Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Gallery: Photo Vault, Launcher ("App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the App. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling user information responsibly and transparently.
1. Information the App May Access
To provide gallery, media management, editing, private vault, launcher, and related functionality, the App may request access to certain information or device features.
Depending on your Android version, device configuration, and the features you use, this may include:
- Photos and images stored on your device
- Videos stored on your device
- Media files selected by you
- Files or folders required for gallery and media-management functionality
- App usage and device information
- Crash and diagnostic information
- Advertising identifiers, where applicable
- Information generated when you interact with the App
The App only requests permissions necessary for features made available to you.
2. Photos, Videos, and Media Files
The App may access photos, videos, GIFs, and other supported media files so that you can:
- View photos and videos
- Organize media into albums
- Sort and filter media
- Edit photos
- Create collages
- Play videos
- Move selected media to the Private Vault
- Delete, restore, share, or otherwise manage media
- Select media for supported App features
Access to media is used to provide functionality requested by you. Where supported by Android, the App may use system media-selection tools or limited media permissions instead of requesting broader access.
We do not claim ownership of your photos, videos, or other personal media.
3. Private Vault
The Private Vault feature allows you to separate selected photos and videos from your normal gallery experience. Media placed in the Private Vault may be stored or managed locally on your device depending on the App implementation.
You are responsible for maintaining access to:
- Your device
- Your vault PIN or password
- Your authentication method
- Any security mechanism used by the App
You should maintain backups of important media. We cannot guarantee recovery of media that is deleted, lost, corrupted, removed during device reset, affected by storage failure, or otherwise becomes unavailable.
4. Photo Editing and Media Processing
When you use editing features, the App may process selected media to perform actions such as:
- Cropping
- Rotating
- Applying filters
- Adjusting images
- Adding text
- Adding stickers or overlays
- Creating collages
Processing may occur locally on your device unless a feature clearly informs you that remote or online processing is required.
5. Permissions
The App may request Android permissions necessary to provide its functionality. Depending on your device and Android version, these may include permissions related to:
- Photos and videos
- Media storage
- Notifications
- Camera, if a camera-related feature is provided
- Other permissions required for a feature initiated by you
Permissions are used only for the purposes associated with the relevant App functionality. You can manage App permissions at any time through your device settings. Some features may not function correctly if required permissions are denied.
6. Device, Usage, Analytics, and Diagnostic Data
The App may collect limited technical information necessary to operate, improve, secure, and troubleshoot the App. Such information may include:
- Device model
- Operating system and Android version
- App version
- Language or region settings
- App interactions
- Feature usage
- Crash reports
- Performance and diagnostic information
- Approximate technical identifiers
If third-party analytics, crash-reporting, advertising, or similar SDKs are included in the App, those providers may process information according to their respective privacy practices.
7. Advertising
The App may display advertisements. Advertising providers or their SDKs may collect or process information such as:
- Advertising identifiers
- Device information
- IP address
- Approximate location derived from network information
- Ad interactions
- App interactions
- Diagnostic information
Such information may be used to provide, measure, limit, personalize, or improve advertisements, subject to applicable law and user consent requirements.
Where legally required, appropriate consent or privacy controls may be presented before data is used for personalized advertising.
8. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your private photos or videos.
Information may be processed or shared with service providers when necessary for legitimate App functionality, including providers used for:
- Advertising
- Analytics
- Crash reporting
- App performance monitoring
- Security
- Technical infrastructure
We may also disclose information where required by applicable law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect users, our rights, or the security of the App.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information handled through the App. However, no electronic storage, device, software, or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should protect their devices using appropriate device security measures and maintain backups of important media.
10. Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, subject to technical, contractual, and legal requirements.
Media stored locally through the App generally remains on your device until:
- You delete it
- You remove the App
- You clear App data
- Your device storage is reset or otherwise modified
- Android or another device service removes the relevant data
Information processed by third-party service providers may be retained according to their applicable retention policies.
11. Data Deletion
You may delete photos, videos, albums, vault content, or other locally managed content using supported App functionality or Android device controls.
You may also clear locally stored App data through Android settings or uninstall the App.
If the App provides account creation or server-side storage, users will be provided with a mechanism to request deletion of their account and associated data where required by applicable law and Google Play requirements.
12. Third-Party Services
The App may use third-party SDKs or services for advertising, analytics, crash reporting, security, performance monitoring, or other operational functionality.
Third-party providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We encourage users to review the privacy practices of applicable service providers.
13. Children’s Privacy
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If the App is made available to children or included within a Google Play target audience that includes children, applicable Google Play Families and privacy requirements will be followed.
