EZStatus: Status Saver — Video — Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 2, 2026 · Android

This policy covers EZStatus: Status Saver — Video, published by the independent EZTools developer. It describes this product’s features and data practices. Privacy and deletion requests: eztoolsupport@icloud.com.

How this app handles data

EZStatus: status media, local tools, and notifications

EZStatus accesses status media through folders you explicitly select in Android's system folder picker (Storage Access Framework). It retains the folder authorization so you can browse the folder again and, if you separately enable automatic saving, check it in the background. It reads only accessible media in the selected sources; it does not gain unrestricted access to your device storage, contacts, private chat databases, or WhatsApp account. It cannot retrieve statuses that are not available in the selected folder. The release version covered here does not capture or recover messages.

Browsing, thumbnails, manual saving, duplicate checks, video splitting, and sticker-image import and export are processed on your device. EZStatus keeps local records such as folder and file references, file names, media types, sizes, modification and save times, content hashes for duplicate detection, favorites, copy results, settings, and consent choices. Imported sticker images are stored in the App's private library; saved status media and exported videos or sticker images are written to your device's media storage. EZStatus does not upload these media files or local records to EZTools servers. The production configuration includes Google advertising services; ad requests are handled separately from local media processing and are described in the advertising and purchases section below. EZStatus does not use cloud media processing. Analytics and crash diagnostics are described below; local media processing does not mean that the whole App never communicates online.

When you use text recognition or subject cutout, Google ML Kit processes the selected image and produces text or a cutout on your device; the input image, recognized text, and results are not sent to Google for this processing. Text recognition uses a model bundled with the App. Subject cutout requires Google Play services to download its model when you choose that feature, and the download requires a network connection. ML Kit may connect to Google for model updates and compatibility, and may send technical usage and performance metrics. See Google ML Kit terms and privacy.

Automatic saving is optional. You must select the source folders, review the in-app explanation, allow the required App notifications, and explicitly start the feature. This release uses periodic background checks scheduled by Android, rather than continuous real-time monitoring; checks can be delayed by the system and may miss media that disappears between checks. You can pause or stop automatic saving in the App and disconnect a source to revoke its retained folder access. If required notifications are disabled, automatic saving stops until the required setup and user action are completed again.

Notification permission lets EZStatus display its own automatic-saving status and save summaries. It does not authorize reading notifications from other apps. These notifications do not display media thumbnails, source file names, or inferred contacts, and the App provides a lock-screen visibility setting. Notification access for message history and automatic replies is not requested or used by this release.

When you choose Share or Repost, Android passes the selected media to the app you choose; that app may upload or further share it under its own privacy policy. Copying a caption places the selected text on the system clipboard. Direct-chat and linked-device browser handoffs are disabled in this release. EZStatus is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta. Save and share only content that you own or have permission to use. Android folder access and an in-app confirmation do not grant rights from a content creator or from WhatsApp. Read the EZStatus Terms of Use. Opening policy links uses your browser, whose network and privacy settings apply.

EZStatus: usage analytics and crash reports

In the production App, Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics are separate services and are enabled by default when no previous choice has been saved. Previously saved choices to turn either service off remain effective. Analytics also respects recorded choices for its relevant purposes and an existing regional restriction; an unknown or failed consent refresh is not treated as a user refusal. Crash diagnostics are managed independently of Analytics. The current Settings page provides the privacy policy, terms, any required UMP advertising privacy options, and email feedback; it does not provide separate Analytics or Crashlytics switches. Production Firebase is not included in the separate Debug test package.

Saved choices and applicable purpose choices continue to be respected. These choices do not retroactively delete data already sent to Google. Information about provider processing is available in Firebase Privacy and Security and Google's Privacy Policy. See the retention and deletion section below for retention and the privacy requests section below to request help with access or deletion. Local cleanup does not delete previously uploaded data.

Advertising and purchases

When advertising is enabled and a request is allowed, Google advertising services and the advertising partners identified for this app may process IP address, approximate location, app and device information, advertising or app-scoped identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostics. These data support ad delivery, measurement, permitted personalization, and fraud prevention. Use the app’s available advertising privacy choices and Android advertising-ID controls. An ad-free purchase removes the ads included in the offer; it does not automatically turn off other online services.

