1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy describes how AXW Solutions (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information in connection with the Convertly mobile application (the “App”), distributed through Google Play under the package name com.axwcode.convertly.

It applies to the App and to any updated versions of it. It does not apply to third-party services that the App contacts, which operate under their own privacy policies — those are named individually in section 6.

By installing or using Convertly you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

2. Information we collect

AXW Solutions does not collect, receive, store or process any personal information about you. We do not operate any backend server, database or account system for Convertly. There is nowhere for your data to be sent to us, and we have no ability to identify an individual user of the App.

Specifically, the App does not:

• require or offer registration, sign-in, or a user account;
• collect your name, email address, phone number, or postal address;
• collect payment or financial account information — Convertly converts numbers you type in and never connects to a bank, wallet, exchange or payment provider;
• access your contacts, calendar, photos, camera, microphone, files, SMS messages, or call logs;
• collect advertising identifiers, and it contains no advertising SDKs;
• contain analytics, crash-reporting, attribution, or behavioural tracking SDKs;
• use cookies, web beacons, or cross-app or cross-site tracking of any kind;
• build a profile of you, or make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

The two categories of information the App does handle — data kept locally on your device, and data sent to third-party services in order to fetch rates and map tiles — are described in section 3, section 4 and section 6.

3. Information stored on your device

To make the App useful between sessions, Convertly saves a small amount of data in your device’s private application storage. This storage is sandboxed by the operating system: it is readable only by Convertly, it is not transmitted to us, and it is removed when you uninstall the App.

None of this information is backed up to us, synced to any account, or shared between devices by the App. If you have enabled Android’s own system backup for your device, Android may include app data in the backup it stores in your personal Google account; that backup is controlled by you and by Google, not by us, and is governed by Google’s privacy policy.

4. Location data

Convertly includes an optional feature that tags a saved conversion with the place where you made it, so that your history can show, for example, that you converted EUR to JPY while you were in Kyoto.

How the feature behaves

• It is off by default. Location is only used after you deliberately enable “location on exchange” in the App’s Settings and grant the operating-system location permission when prompted. If you never turn it on, the App never requests your position.
• Foreground only. A position is requested only at the moment you perform a conversion while the App is open and in use. Convertly does not request background location, does not track you continuously, and does not run location services when it is closed.
• Stored locally, not transmitted to us. The coordinates are written into the conversion record in the App’s private on-device storage described in section 3. They are not uploaded to AXW Solutions, because we operate no server to upload them to.
• Not attached to rate requests. Your coordinates are never included in the requests the App makes to the currency-rate or Bitcoin-price services.
• Revocable at any time. You can switch the feature off in the App’s Settings, or revoke the permission entirely in Android Settings → Apps → Convertly → Permissions. Conversions recorded afterwards will simply carry no coordinates.

The one case where location leaves your device

If a saved conversion has coordinates and you choose to open its map view, the App must download map imagery for that area. To do so it requests map tiles from the OpenStreetMap tile service. Those requests necessarily reveal, to OpenStreetMap, the map tile coordinates being viewed (an approximation of the location) together with your device’s IP address, in the same way that opening any web map does. This happens only when you open a map inside the App. See section 6 for the relevant policy link.

Deleting location data

Deleting a conversion record from the History tab deletes the coordinates stored with it. Clearing your history, or uninstalling the App, removes all of it. See section 9.

5. Permissions we request and why

Convertly requests the minimum set of Android permissions needed for its features:

Convertly does not request background location, contacts, camera, microphone, storage/media, phone, SMS, calendar, body sensors, or the advertising ID.

6. Third-party services

Convertly contains no advertising, analytics, attribution or tracking SDKs. It does, however, need to call a small number of public third-party endpoints to retrieve live data. When your device makes any internet request, the receiving service can see your device’s IP address and standard connection metadata; that is inherent to how the internet works and is true of every connected app. We do not control, and receive no copy of, what these providers log.

Rates and prices returned by these services are provided for general informational purposes and are not financial advice.

7. How we use information

Because we do not receive your information, we do not use it for any purpose. The data held on your device is used solely, and locally, to:

• perform the currency conversions you request;
• show your conversion history and the rate trends derived from it;
• show the map location of a past conversion, if you enabled that feature;
• remember your favourite currencies and app preferences.

We do not use any information for advertising, profiling, credit scoring, market research, or training machine learning models.

8. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We have never done so, and doing so is impossible given that we hold no user data.

We do not disclose information to advertisers, data brokers, or analytics providers. The only transfers of data that occur are the direct, functional requests from your own device to the third-party services listed in section 6. Should we ever be required by law to disclose information, we would be able to provide nothing about an individual user, because we hold nothing.

9. Data retention and deletion

We retain no data about you, so there is no retention period on our side. Data stored on your device is kept until you remove it. You are in complete control:

• Delete a single conversion: remove the entry from the History tab. Any coordinates saved with it are deleted at the same time.
• Clear all history: use the clear-history action in the App to erase every saved conversion, including all location tags.
• Reset preferences: turn the location feature off in Settings, or clear the App’s data via Android Settings → Apps → Convertly → Storage → Clear data.
• Delete everything: uninstalling Convertly permanently removes all of its on-device data, including history, favourites and settings.

Because deletion happens entirely on your device, no request to us is required — and we have no copy that could survive it. If you would still like written confirmation of this, contact us at axwsolutions@gmail.com.

10. Security

All network requests made by the App use encrypted HTTPS connections. Data saved by the App is held in the operating system’s private, per-application storage area, which Android isolates from other apps. Because no user data is transmitted to or stored by AXW Solutions, there is no server-side database of user information that could be breached.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and the security of your device itself — its lock screen, its operating-system updates, and any device backups you enable — remains your responsibility.

11. Children’s privacy

Convertly is a general-audience utility. It is not directed to children, is not designed to appeal to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). The App contains no advertising, no in-app purchases, no social features, no user-generated content, and no messaging.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us at axwsolutions@gmail.com. In practice, any information a child entered would exist only on that device and can be erased by clearing the App’s data or uninstalling it.

12. Your privacy rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR)

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Because AXW Solutions is not a controller of any personal data about you — the data never leaves your device — these rights are exercised directly and immediately by you, using the in-app controls described in section 9.

To the extent that data on your device is considered processing at all, our legal bases would be: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for the optional location feature, which you grant explicitly and may withdraw at any time; and legitimate interests / performance of the service (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)) for storing your conversion history and preferences so that the App works as expected.

If you are a California resident (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not collect the categories of personal information listed in the CCPA, we do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes beyond those permitted. You have the right to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of sale or sharing; because we hold no personal information, a request to know or delete will be answered by confirming that we hold nothing, and deletion of on-device data is carried out by you as described in section 9. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

Everyone

Regardless of where you live, you can achieve the practical effect of every one of these rights at any time by clearing the App’s history and data, revoking its permissions, or uninstalling it. Questions may be sent to axwsolutions@gmail.com; we aim to respond within 30 days.

13. International data transfers

We do not transfer your personal data internationally, because we do not receive it. The third-party services listed in section 6 operate their own infrastructure, which may be located in countries other than your own; requests to them are made directly from your device under their respective privacy policies.

14. Google Play Data safety disclosure

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App, to the services it relies on, or to legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and publish the new version at this same address. Material changes — for example, the introduction of any form of data collection — will additionally be announced in the App’s release notes on Google Play before they take effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
