Delete your data

HMK TextOnPhoto — an app by HMK DEV

This page explains what the app holds, how to have it deleted, and how long anything that is kept is kept for.

How to request deletion

Email hmkdevjp@hotmail.com with HMK TextOnPhoto – delete my data in the subject line. I will reply, tell you exactly what is held, and delete anything that can be identified as yours.

Most of what the app holds you can clear yourself, immediately, without waiting for a reply:

  1. Uninstall the app. Your pictures, your saved drafts and any fonts you added are stored on your phone and nowhere else. Uninstalling deletes all of them.
  2. Turn notifications off. Open the app, go to Settings and switch Notifications off — or turn them off for the app in your phone's own settings. Your notification registration is withdrawn straight away. Uninstalling the app does the same thing.
  3. Reset or delete your advertising ID. On your phone, go to Settings › Privacy › Ads (the exact wording varies by phone). Resetting the ID unlinks the advertising records from your device; deleting it stops them being created at all.

What is deleted, what is kept

DataWhere it is heldDeleted
Your photos, edited pictures, saved drafts, fonts you added On your phone only. Never uploaded. Immediately, when you uninstall the app
Notification registration (a push token, plus device model, OS version, language and country) OneSignal Immediately, when you turn notifications off or uninstall
Crash reports (stack traces, device model, app state at the moment of the crash) Google Firebase Crashlytics Automatically after 90 days
Advertising and analytics records (advertising ID, taps and screen views, app performance) Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase, Meta Audience Network Held by those companies under their own retention policies. Resetting your advertising ID unlinks them from your device.

There is no account. The app has no sign-in, asks for no name, email or phone number, and attaches none to anything it sends. That is deliberate — but it also means the records listed above cannot be traced back to a particular person, including by me. The steps above are the way to clear them, and the advertising ID controls in your phone's settings are the only control that exists over the last row.
