ADDRESS LABELS

Privacy Policy

Last updated:

1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Address Labels: Print & Mail ("Address Labels") handles information when you use it. Address Labels is an Android app for keeping lists of recipients and printing their addresses on label sheets, envelopes and shipping labels. It needs no account and does not ask for your email address, photos, camera, microphone or location, and it has no permission to read your contacts.

The names and postal addresses you keep in the app are personal data of other people: your guests, friends, members and customers. The app is built so that this data stays in your hands.

2. Your addresses stay on your device

Everything you enter is stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. Addresses are never uploaded: the developer has no server that could receive them and cannot see them. They are never used for advertising, never given to the ads SDK, and never used for analytics.

  • Recipient lists and addresses. For each list the app keeps its name, and for each address the recipient's name, the address lines you entered and, if you add it, the country. You can type an address or paste it as text; the app tidies pasted text into a name and lines on your device.
  • Return address. Your own return address, if you save one, is stored the same way and is used on envelopes, shipping labels and return address labels.
  • Picking a contact. "Pick a contact" opens your phone's own contact picker. Address Labels receives only the one contact you tap and copies that contact's name and postal address into your list. The app has no contacts permission and cannot read the rest of your address book.
  • Importing a file (Premium). When you import a CSV or vCard file, the app reads only the file you pick in Android's file picker, or the file another app hands over with "Open with" or the share menu. The file is read on your device, and only the rows you confirm are added to your list. The original file is never changed.
  • Templates and calibration. Custom templates you create and the calibration values you set for a template are stored on your device.
  • Not in cloud backup. Your lists, addresses, return address, templates and calibration values are excluded from Android's cloud backup and from device-to-device transfer, so no copy of other people's addresses is stored in a backup. To keep a copy or move to a new phone, export a list as a CSV file (Premium).
  • Settings. Your paper choice, default style, theme and language, together with app state such as onboarding progress, review and ad timing and whether Premium is active, are stored on your device. They contain no names or addresses. If Android backup is turned on, these settings can be part of your own device backup.

3. When addresses leave your device

Addresses leave your device only when you do one of the following:

  • Printing. When you print, the app lays out the pages on your device and hands the document to Android's print system. The print service and the printer you choose then receive it. Print services are provided by your phone or printer maker, and some send documents over your network or through their own online service; their own privacy terms apply.
  • Saving or sharing a PDF. The PDF is saved where you choose in Android's file picker, or sent to the app you pick in the share menu.
  • Exporting a CSV file (Premium). The file is saved where you choose, or sent to the app you pick.

Once a document or file has left the app in one of these ways, it is under your control and that of the service or app you chose; the developer never receives it.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

If you don't have Premium, Address Labels shows ads from Google AdMob in three places:

  • a banner on the screen with your lists and inside a list, while they show content;
  • a full-screen ad that may appear after a print job has been handed to the print system or a PDF has been saved, never before the print dialog and never on the preview;
  • an optional rewarded ad that you can choose to watch to import one CSV file of up to 50 rows.

The app gives the ads SDK none of your addresses, names or list names. To deliver, measure and protect ads, Google and its ad partners may process your device's Android advertising ID, your IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and ad interaction and diagnostic data.

Before ads load, Address Labels uses Google's User Messaging Platform to ask for your consent, or to offer the choices privacy laws require, where those laws apply (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland). You can change your choices at any time under Settings → Ad privacy choices (shown when it applies to you), and you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android's settings. On Android versions that offer them, the ads SDK may also use Android's own ad privacy features, which you control in your device's ad privacy settings. With Premium you see no ads: the app shows no consent form and doesn't start the ads SDK.

5. Purchases (Google Play)

Premium is sold through Google Play as a one-time purchase. Google Play handles the payment: Address Labels never receives your card or other payment details. To unlock Premium, the app asks Google Play on your device which Address Labels purchases your Google account owns, and it stores only whether Premium is active. Google Play gives the developer order records (such as an order number, the product, the price, the date and the country) for accounting, tax, refunds and support. Google describes how it handles your purchase in the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Play Terms of Service.

6. Ratings, analytics and support emails

After you have printed labels or saved a PDF a few times, Address Labels may show Google Play's in-app review card, at most once every 30 days and never over an ad. Your rating and review go to Google Play under your Google account; Address Labels does not receive them and does not know whether you left one.

Address Labels does not include analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and the developer does not track how you use the app. If this changes in a future version, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and names, addresses and the content of your lists will still never be included. When you choose Settings → Send feedback, your email app opens a draft that includes the app version, Android version, device model and app language so the developer can help you; no address data is added, and you can edit or delete these lines before sending. Your email is used only to answer you.

7. Permissions

Address Labels asks you for no permissions while you use it. Its Android manifest declares only these, which Android grants at install:

  • Internet and network state: for ads, the consent form and Google Play purchases.
  • Advertising ID and Android's ad services (AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS): added by the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
  • Google Play billing (BILLING): for purchases.
  • Keep awake and foreground service (WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE): added by Android's job scheduling library, which the ads SDK uses. Address Labels has no background features of its own and shows no notifications.
  • An internal permission (DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION) that only Address Labels can hold. Android's support library uses it to protect the app's own messages.

