Privacy Policy

Effective 29 October 2026

This policy explains how the Android app Originly: AI Detector & Plagiarism Check ("Originly", "the app") handles your information. Originly is published on Google Play by Miloni Patel ("we", "us"). Questions: infowortica@gmail.com.

In short

You don't need an account, name, email or phone number. The app creates an anonymous ID for your install.
Text you check is sent to our server and our checking provider only to run the check. Our server deletes the text itself when the check finishes; the result stays in your history until you delete it.
We collect device, usage and crash information to run, measure and fix the app. We never sell your data.
Free users see ads from Google AdMob. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first.
You can delete all your data at any time in Settings → Delete all my data.

1. What we collect and why

Information	What exactly	Why
Text you check	Text you type, paste, share into the app, scan with the camera or import from a file.	To run the grammar, AI-detection or plagiarism check you asked for.
Check results	Scores, matched sources and the matched passages, word counts, dates.	To show your report and your history.
Anonymous IDs	A random installation ID, an account ID, and a push-notification token.	To keep your free words, history and subscription tied to your install, and to tell you when a long check is ready.
Device and app information	Phone make and model, Android version, app version, screen size, memory, language, time zone, network type (Wi-Fi or mobile), mobile carrier name.	To make the app work well on your phone, understand which devices to support and fix problems.
Approximate location	Your country, from your IP address (via our network provider), or from your mobile network or SIM. Your IP address is used briefly for security; we store only a shortened network prefix to limit abuse.	To set the free daily allowance and rewards for your region, and to prevent fraud.
Install source	Information from Google Play about how you found the app (for example a campaign link), and the app store that installed it.	To understand which links and campaigns bring people to the app.
Usage	Which screens and features you use, checks started and finished, session length, ads shown and their reported value.	To improve the app, balance free use and ads, and measure performance.
Crash and error reports	Error details and the app's state when it happened (memory, storage, battery level, network) and the last few actions in the app.	To find and fix crashes and bugs.
Purchases	Whether you have a subscription, which plan, and when it renews or ends. Payment details are handled by Google Play; we never see them.	To give subscribers Pro features.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or files other than the ones you choose to check. Photos you scan are turned into text on your phone; the images are not uploaded.

2. Text you check

The text is sent over an encrypted connection to our server and to Quetext, the service that performs the plagiarism, AI-detection and grammar checks, which processes it under its own terms.
Our server deletes the submitted text as soon as a plagiarism or AI check finishes (or fails). Grammar checks are not stored.
The result is kept with your history until you delete it. To avoid checking the same text twice, a result may also be reused for up to 30 days for an identical text; it is not linked to you after you delete your data.
The full text of your past checks is kept only on your phone, so the app can show it in your reports.
Please don't check text containing sensitive personal information about yourself or others.

3. Ads

Free users see ads from Google AdMob: a banner, native ads marked "Ad", and, only if you choose, a rewarded video that gives you extra words. AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device information and how you interact with ads, to show and measure ads and prevent fraud. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent using Google's consent tool before ads use your data. You can change your choice in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
Subscribers do not see ads.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for others' own marketing. We use these service providers, who process data for us:

Quetext: runs the checks on text you submit.
Google: AdMob (ads), Firebase Cloud Messaging (notifications), Google Play (installs, billing, install source, in-app reviews and updates), and on-device text recognition (ML Kit).
RevenueCat: manages subscription status with Google Play.
Hostinger (server hosting) and Cloudflare (secure network delivery).

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our users or services, or as part of a business transfer, in which case this policy continues to apply.

5. How long we keep data

Your account, history and word balance: until you delete them, or automatically after 2 years without using the app (unless you have an active subscription).
Usage events: 13 months. Crash and error reports: 6 months.
Submitted text: until the check finishes, as described above.
Purchase records: as long as the law requires for accounting.

6. Your choices and rights

Delete everything: Settings → Delete all my data deletes your account and everything linked to it from our servers and your phone. See how to delete your data.
Delete history only: Settings → Delete my checks.
Notifications: turn them off any time in Android settings.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act or US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your data, and to object to or restrict its use. Email us and we will reply within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

We process data to provide the service you ask for, for our legitimate interests (security, fixing and improving the app, measuring it), with your consent where required (for example personalized ads in the EEA/UK), and to meet legal obligations.

7. Children

Originly is intended for adults and is not directed at children. It must not be used by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, email us and we will delete the data.

8. Security and transfers

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and access to our servers is restricted. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information. Our service providers may process data in countries other than yours, including India and the United States, with appropriate safeguards.

9. Changes

We will update this page when our practices change and change the date at the top. Please check it from time to time.
