AlbumPrivacy policy
In short: Album does not collect, store on its own servers or share any of your data. Your photos and albums stay on your device and, on iPhone, in your iCloud.
1. What the app stores
Albums, compressed copies of your photos, descriptions, tags, dates and, on iPhone and only if you allow it, the location of each album. This data stays on your device. The app has no server, asks for no account or login, and uses no ads, analytics or tracking.
2. Sync (iPhone)
On iPhone, if you use iCloud, your data syncs across your devices through CloudKit, in the private space of your Apple Account. The developer has no access to that content. Storage in iCloud follows Apple's policy.
3. Backup (Android)
There is no sync on Android. The backup is an .album file that you create and keep wherever you like (Drive, a card, your computer). The file contains your albums, tags and the compressed copies of your photos, so keep it as carefully as you would your own photos. The app only reads the file you choose when restoring. Android's automatic backup is turned off for the app.
4. System permissions
- Camera. To take photos inside the album. The camera is only used while the capture screen is open.
- Photos. On iPhone, to save photos taken in the app to your library, import existing photos and open the original version. On Android, the app uses the system photo picker (it receives only the photos you choose) and keeps a copy of the photos taken in the app in your gallery. The original photos in your library are never changed.
- Location (iPhone, while using the app). To record where the album was created. It is optional: you can decline or turn it off when creating the album. The Android app does not ask for location.
- Face ID, Touch ID or biometrics. For the optional app lock. The app never receives or stores biometric data: the system does the verification.
- Notifications (Android 13 or newer). Only for the backup reminder, which you can turn off. The notification is created on the device itself.
You can revoke any permission at any time in your device's settings.
5. Map
On iPhone, maps and address search use Apple Maps, subject to Apple's privacy policy. The Android app has no map.
6. What the app does not do
- It shows no ads and uses no analytics or tracking tools.
- It asks for no login and creates no account.
- It does not send your photos to any server of the developer.
- On Android, it does not request internet access permission.
- It does not sell or share data with third parties, because it collects none.
7. Deleting your data
Deleting an album removes its photos from the app (and from iCloud, on iPhone). Uninstalling the app removes the local data. Original photos in your library are not changed. Backup files you created stay wherever you saved them.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, of any age.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top will be updated.
