com.nnastudio.keyboard · NNA StudioNNA Studio ("we", "us") built Keyboard Effects (the "app") as a free application. The app is a keyboard (an Android input method) with themes, fonts, key sounds and effects. This page explains what information the app uses, why, and what choices you have. By using the app you agree to the practices described here.
When you enable any third-party keyboard, Android shows a standard warning that the keyboard "may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers". Android shows this for every keyboard. Here is what Keyboard Effects actually does:
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO) | For voice typing, used only after you tap the microphone button on the keyboard, and only until it stops listening. Speech is converted to text by the speech recognition service built into your device (usually Google), which may send the audio to its provider under that provider's own privacy policy. The app itself does not record, keep or send audio. You can decline this permission and keep using the keyboard. |
| Internet and network state | Used only by the Google services described in sections 4 and 5 (usage statistics, crash reports and ads). Typing works without a network connection. |
Advertising ID (AD_ID) | Lets Google AdMob and Google Analytics for Firebase read the resettable advertising identifier Android provides, for showing and measuring the ads (section 5) and for analytics. You can reset or delete it in Android under Settings → Privacy → Ads. |
The app does not request access to your contacts, location, call log, SMS, camera, or files. When you choose a photo as a keyboard background, you pick it with the Android system photo picker and the app receives only that one image; no storage permission is needed.
The following are saved only in the app's private storage on your device, and never leave it:
You can delete these from inside the app (for example the delete option on the Personal screen and in the clipboard panel). Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Settings → Apps → Keyboard Effects → Storage, deletes all of them. We have no copy.
The app includes the following Google services. They may collect information such as an app-instance identifier, the advertising ID, IP address, device model, operating system version, app version, language, approximate location derived from the IP address, and which screens of the app are opened.
How Google uses this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
The app shows two kinds of ads from Google AdMob, only inside the app:
There are no banner ads, no ads when the app opens or closes, and no ads on the keyboard while you type.
To select and measure the ad, Google receives your device's advertising ID together with technical information such as device model, operating system version, app version, IP address and approximate location derived from it, and whether the ad was shown or tapped. Nothing you type is ever sent to Google AdMob or to any advertiser.
How Google uses this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
When you contact us with the Feedback option in Settings, your message is sent by email using your own email app, so we receive the address you send it from and whatever you write. We use it only to reply to you.
International transfers. Google processes information on servers in several countries, including the United States, which may have different data protection laws from the country where you live. Where required, Google relies on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We do not transfer your information ourselves, because we do not operate a server.
Legal basis (EEA/UK users). We rely on your consent for ads that use your advertising ID (you can withdraw it at any time under Settings → Ad privacy options), and on our legitimate interest in keeping the app working and improving it for crash reports and usage statistics.
We use the third parties listed above to provide, analyze and improve the app. They may access the information described in section 4 only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to use it for other purposes.
Data created by the app is protected by Android's per-app sandbox. Information collected by Google is sent over encrypted connections and handled under their security practices. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Ads and this policy may link to third-party sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies.
The app is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information through the app, please contact us and we will take the necessary action.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any change will be posted on this page with an updated effective date and included in a later version of the app.
If you have any questions or suggestions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at newtrust.contact@gmail.com, or use the Feedback option in the app's Settings.