The app has no contacts, storage, camera, microphone, location or notification permission. Contacts and files reach the app only through Android's own pickers, "Open with" and the share menu, which give it access to the one item you choose and nothing else.

8. Children

Address Labels is a general-audience tool and is not directed to children under 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through an ad, contact the developer, who will help you ask Google to delete it.

9. Retention, security and deletion

Your lists, addresses, return address, templates, calibration values and settings stay on your device until you delete them in the app, clear the app's storage or uninstall Address Labels. Because lists and addresses are not backed up, deleting them or uninstalling the app removes them for good. PDFs and CSV files you saved or shared are your own files; delete them where you saved them. Advertising data is kept by Google under its own policies, and purchase records by Google Play. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask for access to or deletion of personal information processed on the developer's behalf by writing to the contact below; the developer replies within 30 days and forwards the request to the relevant provider. If you are a recipient whose address someone keeps in the app, the developer does not hold your address and cannot delete it: ask the person who uses the app. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, but Address Labels does not store personal information on its own servers, and the Google services it uses send data over encrypted connections. Anyone who can unlock your phone can open the app, so protect your phone with a screen lock.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when Address Labels' features or data practices change. The updated policy will show a new date on this page.

Terms of Use

By downloading or using Address Labels you agree to these terms. The developer grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Do not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute the app except as allowed by law.

Premium. Without Premium you can keep 2 lists with up to 30 addresses each and 1 custom template. Premium unlocks CSV and vCard import, unlimited lists and addresses, a full sheet of return address labels, unlimited custom templates, CSV export and no ads. It is a one-time purchase at the price Google Play shows before you pay. Refunds follow Google Play's refund policies. Premium belongs to the Google account that bought it: use Settings → Restore purchases on another device. Watching a rewarded ad unlocks one CSV import of up to 50 rows only. If Premium is no longer active, the lists, addresses and templates you already have stay on your device and can still be viewed and printed; adding beyond the limits needs Premium.

Your addresses. You are responsible for the names and addresses you keep, import, print and export, and for having the right to use them, including under the privacy laws that apply to you when you hold other people's personal data. The developer claims no rights in them and has no access to them. Your lists exist only on your device and are not backed up: export a list as a CSV file if you need a copy. The developer cannot restore lists that were deleted or lost with a device.

Printing. Where the print lands on the paper depends on your printer, its settings and the label sheet. Print at 100 % ("actual size"), try the calibration test page on plain paper before you use label sheets, and check the first sheet. Most printers cannot print to the very edge of the paper. Built-in templates are described by paper, labels per sheet and label size; check them against your own sheet. Address Labels is not affiliated with any maker of label sheets, envelopes or printers, or with any postal or delivery service, and does not check whether an address is correct, complete or deliverable.

Fonts. The fonts bundled with the app are open-source fonts licensed under the SIL Open Font License. Their names, authors and licence are listed in the app on the licences screen, reachable from Settings.

Address Labels is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, wasted label sheets, envelopes or ink, mail that is delayed, returned or not delivered, lost data, or interruptions caused by your device, printer, operating system, store or ad provider. The developer may update the app or these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, without limiting consumer rights you have in your country.

Support

Need help? Email [email protected]. Settings → Send feedback fills in your app version, Android version and device model for you; the version is also shown at the bottom of Settings. Please don't send other people's addresses unless it is needed to show the problem.

Which label sheets work? Sheets are listed by paper (Letter or A4), labels per sheet and label size, the numbers printed on any pack of labels. If your sheet is not in the list, measure it and enter its rows, columns, label size, top and left margin and spacing as a custom template.

My labels print slightly off. In your printer's options, print at 100 % ("actual size"), not "fit to page" or "scale to fit". Then open Calibration for that template, print the test page on plain paper, hold it against a label sheet in front of a light and move the print up, down, left or right in 0.5 mm steps. The correction is kept for that template. If the labels drift more and more down the page, the printer is scaling the page: check the scale setting again and the paper size.

Text does not fit on a label. The app shrinks the text down to 6 pt and then tells you which address still does not fit. Shorten a line, split it into two lines, choose a narrower font or a larger label.

A contact's address was not filled in. The app has no contacts permission and reads only the contact you tap. If that contact has no postal address, or your phone does not hand it over, only the name is filled in and you can type or paste the address.

Importing a file. CSV files may use commas, semicolons or tabs. On the mapping screen, choose which column is the name and which are the address lines, and check the preview of the first rows. If letters look wrong, save the file as UTF-8 in your spreadsheet app and import it again. vCard files (.vcf) are read for names and postal addresses.

Envelopes. Choose the envelope size, then follow your printer's instructions for feeding envelopes; printers differ in the direction and side they need.

Moving to a new phone. Lists are not part of your phone's backup. Export each list as a CSV file (Premium) on the old phone and import it on the new one.

Premium and restore. Premium is linked to your Google account. On a new phone, sign in with the same Google account and use Settings → Restore purchases.

Delete your data. Delete an address or a whole list in the app, or clear the app's storage or uninstall Address Labels to delete everything it keeps on your device. For advertising data, use Settings → Ad privacy choices or your device's advertising ID settings, or email the developer with the subject "Delete my Address Labels data".
