Handfont: Handwriting to Font — Privacy Policy
This policy covers Handfont: Handwriting to Font, 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
Handfont: handwriting, fonts, and creative tools
Handfont does not request camera, microphone, contacts, location, or broad storage permissions. You add handwriting by writing on the screen, by scanning pages with Google's document scanner, or by choosing images in Android's photo picker. The scanner runs in Google Play services, which operates the camera and returns only the scanned pages you confirm; Google Play services may need to download the scanner module first. Handfont receives only the pages and photos you select.
Stroke smoothing, page straightening and grid detection, outline extraction, TrueType (.ttf) font generation, handwriting pages, signatures, and image and PDF rendering are processed on your device. Handfont keeps font projects in App-private storage, including your strokes, original imported pages and photos, derived character images, correction and review records, font settings, and creative drafts with private copies of photos you add. This content can include personal information you choose to write or photograph, such as your name or signature. Handfont does not upload it to EZTools servers and does not use an EZTools account or cloud-sync service.
Content leaves the App only when you choose to save or share a PNG, JPG, PDF, or .ttf file, print a template, or export a backup. Printing passes the template to the print service you choose, which handles it under its own policy. A single-project or library backup contains the full editable projects, including original handwriting and imported images with any metadata those files contained, and Handfont does not encrypt it. Keep backups that contain your signature or other personal handwriting in a place you trust.
The production Handfont App enables Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics by default. Analytics receives automatically generated app-use and session events and our fixed events for completed project creation, font generation, file saving, backup restoration, and paper import, plus membership screen views and purchase stages. Membership events use fixed entry, plan, stage, and failure-category values, without purchase tokens or user content. Firebase may receive app and operating-system versions, device details, language, approximate region derived from connection information, app-instance or installation identifiers, and the Android Advertising ID (AAID) where available. The configured Analytics defaults allow personalized-ad signals, subject to applicable consent choices and device/account settings; these defaults are not evidence that you clicked a consent button. Crashlytics receives crash and application-not-responding diagnostics, including stack traces, app/device details, identifiers, and session information. Google receives connection information such as IP address when these services communicate. We use these services to understand usage and fix reliability problems. We do not intentionally attach handwriting, scanned pages, photos, text you type, project or file names, document URIs, purchase tokens, or saved clipboard content to our custom events or crash reports; exception details may nevertheless contain runtime diagnostic information. The separate local test package does not include this production Firebase client. When an eligible ad request is made, Google's advertising services may access the advertising ID where available and permitted by your device settings.
The optional online font library contacts the Google Fonts provider in Google Play services only after you choose a font. The request names the font family; Google receives normal connection information, such as your IP address, when Google Play services downloads it. Your text and handwriting are not sent. The five included reference fonts work offline, and font favorites are stored on your device.
Text styling tools process text on your device. Text you share to Handfont, or select in another app and open with Handfont, is used to show styled versions and is returned to that app only if you choose to replace the selected text. If you enable the optional Handfont keyboard, Android displays its standard warning that a keyboard may be able to collect what you type. The Handfont keyboard does not save, log, or send the keys you type, does not connect to the network, and types ordinary, unstyled text in password and other secure fields. It reads the clipboard only when you tap Save clipboard, keeps up to 10 saved items on your device, and lets you clear them.
After you have successfully saved files several times, Handfont may ask Google Play to show a rating prompt; Google Play decides whether to show it and handles any rating you submit. Handfont opts out of Android's automatic cloud backup, although a device-to-device transfer on some Android versions can still copy App data to a new device. Read the Handfont Terms of Use.
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.
In the production Handfont configuration, eligible free users may see one Google AdMob banner within the font library after the App's Google User Messaging Platform check permits ad requests and a successful Google Play purchase query confirms that no membership is active. The App may preload configured interstitial and App Open ads, but has no display scene for either format or for MREC. Active membership removes eligible in-app ads; the membership and purchase screens do not show ads. If the consent flow requires it, Settings provides an entry to reopen advertising privacy options. The separate development test package uses Google's sample ad units. Handfont offers a monthly and a yearly auto-renewing subscription and a one-time lifetime product when Google Play returns them as available. The Play purchase screen presents the current price and applicable offer terms before you confirm. The App uses purchase information to grant, restore, or end membership access; a pending purchase does not grant membership. Creating and previewing fonts and basic PNG image export remain available without purchase.
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 Handfont: Handwriting to Font 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 Handfont, font projects, original handwriting and imported images, creative drafts and photo copies, favorites, saved keyboard clipboard items, and settings remain on your device until you delete them in the App, clear App storage, or uninstall the App. Deleting a font project removes it and its original handwriting from the App. Exported images, PDFs, font files, printed pages, and backups remain wherever you saved, shared, or printed them and must be deleted there.
Handfont's Firebase usage and crash data is retained according to the settings and policies of the associated Google Analytics and Firebase services. Clearing local App data or uninstalling does not necessarily delete information already sent to Google. Contact us using the address below for privacy requests. See Firebase Privacy and Security for provider processing.
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 Handfont: Handwriting to Font 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.