Where purchases or subscriptions are available, Google Play processes the payment. The App receives product and purchase information, such as the purchase token, purchase state, and entitlement status, to acknowledge purchases and provide or restore access. We do not receive your full payment-card details. Google Play manages payment methods, subscriptions, and its transaction records.

EZStatus uses Google AdMob advertising through the EZTools ads SDK and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP). The configured mediation partners include Meta Audience Network, InMobi, Liftoff Monetize (Vungle), and Pangle. The App may request configured ads only when UMP's advertising-request check and the App's placement, privacy, and entitlement rules allow it, respecting actual user choices and ad-free VIP entitlement; no particular ad is guaranteed to be available or shown. Ad providers may process connection, device and App information, advertising identifiers where available, ad interactions, and diagnostics to deliver, measure, and protect advertising, as described above. EZStatus offers optional premium features through monthly and yearly subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase; options are presented only when Google Play returns them as available, with price and applicable billing terms shown by Google Play before purchase. Google Play processes payment, while EZStatus uses purchase and entitlement status to provide or restore access. A pending purchase does not grant the paid entitlement.

Support, purposes and sharing

If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you send. The App may prefill information such as its version, device model, operating-system version, language, or a rating you selected. You can review the message before sending it.

We use the data described for EZStatus: Status Saver — Video to provide its features, respond to support requests, maintain the services and entitlements actually used by this app, and meet applicable legal obligations. Information is shared with the providers involved in those features, destinations you choose, and where required by applicable law or valid legal process. We do not sell your personal information.

The relevant providers describe their processing here:

Retention and deletion

Local history and settings are kept on your device, subject to any history limits, cleanup rules, or Trash-expiry rules provided by the App. You can also delete records, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App. Where Trash is available, moving an item there is not permanent deletion. Saved gallery images, exported files, shared copies, and backups can remain outside the App and must be removed separately from their locations; deleting a history record does not delete those copies. Your device, gallery, or chosen storage service may also back up or synchronize saved files according to your settings and that service's policy.

For EZStatus, local settings, source references, history, and imported sticker images remain until you remove them using the available controls, clear App storage, or uninstall; temporary records may also be removed during routine cleanup. Storage cleaner offers separate actions for temporary cache, status history, and the Saved index. Clearing cache does not delete the private sticker library or saved gallery media, and clearing history or the Saved index does not delete the corresponding gallery files. Imported stickers can be deleted from the library. Disconnecting a folder ends its retained access but does not erase the original folder or exported copies. Delete those copies separately in your gallery, file manager, chosen sharing app, or backup service. EZStatus's Android backup rules exclude its databases, shared preferences, and private sticker library from system cloud backup and, where supported by the rules, device transfer. This does not prevent your gallery or storage provider from backing up exported media under your settings.

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics data already transmitted are retained under the relevant service settings and policies. Changing a saved choice or clearing local files does not remove prior uploads. Contact us for help identifying the available provider or deletion controls.

Support correspondence is retained as needed to answer the request, resolve related issues and meet applicable legal obligations. Where this app uses online providers, information already sent to them follows the relevant service’s retention settings and policies. We do not promise a fixed deletion deadline for provider-held information. Contact us to request deletion or help identifying the available controls. Deleting app data does not cancel a store subscription.

Security and international processing

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the data, including App-private storage for internal records and HTTPS/TLS for built-in cloud requests. Exported files and content you share are controlled by their destination and may not be encrypted. No storage or transmission method provides an absolute security guarantee.

Online services used by this app may process information in countries other than your own. The relevant providers describe their international processing arrangements in their privacy and data-processing terms.

Your choices and privacy requests

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to contact your local data-protection authority.

To make a request, email eztoolsupport@icloud.com and identify the App and the information or operation concerned. We may need limited additional information to identify the relevant data and verify the request. We cannot directly access or erase files that exist only on your device or copies held by a service you selected; we can explain how to manage them.

To request help with this product, identify EZStatus: Status Saver — Video and the data concerned. Do not send passwords, payment credentials or private records that are not needed for the request. Local-only content and copies in a sharing or storage service you chose must be managed there.

Children’s privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate deletion steps.

Changes and contact

We may update this product policy as the app’s data practices change, with a revised effective date and any additional notice or consent request required for a material change. For privacy questions or deletion requests, contact the EZTools website’s privacy and support address: eztoolsupport@icloud.com.
