AbleMate Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-08-20

AbleMate is an offline-first accessibility toolkit. The app is designed to work without an account, analytics, tracking, or cloud sync.

Data Collection

AbleMate does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data.

The app does not request internet permission. Data entered in the app stays on the user's device unless the user intentionally shares it through Android's share sheet or dials a phone number from the emergency profile.

Data Stored On Device

AbleMate can store the following locally:

• Emergency profile notes
• Speech-to-text notes
• Daily reminder time and enabled state

Android backup is disabled for AbleMate.

Permissions

• Camera: used for photo text reading and flashlight control.
• Microphone: used for speech-to-text notes.
• Notifications: used only for the optional daily reminder.
• Vibration: used by the flash and vibration alert tool.
• Receive boot completed: restores the optional daily reminder after device restart.

OCR and Speech

Camera text reading uses on-device text recognition. Speech recognition depends on the speech engine installed on the user's Android device. AbleMate itself does not send speech, images, notes, or profile details to a server.

Emergency and Health Disclaimer

AbleMate is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency service dispatch. In a serious emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.

Data Retention

Everything AbleMate records stays on your device. We do not store or retain your data on any server, so there is nothing for us to keep, share or delete. On the device your entries stay until you delete them in the app, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall AbleMate — Android removes the app’s private data when it is uninstalled. We keep no backups of your content, no analytics profiles and no advertising identifiers.
