Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 24, 2026
Saltserv (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our applications and services.
Overview
We believe in transparency and user control. Our apps are designed with privacy as a core principle:
- Minimal Data Collection: We only collect data that is essential for app functionality
- No Data Sales: We never sell your personal information to third parties
- Local Processing: Most data processing happens on your device
- User Control: You have full control over your data
Data Collection
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Personal identification information (name, email, address) unless you contact us directly
- Location data
- Contacts or address book information
- Photos, videos, or media files
- Health or fitness data
- Financial information
- Browsing history
Data We May Collect
App Analytics (Optional) Some of our apps may include anonymized analytics to help us understand how features are used and improve the user experience. This data:
- Is fully anonymized and cannot identify you personally
- Includes general usage patterns (e.g., which features are used most)
- Does not include any personal content or files you work with
- Can be disabled in app settings where applicable
Crash Reports If an app crashes, we may receive anonymized crash logs through Apple’s crash reporting system. These logs help us identify and fix bugs but do not contain personal information.
Support Communications When you contact us for support, we collect the information you provide (such as your email address and message content) to respond to your inquiry.
App-Specific Privacy Information
ADB Dock
ADB Dock is a macOS utility for Android development. Here’s how it handles your data:
- Data Collected: None. ADB Dock does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.
- Network Access: ADB Dock may access the network only for checking for updates (if enabled). No personal data is transmitted.
- Local Data: All app preferences and settings are stored locally on your Mac.
- Android Device Data: ADB Dock communicates with connected Android devices only through local USB/Wi-Fi connections. No device data is sent to external servers.
Booksum
Booksum lets you scan pages from physical books and turn them into summaries and notes using an on-device AI model. Here’s how it handles your data:
- Local Storage: All your books, snippets, notes, and summaries are stored locally on your device. We never upload this content to our servers.
- On-Device AI: Summaries are generated by an AI model that runs entirely on your device. The pages you scan and the text you capture are never sent to a server for processing.
- No Account: Booksum does not require sign-up, login, or any personal account.
- OCR: Text recognition (OCR) runs on your device; captured images are not uploaded.
- Advertising (free tier): The free version of Booksum displays ads through Google AdMob. To serve ads, AdMob may access a device advertising identifier. This is used for advertising only, not to track you across apps and websites, and ads are removed entirely when you purchase Booksum Premium. See Google’s policies.
- In-App Purchases: Premium is sold through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Payments are handled by Apple; we do not receive or store your payment details.
Third-Party Services
Our apps may integrate with third-party services. Each service has its own privacy policy:
- Apple App Store (in-app purchases): Apple Privacy Policy
- Google AdMob (advertising in apps with a free tier, such as Booksum): Google Privacy Policy
Apart from Google AdMob (used to show ads in the free tier of some apps), we do not integrate with advertising networks or data brokers.
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:
- All network communications use HTTPS encryption
- Local data is stored using platform-standard secure storage methods
- We do not store any user data on external servers
Children’s Privacy
Our apps are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: Request information about any data we may have collected
- Deletion: Request deletion of any data associated with you
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
- Opt-out: Disable optional analytics in app settings
To exercise these rights, contact us at oday@saltserv.com.
Data Retention
- Support Communications: We retain support emails for up to 2 years to provide ongoing assistance
- Analytics Data: Anonymized analytics data may be retained for up to 1 year
- Crash Reports: Retained for up to 90 days
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by:
- Updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy
- Posting a notice in our apps (for major changes)
We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
