Privacy policy
In short: My Collection does not collect, store on its own servers or share any of your data. Your collections stay on your device and, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, in your iCloud.
1. What the app stores
Collections and items, with names, descriptions, attributes, tags, the compressed copies of the images and your app preferences. This data stays on your device. The app has no server, asks for no account or login, and uses no ads, analytics or tracking. Attribute suggestions come only from what you have already typed, on the device: the app does not query catalogs or external services.
2. Sync (iPhone, iPad and Mac)
If you use iCloud, your collections sync 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. Android: no sync
On Android, collections stay on the device only. Android's automatic backup is turned off for the app; to take your collections to another device, use the export file (item 5).
4. System permissions
- Camera (iPhone, iPad and Android). To photograph the items in your collections. The camera is only used while the capture screen is open. The Mac does not use the camera.
- Photos. To choose images for your items and collections. The app keeps a compressed copy of the image; the original, in your library, is never changed. On Android, the app uses the system photo picker and receives only the photos you choose.
- Files. To import a backup file, the app uses the system file picker and reads only the file you choose.
- Face ID, Touch ID or biometrics. For the optional app lock. The app never receives or stores biometric data: the system does the verification.
You can revoke any permission at any time in your device's settings.
5. Export and import (.mycollection file)
You can export all your collections to a .mycollection file. It contains your collections, items and images, and it is saved or shared wherever you choose; the app does not send it anywhere. Keep it as carefully as you would your own photos. When importing, the app only reads the file you open.
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 access your location, your contacts or other apps.
- 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 a collection also removes its items from the app (and from iCloud, on Apple devices). Uninstalling the app removes the local data. Original images in your library are not changed. Exported files 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.
