Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 July 2026
IRL Camera Tools (“the app”) is published by Dhondooo. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and what your choices are.
The short version
- There is no account. We never ask for your name, email, phone number or payment details.
- The app makes no network requests at all. Nothing you scan, photograph, measure or record leaves your phone.
- No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no location.
- Your scan history and settings are stored only on your device, and you can delete them at any time.
What we collect
Nothing. We operate no server and receive no data from the app. Everything the app does happens on your device, and there is nowhere for us to collect anything to.
The rest of this page explains what the app does on your phone with the permissions it asks for, because that is what most people actually want to know.
What stays on your device
Camera
The QR Scanner, Barcode Scanner, Text Scanner, Colour Picker, Document Scanner, Magnifier, Mirror, Flashlight and Ruler all show a live camera preview. Frames are processed on your device as they arrive and are not recorded.
The Colour Picker and Document Scanner capture a still photo when you tap. It is written to the app’s own private storage on your device so it can be displayed, cropped and sampled. It is never uploaded, and it is removed when you clear the app’s storage or uninstall it. The app does not request access to your photo library and cannot see your existing photos.
Text recognition
The Text Scanner reads text using Google’s ML Kit text recognition model, which is bundled inside the app and runs entirely offline. No image and no recognised text is sent to Google or to us.
Microphone
The Sound Meter is the only feature that uses the microphone, and only while you have it running. It reads the input level to display a decibel figure.
To expose that level, the operating system’s audio API writes a temporary recording file into the app’s private storage while a measurement is in progress. It is never uploaded, never played back, and is not used for anything other than metering. Recording stops when you tap Stop or leave the screen; the file is removed when you clear the app’s storage or uninstall it. No other tool uses the microphone.
Motion sensors
The Level, Compass, Protractor and Pitch & Roll tools read the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer in real time. Those readings drive the on-screen display and are not stored.
Scan history and settings
Results you save, plus your preferences and theme choice, are stored in the app’s private storage on your device. They are not backed up to us and not synced anywhere by us.
You can delete them by clearing history in the app, clearing the app’s data in your device settings, or uninstalling the app.
Clipboard
Tapping Copy writes that value to your clipboard. The app never reads your clipboard.
What we do not collect
The app does not collect or transmit your location, contacts, photo library, advertising identifier, device identifiers, browsing history, or any usage analytics. It contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDK, and no crash reporting.
About the permissions you may see
- Camera — required by the nine camera tools listed above.
- Microphone — required by the Sound Meter only.
- Motion & orientation — required by the four sensor tools.
- Vibration — haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings.
- Internet (Android) — this appears in the app’s manifest because the framework the app is built with declares it. The app itself makes no network requests.
You can refuse or later revoke any of these in your device settings. Tools that need a permission you have declined will explain what they need rather than silently failing, and the rest of the app keeps working.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. Since it collects nothing, it collects nothing from them either.
Service providers
No service provider receives data from the app. For completeness: Apple and Google distribute the app and provide their own download statistics to us in aggregate, which we cannot connect to any individual; Cloudflare serves this page.
Your rights
Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to export, correct or delete on request. Everything the app stores is on your device and under your control: clear the app’s data or uninstall it and it is gone. If you would like confirmation of that in writing, email us.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will update the date above and, where appropriate, tell you in the app. If the app ever starts collecting anything, this page will say so before that version ships.
