Tasker Tools

1 Introduction

Welcome to Tasker Tools (“we”, “our”, or “us”), developed and published by Winterfield Intelligence. This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you download, install, and use the mobile application Tasker Tools (Package ID: com.winterfieldintelligence.taskertools).

Tasker Tools is an automation app that runs entirely on your phone: your automations, run history, templates, and settings live in app-private on-device storage. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no Winterfield Intelligence servers receiving your data — through full compliance with this Privacy Policy and Google Play Developer Program Policies, including the User Data policy.

2 No User Account & No Login Required

Tasker Tools does not require any user registration, login, or account creation.

• You can use every feature immediately upon installation without providing any personal information.
• We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or passwords.
• We do not create or maintain online user accounts for this application.

3 Information Stored on Your Device

A. Automations you create. Names, triggers (e.g. a Bluetooth device name, Wi-Fi SSID, or place coordinates you type), conditions, and action steps are kept in an app-private on-device database so your routines keep working offline.

B. Execution history. Run results, step-by-step logs, and diagnostics you enable are stored locally so the Activity screen can explain what ran, what failed, and why.

C. Preferences & templates. Theme, Simple/Advanced mode, custom templates, and app settings live in on-device preferences storage.

D. Backups you explicitly export. Only when you tap Export/Share is a .tasktools backup file written — to a location you choose or the share target you pick. We never create, upload, or keep copies of it.

E. Files your automations create. File steps are sandboxed to the app's own private folder, which no other app can read.

4 Device Permissions

The app requests permissions progressively — only when a trigger or action you added needs them, never all at once at install. Denying a permission simply skips the steps that need it, with a plain-language reason shown in the app.

• Location (approximate/precise, background for geofences) — place arrival/departure triggers and reading Wi-Fi names on Android 10+.
• Bluetooth / Nearby devices — matching Bluetooth device names like “My Car”.
• Notifications (post) — your reminder steps and failure explanations.
• Notification-listener access — only if you enable “on a notification” triggers; the app reads which app posted, to match triggers you defined.
• Usage-stats access — only if you enable “when I open an app” triggers; used solely to detect the foreground app for your trigger.
• Calendar read — only for “before a meeting” triggers.
• Phone state — only for incoming/ended call triggers (the calling number is used only to display and match your trigger).
• No SMS access — the app cannot read or send text messages. Sharing text uses the Android share sheet you choose, and calls always open the dialer for you to confirm.
• Camera — flashlight steps and foreground photo steps only.
• Do-Not-Disturb access & system-settings write — silent-mode and brightness steps you add.
• Exact alarms — precise time triggers on Android 12+.
• Battery-optimisation exemption (on request) — reliable background execution.

The app does not request contacts, microphone recording, or body-sensor access. Voice input uses Android's system speech recognizer, which runs under that system app's own policy.

5 Accessibility: Not Used

Tasker Tools does not operate an AccessibilityService and does not use the Accessibility API in any way.

• Detecting which app is open (“open app” triggers) uses Android's Usage Stats access instead — and only when you enable such a trigger.
• No keystrokes, screen content, passwords, or personal data are ever read, collected, or transmitted.

6 On-Device AI Builder

The “Describe your automation” builder parses your words with rules that run entirely on your phone. Your descriptions are never sent to any server, AI provider, or third party.

7 Network Use You Configure

The app has no background network activity of its own. Network is used only when you add a step that needs it — a webhook URL you type, or opening a link — in which case that request goes directly to the address you specified, under that service's policy.

8 Data Sharing, Selling & Third-Party Access

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any user data with third parties.

Tasker Tools contains no behavioral tracking, advertising identifiers, analytics scripts, crash-reporting SDKs, or social SDKs that profile activity across apps or websites. We do not track your IP address or device identifiers.

9 Children's Privacy (COPPA & Google Play Families Policy)

Tasker Tools is a general-audience utility.

• We comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play Families Policies.
• We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where applicable law requires).
• Because the app has no accounts, personal-data forms, analytics, or ads, no children's personal data is ever obtained.

10 Data Retention & User Control / Deletion

Because everything is stored locally on your device, you hold full control at all times:

• Delete automations & history: anytime inside the app (per-automation Delete, Activity Clear, template Delete).
• Log retention: choose 7 / 30 / 90 days in Settings — older runs are pruned automatically.
• Clear App Data: Android Settings > Apps > Tasker Tools > Storage > Clear Data.
• Uninstall: uninstalling Tasker Tools permanently removes all locally stored data from your device.
• Exported backups: .tasktools files you saved or shared remain wherever you put them until you delete them yourself.

There is no server-side copy to delete, because none exists.

11 Security

Automations, logs, and files live in app-private storage and the app sandbox, which no other app can read. By keeping everything on-device with no login servers, the attack surface is minimal.

No method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so please also protect your device with a screen lock and keep Android up to date.

12 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or app features. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Effective Date” at the top of the policy. The same updated text ships inside the app.
