StepMath privacy policy
StepMath gives step-by-step help for arithmetic, percentages and linear equations. This policy describes the Android app published by SumClarTech.
Summary
StepMath has no user account and does not use a SumClarTech server to store problems. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to sumclartech@gmail.com.
Data on your device
Equation solving runs on your device. StepMath saves problem history and favorites in its own app storage, together with display settings and any unfinished work.
Image recognition and scanning
StepMath uses Google ML Kit for image text recognition. Google states that ML Kit processes input images and text on the device and does not send those inputs or recognition results to its servers. Scanner components may be downloaded through Google Play services.
ML Kit can contact Google for component updates and send service metrics such as device and app information, installation identifiers, operation timing, image-format or input-size information, and error codes. These metrics support diagnostics, usage analysis and operation of the service; they are separate from the content of your problems or images. See ML Kit data disclosures.
Advertising and consent
StepMath is supported by Google advertising. When advertising is enabled and a request is permitted, Google's advertising SDK can process an IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device or advertising identifiers, interactions with the app and advertisements, and diagnostic information. Google uses this information for advertising, measurement, service analytics and fraud prevention. See Google's advertising data disclosures and Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not send your problems to an advertising request. SumClarTech does not add a separate analytics account, cloud document service or user-content backend to this app.
Your choices
- Google's consent tools handle advertising privacy choices when required. An advertising-privacy control is available in Settings when the consent service requires it.
- You can use Android's advertising-ID and app-permission controls.
- StepMath remains usable when advertisements cannot load.
Retention and deletion
Saved records remain in the app's local storage until you remove them or clear the app's storage. Android may clear cached files, and clearing the app's storage removes its private data. Google controls retention of the advertising, consent and recognition-service data it processes; use Google's privacy information and your device settings to review the available controls.
Sharing and exports
Copying, exporting or sharing is initiated by you. An export creates a file at the location you choose, and sharing gives the selected receiving app access to that content. A destination selected through Android may be a cloud storage provider. That provider or receiving app handles the shared copy under its own policies. The app cannot remove copies after another app or person has received them.
Support messages
If you contact our support email, we receive the email address and information you choose to send. We use it to respond to your request and follow up on the issue. Avoid sending private documents unless they are necessary to explain a problem. Contact us to request deletion of messages you have supplied.
Security
Internal records use Android's app-private storage. Google documents encrypted network transport for its advertising and ML Kit service data. The app does not request your passwords or payment information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when app features, service providers or data practices change. The date above identifies the latest version.
