OutOfThisWorld Studios does not collect your personal data. All sensor readings — GPS, microphone, gyroscope, magnetometer, camera — are processed entirely on your device and are never sent to us. The one exception: GadgetMatrix shows ads through Google AdMob, which collects your device's Advertising ID to serve them — see Section 4. 🚀
Who We Are
GadgetMatrix is developed and published by OutOfThisWorld Studios, a software studio focused on premium mobile utility applications. Our mission is to deliver professional-grade hardware tools with an extraterrestrial design experience.
This Privacy Policy applies to the GadgetMatrix mobile application, however you obtained it — including the Amazon Appstore and Google Play — and any associated web properties hosted at outofthisworld-studios.com/gadgetmatrix/.
Information We Do Not Collect
GadgetMatrix's own tools run entirely on your device. OutOfThisWorld Studios does not itself collect, store, sell, or transmit any of the following to our servers:
- — Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number, account)
- — Location history or GPS coordinates
- — Audio recordings or microphone data
- — Camera images or video
- — Usage analytics, crash reports, or telemetry collected by us
- — Cookies, local storage tokens, or tracking pixels
One important exception: GadgetMatrix displays ads via Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service that does collect your device's Advertising ID (GAID) and related data to serve ads. We do not control or receive that data. See Section 4 — Advertising for full details.
Device Permissions & Why We Need Them
GadgetMatrix requests certain hardware permissions to power its tools. All data accessed via these permissions is used locally in real-time only and is never stored, cached, or transmitted off your device.
Used by Compass and Speedometer tools for real-time heading and velocity. Only active while the tool is open. Never stored or logged.
Used by Sound Meter to measure ambient decibel levels. Audio is processed as amplitude data only. No recordings are made.
Used by QR Scanner to read barcodes and QR codes. The camera feed is processed on-device. No images are saved or transmitted.
Used to control the device camera LED for Torch, Strobe, and SOS modes. No data is collected via this permission.
Used by Spirit Level (gyroscope) and Metal Detector (magnetometer) for real-time readings. Sensor data never leaves your device.
Used for tactile feedback in tools like the Metal Detector proximity alert. No data is involved.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
GadgetMatrix may display advertisements powered by Google AdMob. As a third-party ad network, Google AdMob may collect and use data subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
This may include your device's advertising identifier (such as the Google Advertising ID / GAID, or the Amazon Advertising ID on Fire devices) used to serve contextual or personalised ads. You can opt out of, or reset, personalised advertising at any time:
- — Android / Google Play: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation
- — Amazon Fire devices: Settings → Preferences → Advertising ID → turn off Interest-based Ads
OutOfThisWorld Studios does not have access to or control over the data AdMob may collect. We do not use advertising identifiers for any other purpose. Ads displayed in GadgetMatrix are configured for a general audience and are subject to the content policies of the store the app was installed from.
Children's Privacy
GadgetMatrix is rated Everyone (E) and is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
Since OutOfThisWorld Studios collects no personal data directly, there is no special risk to minors from us. Ads served via Google AdMob are configured for a general audience. If you believe a child has somehow provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will address it promptly.
Data Security
Because OutOfThisWorld Studios does not collect or transmit personal data to its own systems, there is no user data at rest or in transit on our servers to protect. All sensor data remains on your device, subject to your device's own security model (sandboxing, file encryption, etc.).
Any data exchanged by the embedded Google AdMob service to serve advertising is transmitted securely over encrypted HTTPS connections and is handled in accordance with Google's security practices. We recommend keeping your device and operating system up to date for optimal security.
Third-Party Links
GadgetMatrix's QR Scanner tool may open URLs found within scanned codes in your device's browser. OutOfThisWorld Studios is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website or service accessed this way. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the Last Updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of GadgetMatrix after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users via a Play Store update note or an in-app notice.
