Privacy Policy — Syriac Serto Keyboard (Android)

Effective date: July 2, 2026
App: Syriac Serto (Android keyboard and companion app)
Developer: George Tarzi
Contact: tarztech@gmail.com

Syriac Serto does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The keyboard works entirely on your device.

The keyboard has no internet access

An Android input method necessarily receives the keystrokes you type into it, in order to insert characters. Syriac Serto processes them only on your device and keeps no record of them. The app declares no INTERNET permission, so the keyboard:

Everything you type goes only into the app you are typing in — exactly as it would with your device's built-in keyboard.

Data we collect

None. We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, crash logs, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, or any other data. There are no accounts, no sign-in, and no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs in the app.

Permissions

The only permission the app declares is com.android.vending.BILLING, which lets it offer the optional in-app tips through Google Play. It is not internet access and is not used to collect any data.

In-app purchases

The app offers optional “tips” to support development. These are processed entirely by Google Play; we never see or receive your payment information. Making a purchase is completely optional and unlocks no personal-data collection.

Data stored on your device

The app stores nothing about you. Text you type is handled by Android and the app you are typing into; the keyboard itself keeps no record of it.

Children's privacy

Because the app collects no data at all, it is safe for users of any age, including children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Fonts

The app includes the Noto Sans Syriac Western font (SIL Open Font License 1.1) and Serto Urhoy by Fr. Joseph Tarzi (Meltho font license, for free distribution). These are bundled for on-device rendering only and involve no data collection.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a new effective date.
