Why We Use Android AccessibilityService

SmartType Keyboard uses Android's AccessibilityService API solely to power the AI Reply feature. When you activate AI Reply, the AccessibilityService reads the visible conversation text displayed on your screen so that our AI can generate a contextually relevant reply suggestion.

This permission is optional. The AI Reply feature requires AccessibilityService to function, but all other keyboard features (typing, grammar correction, translation, tone adjustment, GPT Chat, emoji suggestions, etc.) work fully without it. You can enable or revoke this permission at any time through Android Settings → Accessibility.

What Data Is Accessed and How It Is Used

When AccessibilityService is active and you trigger the AI Reply feature, the application reads the visible on-screen text of the current conversation. This can include the following data types:

This message text is used only to generate the reply suggestion you requested. Specifically, it is: sent to a third-party AI provider (Groq, OpenAI, or OpenRouter) only to generate a reply suggestion; not stored on our servers; not used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose other than generating the requested reply; not sold or shared with any party other than the AI provider processing your request; and discarded after the reply is generated. We do not log, record, or retain the content of SMS/MMS or in-app messages read by the AccessibilityService. The AI provider processes the text under their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing.

• •SMS or MMS messages — the text of SMS/MMS messages shown on screen in your default messaging app.
• •Other in-app messages — the text of messages shown on screen in third-party messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Instagram, and similar apps.

This message text is used only to generate the reply suggestion you requested. Specifically, it is: sent to a third-party AI provider (Groq, OpenAI, or OpenRouter) only to generate a reply suggestion; not stored on our servers; not used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose other than generating the requested reply; not sold or shared with any party other than the AI provider processing your request; and discarded after the reply is generated. We do not log, record, or retain the content of SMS/MMS or in-app messages read by the AccessibilityService. The AI provider processes the text under their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing.

User Control

AccessibilityService is never activated without your knowledge. You must explicitly grant this permission through Android's Accessibility settings. The app will prompt you to enable it only when you attempt to use the AI Reply feature.

You can disable the SmartType Keyboard accessibility permission at any time via Android Settings → Accessibility → SmartType Keyboard → toggle off. Disabling it does not affect any other keyboard functionality.

SmartType uses Google AdMob to show optional rewarded ads. You can choose to watch a rewarded ad to earn free AI words. Ads are never shown while you type on the keyboard, and premium subscribers do not see ads.

To serve ads, Google AdMob and its partners may collect and process certain information, including your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID), IP address, general (coarse) location, and information about how you interact with ads. This information is used to deliver and measure ads, to prevent fraud and abuse, and — where permitted — to personalize the ads you see.

For more information about how Google uses data from apps that use its services, please see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) and the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
