Privacy policy
Effective 5 October 2026
This policy explains how Shlay Studios ("we", "us") handles information when you use our mobile apps and this website. It applies to every app we publish.
The short version
- Our apps don't require an account.
- Files and content you open in our apps are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us.
- We don't sell your personal information.
- If you email us, we use your email only to reply and to fix the problem you reported.
Information we collect
Content on your device
Some apps work with files or information on your phone, for example a PDF you choose to open. This content is processed on your device. We do not upload it to our servers and we cannot see it.
Information you send us
If you contact us for support, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you choose to include, such as screenshots or your phone model.
Information collected by third-party services
Our apps are distributed through app stores like Google Play and may use the third-party services listed in Third-party services. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies.
Device permissions
An app asks for a permission only when it needs it for a feature you are using, such as access to a file you want to open. You can review or withdraw permissions at any time in your phone's settings. The permissions each app uses, and why, are listed in Details for each app.
How we use information
We use the limited information we receive to:
- reply to your messages and give support
- find and fix bugs and improve our apps
- keep our apps secure and prevent misuse
- meet our legal obligations
Third-party services
Our apps use these third-party services:
- Google Play: Distributing the apps, installs, updates and any purchases. Data involved: Information Google collects under its own policy when you use Google Play. Google Play privacy policy
Keeping and deleting your data
Data that an app stores on your device, like settings or history, stays on your device. You can delete it by clearing the app's data in your phone's settings or by uninstalling the app.
We keep support emails for as long as we need them to help you, and for a reasonable time afterwards in case you follow up. To ask us to delete them sooner, email hello@shlaystudios.com.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we handle. Because our apps keep your content on your device, the security of that content also depends on keeping your phone locked and up to date. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our apps are general-audience apps and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email hello@shlaystudios.com and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to how we use it. To make a request, email hello@shlaystudios.com. We will respond within the time required by the law that applies to you.
Details for each app
This section lists what each app asks for and what it does with your data. Everything above also applies to every app.
PDF Reader
Permissions: Files and documents (To open the PDFs you choose. The app only sees files you pick.)
- Documents you open are read on your device and are never uploaded.
- Your reading position and recent files are stored only on your device.
Calculator
Permissions: None.
- Calculation history is stored only on your device. Clearing it in the app deletes it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our apps or the law change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will also let you know in the app or on this website.
