Photos Locked ("the app", "we", "us") is designed to keep your private
photos and videos secure on your device. Your privacy is the entire
purpose of this app. This policy explains what data the app uses and
how it is handled.
SUMMARY
All your data stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, sell,
or share any of your personal data. There are no accounts, no servers,
no analytics, and no third-party tracking.
INFORMATION WE HANDLE
Everything below is stored locally on your device only. None of it is
ever uploaded, sent to us, or shared with anyone.
- Photos and Videos
Photos and videos you import or capture are stored in the app's
private storage on your device. They are not uploaded to any server
or cloud service.
- Vault Lock (PIN and Biometrics)
Your vault is protected by a passcode and/or biometric authentication
(Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint). Authentication is handled by
your device's operating system. We never receive or store your
biometric data. Your passcode is stored securely on your device.
- Camera
The camera is used only when you choose to capture a photo or video
into your vault, and for Break-in Reports (see below). Captured media
stays on your device.
- Location
If you enable Break-in Reports, the app may record the approximate
location of a failed unlock attempt so you can review it later. This
location data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted.
- Break-in Reports
To help you detect unauthorized access attempts, the app may record a
photo from the front camera and the location at the time of a failed
unlock attempt. These reports are stored locally on your device and
are only visible to you.
DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT
- We do not collect personal information.
- We do not use analytics or tracking tools.
- We do not show ads.
- We do not use third-party advertising or marketing SDKs.
- We have no servers and no user accounts.
PERMISSIONS WE REQUEST
