you open a tool that needs it. Sensor, camera, and microphone data is processed on your device and is not sent to us.

6. Advertising

Utilix uses Google AdMob to display banner, native, interstitial, and optional rewarded ads. AdMob may collect and use information such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and ad interaction data to show ads and measure their performance. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and where required, the app shows a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform) before personalised ads are requested, and you can change your choice later from Settings. You can also reset or opt out of the advertising ID in your Android settings (Settings, Google, Ads). See how Google uses data from ads and the Google Privacy Policy.

7. Anonymous usage statistics

Utilix uses Google Firebase Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to understand how the app is used so that we can improve it. The data is anonymous and is not linked to your name, email, or account (we do not have accounts). It includes: a random app-instance identifier, the events "app opened", "tool opened" (the id of the tool, for example "calculator"), "language changed" and "search", general device information such as device model, Android version, app version, language, and approximate country, and, where available, the advertising ID. We never send your notes, files, scans, recordings, text, locations, or other content. Google processes this data on our behalf under its terms for Firebase (Firebase privacy information).

Statistics are collected only if you leave the switch on at Settings, Usage statistics. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and where required, collection starts only after you give consent in the consent form. You can turn statistics off at any time and the app will stop sending them. We do not sell this data and do not use it for advertising.

8. Children

Utilix is a general-audience utility app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Data security and retention

Local data remains in the app's private storage on your device. File Locker encrypts files with AES-256 using a key derived from your password; we cannot recover a forgotten password. Because we do not collect your content, we have no server-side retention of it. Anonymous statistics are kept by Google Firebase according to its data retention settings. Data held by third parties such as Google AdMob and Firebase Analytics is governed by their policies.

10. Your choices

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app changes. The effective date above shows the latest version.
