Privacy Policy

The short version

Agos does not collect, store, or transmit what you type. There is no account, no analytics, and no advertising. The only personal information we ever receive is what Google Play sends us to confirm your subscription is valid.

What you type

Agos never logs, stores, or uploads the text you type.

• Text you enter goes only to the app you are typing into. That app has its own privacy practices, which we do not control.
• Agos reads a short amount of text around your cursor — at most 512 characters — so it can place the cursor correctly and handle Baybayin character combinations. This is held in memory for the moment it is needed and is never written to storage or sent anywhere.
• In password fields, and in any app that requests no personalised learning, Agos suppresses suggestions and does not read surrounding text at all.
• Emoji search runs entirely on your device against a bundled catalogue. Your search terms never leave the phone.
• Agos does not learn from your typing. There is no personal dictionary, no typing history, and no cloud sync.

Your subscription

Agos is free to use for seven days from the first time you open the app or use the keyboard, with no payment details. After that, a subscription is required to keep typing. Subscriptions are sold and processed by Google Play — we never see your name, email address, or payment details.

To confirm a subscription is active, the app sends the following to our verification service:

• the Google Play purchase token for your subscription
• the app’s package name and the subscription product ID
• a one-time random value used to prevent replay

Our verification service checks the purchase token with Google’s Play Developer API in memory and returns a short-lived, signed confirmation to your device. The service does not store or log purchase tokens — they are used only for that check — and it accepts no typed text of any kind.

The only subscription record retained is that signed confirmation, kept on your device in encrypted form so Agos keeps working when you are offline. It is time-limited — valid for at most 7 days and never beyond your subscription expiry — then it expires and is refreshed automatically or removed. Uninstalling Agos or clearing its app data deletes it sooner.

Separately, Agos keeps a small record of when your free week began, so that reinstalling the app does not start a new one. It holds two times — when the week started and the latest time Agos has seen — and nothing else: no identifier and nothing you typed. It is stored on your device through Google Play services Block Store, is never sent to us, and is not included in cloud backup. Unlike the rest of Agos’s data, it can survive uninstalling and reinstalling the app when Google backup is turned on for your device, and may survive clearing Agos’s app data.

Google Play’s handling of your purchase is governed by Google’s own privacy policy.

Permissions

Agos is an input method and runs with the access Android grants keyboards. Agos requests no runtime permissions.

Android shows a warning when you enable any keyboard, saying it may be able to collect what you type. That warning is shown for every keyboard on the platform. It describes what a keyboard is technically capable of, not what Agos does.

This website

agos.onevidariadigital.com stores one item in your browser: your language preference, under agos.website.language. It is kept in your browser, is never sent to us, and you can clear it through your browser settings.

The site sets no cookies, loads no third-party scripts or fonts, and runs no analytics. Apart from the server logs described below, the site collects no personal information. To ask about testing access, write to us at the address below.

Our hosting provider, z.com, records standard server access logs, which can include IP addresses. The live logs are processed and discarded approximately every 24 hours, and an archived copy is kept on our hosting account for up to two months before it is removed automatically. These logs are used only to keep the site running and secure. z.com may also retain its own infrastructure logs under its privacy policy.

If you email us to ask about joining the private test, we receive what you send: the Google account email you use for Google Play, the device details you give, and anything else you write. We use it only to add you to the Google Play test, keep it until testing ends, and delete it sooner if you ask.

Children

Agos is intended for general audiences and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

There is no server-side copy for you to request deleted: our verification service keeps no purchase tokens, and the only records retained are on your own device: the encrypted, time-limited confirmation, which expires automatically (at most 7 days) and is deleted when you uninstall Agos or clear its app data, and the free-week record described above, which holds two times and nothing else. For privacy questions, write to contactus@agos.onevidariadigital.com. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, and under the GDPR if you are in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

To cancel a subscription or request a refund, use Google Play — we cannot process either on your behalf.

Changes

We will post any change to this policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the app.
