PRIVACY POLICY — PLIST VIEWER
Effective date: October 31, 2026
App: Plist Viewer (com.tahatec.plist)
Developer: Tahatec
Contact:
support@tahatec.com
SUMMARY
Plist Viewer opens, displays, edits, converts and compares property list
files (binary, XML, OpenStep, .strings, JSON and configuration profiles)
entirely on your device. The app has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers
of its own. The files you open are never uploaded and never shared with us or
anyone else. The network is used only for advertising, for the optional push
notifications and for the anonymous usage and crash reports described below.
1. FILES
- Files you open (from the file picker, "Open with" or "Share") are read
through Android's Storage Access Framework, which gives the app access to
that one file only. The app has no permission to browse your storage.
- Files are parsed on your device. Nothing in them is sent anywhere.
- When you press Save, the app writes back to the file you opened. "Save as"
writes only to the location you choose in the system save dialog. "Share"
writes a temporary copy in the app's private cache and hands it to the app
you pick.
- Configuration profiles are shown as they are; the app does not install
them and does not verify their signatures.
- The app remembers the names and locations of recently opened files so you
can reopen them. This list stays on your device; you can remove entries or
clear it at any time.
- The clipboard is read only when you choose "Paste text", and written only
when you tap a Copy action.
2. INFORMATION THE APP STORES
Your preferences (theme, language, display settings, notification choice)
and the recent-files list — on your device only. Uninstalling the app deletes
everything it stored.
3. ADVERTISING
The app shows ads served by Google AdMob, which may also use certified
mediation partners such as Meta Audience Network. When requesting and
showing ads, these partners may collect and process data on their own
behalf, such as your advertising ID, IP address, coarse location derived
from it, and device and diagnostic information. This is standard for
ad-supported apps and is governed by the partners' own policies:
- Google:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Meta Audience Network:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
Advertising partners never receive the contents or names of your files.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and other regulated
regions, the app shows a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform)
before any ad request is made, and you can change your choice at any time
under Settings → Ad privacy choices inside the app. You can also reset your
advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in your device's Google
settings.
4. USAGE ANALYTICS AND CRASH REPORTS
The app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to learn
which features are used (for example which file format was opened or saved,
or how a file was opened) and to receive reports when the app crashes. These
reports contain device and app information (model, OS version, app version, a
random installation identifier) but never a file's keys or values, its name
or its location. Firebase's handling of this data is described at
https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
5. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
If you allow notifications, the app registers with Firebase Cloud Messaging
so we can send occasional update announcements. Registration creates a
device token held by Google; it is not linked to your identity and we store
no list of recipients. You can turn notifications off at any time in your
device's app settings. The prompt is shown only after your first save,
share or comparison, never on launch.
6. PERMISSIONS AT A GLANCE
- Internet: advertising, consent form, analytics and notifications.
- Notifications (Android 13 and later): requested only if you choose to
enable notifications.
- No storage, camera, microphone, contacts or location permission is used.
7. CHILDREN
The app is a utility, is not directed at children under 13, and we
knowingly collect no personal information from anyone, including children.
8. DATA DELETION
We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete: uninstalling
the app removes everything it stored on your device. Analytics and crash
data are held by Firebase under the policy linked in section 4, and
advertising data by the partners in section 3.
9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at the same
address with a new effective date. Material changes will be reflected in the
app's store listing.
