In brief: The app is designed to work locally on your device. We do not operate a backend server or store your personal files on infrastructure controlled by the developer. Optional Google Drive integration, AdMob advertising and Crashlytics diagnostics involve Google's services as described below.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how WordTheme / WordTheme Pro ("the App", "we", "our" or "us") accesses, processes and protects information when you use our application.
The App is designed with a privacy-first, local-first approach. Its main functionality operates directly on your device without relying on a backend server operated by the developer.
We do not collect or store users' personal files on our own servers. This policy applies to the Android and iOS versions of the App.
2. Information Accessed and Processed
2.1. Local files and folders
The App allows users to select files and folders stored on their devices. Access is granted through the operating system's file selection mechanisms, such as the Android file picker or the equivalent iOS document picker.
The App can access selected files and folders to provide its functionality, including:
- Browsing and selecting files.
- Reading file contents.
- Processing and managing files.
- Writing or modifying files when requested by the user and supported by the operating system.
Users retain control over their files and can manage access through the permissions and controls provided by their operating system.
2.2. Google Drive integration
The App provides optional integration with Google Drive. Users must explicitly authorize access to their Google Drive account through Google's authentication and authorization process.
Depending on the permissions granted, the App may:
- Read files stored in Google Drive.
- Access file names and metadata.
- Read file contents.
- Create or modify files in Google Drive.
- Write changes to Google Drive when explicitly requested by the user.
Google Drive access is used exclusively to provide the functionality requested by the user. Google Drive operations communicate with Google's infrastructure. Files remain on the user's device or within their Google Drive account.
The App does not operate its own backend server and does not transmit Google Drive files or contents to servers controlled by the developer.
We do not sell Google Drive data, use it for advertising, or use it for purposes unrelated to providing the application's functionality.
Google Drive access can be revoked at any time through your Google Account security settings.
Google API data is handled in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
2.3. Advertising — Google AdMob
The App uses Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements.
Although the App does not send users' personal files to our own servers, AdMob may independently collect and process certain information, including:
- IP address.
- Advertising identifiers.
- Device identifiers and device characteristics.
- Operating system information.
- Application and advertising interaction information.
- Advertising performance and diagnostic information.
This information may be used for advertising delivery, personalization where permitted, frequency management, measurement, fraud prevention and related advertising services.
Advertising data is processed by Google and potentially its advertising partners under their respective privacy policies. Where required by applicable law, appropriate consent will be obtained before processing information for consent-dependent advertising purposes.
Users can manage their advertising preferences through the available consent mechanisms and their device settings.

2.4. Diagnostics and crash reporting — Firebase Crashlytics
The App uses Firebase Crashlytics, a service provided by Google, to automatically collect crash reports and technical diagnostic information.
Automatic crash reporting helps us identify technical problems, investigate application crashes and improve application stability.
Crashlytics may collect information such as:
- Crash reports and stack traces.
- Device model and operating system version.
- Application version.
- Crash timestamps.
- Installation identifiers.
- Technical information about the application's state at the time of a crash.
This information is transmitted to Google's Firebase infrastructure for diagnostic and maintenance purposes.
Crashlytics is not intended to collect the contents of personal files or Google Drive documents. We do not use crash reports to identify or collect the contents of users' personal documents.
Crash-related information is processed and retained according to Google's Firebase policies. Learn more: Firebase Privacy and Security.
3. How Information Is Used
The App processes information for the following purposes:
- Providing the application's core functionality.
- Accessing and processing files selected by users.
- Reading and writing files through authorized Google Drive integration.
- Displaying advertisements through Google AdMob.
- Automatically identifying and diagnosing application crashes through Firebase Crashlytics.
- Improving application stability and performance.
User files and application data required for the App's core functionality are processed locally or through the user's authorized Google Drive account.
We do not operate a backend server or maintain a remote database containing users' personal files.
5. Data Storage and Retention
The App does not maintain its own backend infrastructure or remote database for storing users' personal files or application data.
- Local files: Remain on the user's device and are accessed through the operating system's file selection mechanisms.
- Google Drive files: Remain within the user's Google Drive account, subject to Google's storage and retention policies.
- Advertising information: May be retained and processed by Google according to AdMob policies.
- Crash reports: May be retained and processed by Google according to Firebase Crashlytics policies.
Uninstalling the App removes its locally stored application data according to the operating system's behavior. It does not necessarily delete files stored in shared device folders, Google Drive or information already processed by third-party services.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App.
The App relies on the security mechanisms provided by Android, iOS and Google's services. Access to local files and Google Drive is subject to user authorization.
Communications with Google services rely on the security mechanisms provided by those services, including encryption in transit where supported.
Because the App does not operate its own backend server, we do not maintain a centralized database of users' personal files.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee absolute security.
7. User Rights and Privacy Controls
Users remain in control of their files and third-party service authorizations. You can:
- Select which local files and folders the App can access.
- Manage file access through your device's operating system.
- Authorize or revoke Google Drive access through your Google Account settings.
- Manage advertising preferences through available consent settings.
- Manage your device's advertising identifier through its system settings.
- Contact us with questions or requests concerning personal information processed in connection with the App.
Where applicable under data protection legislation, users may also exercise their rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of their personal data.
Where processing is based on consent, users may withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.
To exercise applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 11.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
9. International Data Transfers
The App itself does not operate servers or databases for storing users' personal files.
However, third-party services integrated into the App, including Google AdMob and Firebase Crashlytics, may process information on infrastructure located in different countries.
Google's services may therefore involve international data transfers subject to Google's applicable data protection commitments and safeguards.
For more information, consult the Google Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the application's features, third-party integrations or applicable legal requirements.
Any revised version will be published at the same location with an updated revision date.
We encourage users to review this page periodically.
