Esoteric Input Privacy Policy

Keyboard input

When Esoteric Input is enabled as a keyboard, Android allows it to send the keys you select to the text field in the app you are currently using. Esoteric Input processes those selections on your device and passes the selected Unicode characters to the receiving app through Android’s input-method system.

Esoteric Input does not log, save or transmit the text you type. The app in which you enter text may process that text according to its own privacy policy. Hod Publishing Ltd. does not control how another app handles text entered into it.

Settings stored on your device

Esoteric Input stores a small number of preferences on your device, such as your active symbol collection and selected character forms. These preferences do not contain the text you type and are not sent to Hod Publishing Ltd.

Android backup

Esoteric Input is configured to disallow Android backup of its app data. Its locally stored preferences are therefore not intentionally included in Android cloud backup or device-transfer backup by the app.

Permissions and network access

Esoteric Input does not request internet access and does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files or advertising identifier. It uses Android’s input-method functionality solely to operate as a keyboard.

Analytics, advertising and accounts

Esoteric Input contains no analytics, crash-reporting or advertising SDKs, displays no advertising and does not require an account. The app does not send usage statistics, typed content or device identifiers to Hod Publishing Ltd.

Google Play, Android and external links

Google Play and Android may process purchase, installation, security and diagnostic information as part of distributing and operating the app. Google may make transaction or diagnostic reports available to Hod Publishing Ltd. Hod Publishing Ltd. uses that information only for distribution, customer support, refunds, accounting, fraud prevention and legal compliance. Google’s processing is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and your Google account settings; Esoteric Input itself does not access or transmit that information.

Esoteric Input may provide links that open Google Play or this Privacy Policy. Those links are opened by your browser or another installed app; Esoteric Input does not receive your browsing activity. The destination service may process information under its own privacy policy.

Data retention and deletion

Because Hod Publishing Ltd. does not collect personal data through Esoteric Input, it has no server-held app data to retain or delete. Locally stored preferences can be removed by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app.

Records made available through Google Play may be retained as needed for customer support, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention and legal obligations. You can use the contact details below to ask about information held by Hod Publishing Ltd.

Security

Esoteric Input stores its preferences in the app’s private storage, protected by Android’s application sandbox. The app does not transmit those preferences or typed text over a network.

Children’s privacy

Esoteric Input is not designed to collect personal information from children or adults, and Hod Publishing Ltd. does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone through the app.

Your choices

You can disable Esoteric Input at any time in Android’s keyboard settings. You can also clear its locally stored preferences or uninstall it through Android’s app settings.

Changes to this policy

Hod Publishing Ltd. may update this Privacy Policy if Esoteric Input’s features or data practices change. The revised policy will be published on this page with a new effective date. If a future version begins collecting personal data, the app and this policy will be updated with the disclosures and choices required by applicable law and Google Play policy.
