App name: Emoji Dot: Copy Paste Text Art (Indonesian name: Emoji Titik: Gambar Teks Lucu) (com.htd.emojidot)
This privacy policy explains how we handle user information in our app “Emoji Dot”. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. The app lets you browse, search, copy and share dot art (text pictures made of Unicode braille characters), turn your own photos into dot art, and draw your own dot art. The full collection is stored inside the app, so browsing, searching and copying work offline.
We DO NOT collect, store, or transmit your search terms, the dot art you copy, your favorites, your drawings, or the photos you choose. Searching happens 100% locally on your device. The app has no accounts and does not collect personal data such as names, contacts, or location.
The only things the app saves on your device are your favorites and the dot art you save to “My art”, your current drawing (so it is not lost when you close the app), a few small settings, and a local copy of the dot art collection that ships with the app.
The “Copy” buttons only place text on your device's clipboard. The “Share image” button creates a temporary PNG picture of the dot art in the app's private cache and opens Android's share sheet; you choose where it goes.
The “Photo to dot art” tool uses Android's system photo picker, so the app only receives the single photo you select and does not need permission to read your photo library. The photo is converted into dot art entirely on your device. Your photo is never uploaded, stored on our server, or shared with anyone. The app does not keep a copy of the photo after it is closed.
From time to time (at most about twice a day, only while the app is open) the app connects to our own server at dot.teuku.my.id to download newly added dot art and to remove items that were deleted. These requests only download the public dot art list; the app does not send your favorites, drawings, photos, search terms, or any account or device identifier. Like any web server, the server may briefly receive standard technical information such as your IP address and the time of the request, which is used only to deliver the data and protect the server.
Our app uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob requires an internet connection. Google may collect and use certain data to serve and measure ads, such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and ad interaction data. Whether ads are personalised depends on your device settings. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation in your Android settings (Settings > Google > Ads).
Please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
This app is designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Dot art flagged as adult content is never included in the app. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
Since we do not collect or transmit your search terms, favorites, drawings, photos or any other personal data, there is no personal data of yours stored on our servers that could be breached. Ad-related data is handled by Google according to its policies.
This app only requires access to the Internet (INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) to load Google AdMob ads and to download new dot art. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may also declare advertising-related permissions (for example AD_ID). Choosing a photo uses the system photo picker and needs no storage permission. Browsing, searching, copying, drawing and favorites do not require any permissions.
The dot art collection was gathered from publicly available sources on the internet and tagged and checked automatically. All rights to each dot art belong to its original creator; the app does not claim ownership. Every item is checked before it appears in the app and adult content is filtered out, but automatic checks can miss things. If you created a dot art in this app and want it removed, or you find something wrong or offensive, please email us with a description or screenshot and we will review and remove it.
Emoji Dot is an independent app and is not affiliated with WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, or Meta. These names are only used to describe where the copied text can be pasted.
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this document. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
