Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

Introduction

Photo Album ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application.

Photo Album is designed as a privacy-first photo browser. We believe your photos are yours, and we have built the app around that principle.

Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not do:

• We do not collect, upload, or transmit your photos
• We do not collect personal information (name, email, phone number)
• We do not track your location
• We do not create user accounts
• We do not sell any data to third parties
• We do not use advertising trackers or ad networks

Photo Library Access

Photo Album requires access to your photo library to function. This access is used solely on your device to:

• Browse and display your photos and videos
• Read photo metadata (date, type, dimensions)
• Generate thumbnails for the gallery grid
• Organize photos by albums, dates, and categories
• Toggle favorite status on photos

All photo library operations happen locally on your device using Apple's Photos framework. No photo data is ever transmitted to any server.

Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregate usage data to improve the app. This includes:

• App opens and session duration
• Feature usage (e.g., which filters are most popular)
• Crash reports and performance metrics

This data is fully anonymized and cannot be used to identify you. We never log photo identifiers, file names, or any content from your photo library.

You can opt out of analytics by disabling "Share Analytics" in your iOS Settings under Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

Subscriptions & Purchases

Photo Album offers optional premium subscriptions through Apple's App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID.

Subscription management (including cancellation) is handled through your Apple ID settings.

Third-Party Services

The app uses the following third-party services:

• Firebase Analytics (Google) — anonymous usage analytics. Firebase Privacy Policy
• Apple StoreKit — subscription and purchase handling, managed entirely by Apple

Data Storage

The app stores minimal data locally on your device:

• Onboarding completion status
• Recently accessed albums and filters
• User preferences (theme, selected tab)
• Cached subscription status

This data is stored using iOS standard mechanisms (UserDefaults) and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Children's Privacy

Photo Album does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app does not require account creation or collect personal information from any user.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
