Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Picmori is a mobile application operated by Aleksandrs Vozņarskis ("Operator"), designed to help you manage and clean up your photo gallery. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about what data we collect and how we use it.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use the Picmori application (the "App") available on supported mobile platforms.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:

• Photo Metadata: File size, dimensions, date taken, MIME type, and duration (for videos). This is used to display photo information and organize review sessions.
• Perceptual Image Hashes: Mathematical fingerprints computed from your photos to detect similar and duplicate images. These hashes cannot be used to reconstruct your photos.
• Review Session Data: Records of your review sessions, including the number of photos reviewed, kept, deleted, and space freed.
• Your Decisions: Which photos you chose to keep, delete, or skip during review sessions.
• App Preferences: Your chosen language, theme (light/dark/system), notification settings, and onboarding completion status.
• Usage Counters: Daily deletion counts and session counts (used to enforce free-tier limits).
• Achievement & Streak Data: Your activity streaks and unlocked achievements.

2.2 Analytics Data

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized usage data to help us understand how the App is used and to improve the user experience. This data includes:

• App Events: Actions such as starting or completing a review session, changing settings, or viewing screens. These events do not contain photo content or personally identifiable information.
• Aggregated Statistics: Total sessions completed, total photos deleted, total space freed, preferred session mode, and streak duration. These are stored as anonymized user properties.
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, app version, and language settings, as automatically collected by Firebase.

2.3 Crash & Error Reports

We use Google Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports and error logs. This helps us identify and fix bugs. Crash reports may include:

• Device model and operating system version
• App state at the time of the crash
• Stack traces and error messages

Crash reports do not contain your photos, personal files, or any user-generated content.

2.4 Subscription Data

If you purchase Picmori Premium, your purchase is processed through the applicable app store on your device. We use RevenueCat as a subscription management service, which may collect:

• An anonymous app user identifier
• Purchase history and subscription status
• Device identifiers for purchase verification

We do not have access to your payment details (credit card numbers, billing addresses, etc.). All payment processing is handled by your app store provider and RevenueCat.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services:

4.1 Photo Sharing

The App allows you to share photos to third-party social apps (such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook) through your device's standard sharing mechanism. When you share a photo, it is sent directly from your device to the selected app. Picmori does not intermediate, store, or track the shared content.

5. Data Storage & Security

5.1 Local Storage

The vast majority of your data is stored exclusively on your device using secure local storage mechanisms:

• SQLite Database (Room): Session history, photo decisions, perceptual hashes, and usage data.
• DataStore: Encrypted user preferences and app settings.

This data is only accessible to the Picmori app and is removed when you uninstall the App.

5.2 Cloud Services

Analytics data and crash reports are transmitted to Google Firebase servers. Subscription data is managed by RevenueCat. These services employ industry-standard encryption and security practices. We do not maintain our own servers or databases for user data.

5.3 Data Retention

• Local data: Retained until you uninstall the App or clear its data.
• Analytics data: Retained by Firebase according to Google's data retention policies (default: 14 months).
• Crash reports: Retained by Firebase Crashlytics for 90 days.
• Subscription data: Retained by RevenueCat as long as your subscription is active and per their retention policy.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

6.1 GDPR & CCPA Rights

Picmori is operated from the Republic of Latvia within the European Union. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, you may have additional rights including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, or port your data. Since we do not maintain personal data on our servers, most of your data is entirely under your control on your device.

If you are located in California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion.

For any data-related requests, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Picmori is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify users through an in-app notice or by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
