Cols Privacy Policy

Cols is an Android utility for checking a user-selected local CSV, TSV, semicolon, or text export file before sharing or import.

Local Column Checks

Cols reads a file only after the user selects it with the Android document picker. The app samples up to the first 1,000 rows locally and shows column estimate, uneven-row count, empty-cell count, and likely delimiter.

Cols does not upload selected files to our servers. Cols does not edit, delete, merge, or change the original files.

Saved Summaries

When a user saves a check, Cols stores the displayed file name, sampled row count, column estimate, uneven-row count, empty-cell count, delimiter label, and saved time locally on the device. Saved summaries can be cleared in the app.

Accounts

Cols does not require an account, login, or cloud sync.

Ads

An ad-enabled build may show ads through Google AdMob. Cols uses Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google User Messaging Platform for consent and ad serving. These SDKs may process data such as Advertising ID, diagnostics, approximate device information, and app interactions for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and platform operation.
