Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 27, 2026 | App Name: Binary Code Translator
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy. This policy describes how Binary Code Translator ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our mobile application.
1. Local Processing & Privacy First Philosophy
Binary Code Translator is designed as an offline-first tool. All text conversions, binary calculations, base number conversions, file translations, and history logs occur entirely on your local device.
- We do NOT collect, upload, store, or transmit your personal input text, converted values, or file content to external servers.
- Your conversion history and saved favorites are stored locally in an encrypted SQLite database on your device and never leave your phone.
2. App Permissions Used
To deliver core functionality, Binary Code Translator requests the following permissions:
- INTERNET (android.permission.INTERNET): Required to load contextual advertisements (via Google AdMob), fetch remote maintenance status updates, and support push notification delivery.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Used to verify active network connectivity before requesting advertisement banners or app update checks.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Requested on devices running Android 13 (API level 33) or higher to deliver optional app updates, announcements, or notifications. You can enable or disable notifications at any time in your device system settings.
- Storage Access Framework (SAF): When you use the File Translator feature to import or export files, the app uses Android's native Storage Access Framework picker. This ensures that you explicitly select only the exact file destination without granting broad storage access permissions to your device.
3. Advertising & Third-Party SDKs
To keep Binary Code Translator free to use, we integrate trusted third-party service providers that may process non-personally identifiable information:
- Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display banner, native, app open, and interstitial advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as Advertising ID), IP addresses, and app usage performance metrics to serve contextually relevant ads and prevent fraud. For more details, review Google's Privacy & Terms.
- OneSignal: We integrate OneSignal SDK for optional push notification delivery and communication. OneSignal may collect device identifiers and usage telemetry to manage notification preferences. Learn more in OneSignal's Privacy Policy.
- Google Play In-App Updates: We utilize Google Play Core libraries to check for app updates directly through the Google Play Store.
4. Children's Privacy
Binary Code Translator is a general audience utility intended for educational, technical, and general productivity purposes.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
- Since all core app features operate offline and do not require user account registration, no personal identifiable information is gathered from any user, including children.
- Advertisements served through Google AdMob comply with Google Play Families policy standards when deployed for general and student audiences.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
Because all history logs and saved favorites are stored locally on your device:
- You can delete individual history records or clear your entire translation history anytime within the app's History screen.
- Uninstalling the app from your device will permanently remove all stored local data, history items, and preference settings.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in app functionality or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date.
