1. Introduction
Gallery Guard ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application ("App") handles information when you use our photo scanning and privacy protection service.
Our App does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data or images. All processing happens locally on your device.
2. Information We Access
Photos and Media Files
- What we access: Your device's photo gallery and image files
- Why we access it: To scan and analyze images for inappropriate content detection
- How we process it: All image analysis is performed locally on your device using machine learning
- What we store: We do not store, copy, or retain any of your images
3. How We Process Your Data
On-Device Processing Only
- All image scanning and analysis occurs entirely on your device
- We use TensorFlow Lite machine learning models that run locally
- No images are uploaded to servers or transmitted over the internet
- Scan results (probability scores) may be temporarily stored in device memory during app use
- No scan results are permanently saved unless you explicitly choose to do so
4. Data We Do NOT Collect
Gallery Guard does not collect, store, or transmit:
- Your photos or images
- Personal identification information
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Location data
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Contact information
- Any data that could identify you personally
5. Permissions We Request
Storage/Media Access
- READ_MEDIA_IMAGES: Required to access and scan your photos
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required on older Android versions to access media files
These permissions are used solely for the app's core functionality and no data is transmitted off your device.
6. Data Security
- Since all processing happens on your device, your images never leave your device
- We do not maintain servers or databases that could be compromised
- The machine learning model is embedded in the app and does not require internet connectivity
- You maintain complete control over your data at all times
7. Third-Party Services
Gallery Guard does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. The app operates completely independently on your device.
8. Children's Privacy
Our app does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data at all, our app is safe for users of all ages, though parental guidance is recommended for the app's intended use case.
9. Your Rights and Choices
- Access Control: You can revoke storage permissions at any time through your device settings
- Data Deletion: Simply uninstall the app to remove all associated data
- No Account Required: The app works without creating accounts or providing personal information
10. International Users
Since all data processing occurs locally on your device and no data is transmitted to external servers, this app complies with international privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and other regional privacy laws.
11. Changes to This Privacy 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 policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Disclaimer
Important: Gallery Guard is a utility tool that uses machine learning to detect potentially inappropriate content. The accuracy of detection is not guaranteed to be 100%. Users are responsible for making final decisions about their content. This app is intended as a privacy and organizational tool, not as a substitute for parental supervision or professional content moderation.
