Privacy Policy
Keyboard Themes
Android Application · Zboston App Studio · Effective March 2026
Critical Privacy Notice: Keyboard Themes does NOT log, record, store, transmit, or share any keystrokes, typed text, passwords, messages, or any other input you type. This is an absolute commitment. The App is a visual theming tool only — it changes how your keyboard looks, not how it functions or what it records.
Introduction
Zboston App Studio ("we," "our," or "us"), based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, operates the Keyboard Themes Android application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains what the App does and does not access, and your rights as a user.
Keyboard Themes is a purely cosmetic application. It applies visual themes — colors, fonts, backgrounds, and key styles — to your Android keyboard. It does not function as an Input Method Editor (IME) replacement and does not intercept or process your typed input.
Information Collection
We want to be absolutely clear about what Keyboard Themes does NOT collect:
The App requests only the following permissions to deliver its visual theming functionality:
| Permission | Purpose | Data Sent to Our Servers? |
|---|---|---|
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_MEDIA_IMAGES | Allow users to select a custom background image for their keyboard theme | No — local only |
WRITE_SETTINGS (if applicable) | Apply the selected theme to the keyboard appearance settings | No — local only |
VIBRATE (optional) | Provide haptic feedback on key press if enabled by user in settings | No — local only |
No input data of any kind is accessed, processed, or transmitted by Keyboard Themes. The App only modifies the visual appearance of the keyboard UI layer.
Use of Data
The limited system access granted to Keyboard Themes is used exclusively for:
- Theme application: Applying the user-selected color scheme, font style, background image, and key design to the keyboard visual layer. This is a purely graphical operation.
- Custom background selection: When you choose a photo from your gallery, only that specific image is read to render the keyboard background. No other files are accessed.
- Preference storage: Your selected theme, colors, and settings are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.
- Theme preview rendering: The App renders a live preview of themes within the app interface. This uses only locally stored theme assets.
Keyboard Themes has no access to, and does not intercept, any text input, keystrokes, or IME (Input Method Editor) events. It operates at the UI theming layer only and is architecturally incapable of logging what you type.
Third-Party Services
Keyboard Themes integrates the following third-party services:
Google AdMob

Input Method Security Statement
We recognize that users are rightfully concerned about keyboard apps and data privacy. Here is our explicit security statement:
Keyboard Themes does NOT function as an Input Method Editor (IME). It does not replace your system keyboard, does not register as an input method, and does not have access to the Android InputMethodService API that would allow it to read keystrokes. It is a theme customization app that modifies the visual appearance of your existing keyboard.
- No keystroke data is captured, buffered, or transmitted — ever.
- No clipboard access is requested or used.
- No network requests are made that contain any user-typed content.
- The App cannot and does not read passwords, messages, financial data, or any other sensitive input.
- The App's network activity is limited to loading advertisements from AdMob/Facebook and downloading theme assets from our CDN (theme graphics only — no user data).
User Rights
- Right to revoke permissions: All permissions can be revoked at any time through your device Settings. Revoking storage permission will prevent custom background image selection.
- Right to erasure: Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored theme preferences from your device entirely.
- Right to opt out of personalized ads: You may opt out via your device's ad settings or through the third-party providers listed in Section 4.
- Right to information: You may contact us at any time to request clarification about our data practices.
- CCPA / California Rights: We do not sell personal data. California residents may contact us for further information.
- GDPR Rights (EU/EEA users): Since we do not process personal data ourselves, GDPR rights primarily apply to the third-party services in Section 4.
Children's Privacy
Keyboard Themes is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you have concerns, please contact us immediately.
