Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use PhotoMesh. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the App, we may collect the following types of information:

2.1 Information you provide directly

• Account details such as name, email address, or profile information (if applicable).
• Data you enter into the App as part of its core functionality.
• Support messages or other communications you send to us.

2.2 Automatically collected information

When you use the App, certain data may be collected automatically, such as:

• Basic device information (device model, operating system version).
• App usage data (screens viewed, features used, crash logs).

This information is generally collected in an anonymized or aggregated form and does not directly identify you.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

• Providing and maintaining the App’s core features.
• Improving the App’s performance, stability, and user experience.
• Responding to your requests, questions, or support inquiries.
• Analyzing usage patterns to plan future features or improvements.
• Complying with legal obligations, if required.

4. Third-Party Services

PhotoMesh uses a small number of third-party services to operate the App, to understand how it is used, and to show advertising. These services may receive information from your device as part of providing their services, and their handling of that information is governed by their own privacy policies.

• Google Firebase Analytics — usage and feature statistics, recorded against a random app-instance identifier rather than your name.
• Google Firebase Crashlytics — crash and error diagnostics.
• Google AdMob, with Meta Audience Network as a mediation partner — advertising shown inside the App.
• Apple App Store — subscriptions and in-app purchases. We never see or store your payment details.
• Microsoft, Dropbox, Box, pCloud and Yandex — only if you choose to connect one of those accounts. See Section 5.

4.1 Advertising

Advertising in PhotoMesh is served by Google AdMob with Meta Audience Network as a mediation partner. These networks may use device and advertising identifiers to select and measure the ads you see. They do not receive your photos, your file names, or any content from your connected cloud accounts.

4.2 What is sent to analytics

The analytics events PhotoMesh records describe how the App is used, not what is in your photos: which screens you open, which providers you connect, how many items a folder contained, whether a purchase succeeded, and a description of the error when something fails. The contents of your photos are never included.

5. Cloud Accounts You Connect

PhotoMesh can connect to Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, pCloud and Yandex Disk. Connecting an account is always your choice, and the App works without connecting any.

For each account you connect, PhotoMesh reads file metadata — names, folders, sizes, image dimensions, capture dates and content hashes — so that it can identify your photos, find duplicate copies, and place them in a single gallery sorted by capture date. It reads file contents for the photos and videos you open, download, share or save.

The access PhotoMesh requests from each service also allows it to delete files, because the App lets you delete photos and videos from a connected account. It does this only when you ask, only for the items you choose, and only after you confirm. Deleted items are moved to that service’s trash, where they can be restored for as long as that service keeps them. PhotoMesh never uploads, creates, modifies, renames or moves files in a connected cloud account.

This information is processed on your device and stored on your device, in a local index and a local thumbnail cache. PhotoMesh operates no server that receives your cloud files, and their contents are never transmitted to us. Data obtained from a connected account is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to develop, improve or train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

Disconnecting an account inside the App deletes that account’s indexed data and cached thumbnails from your device. You can also revoke access from the provider’s own account settings at any time.

6. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, update, or delete your data.

You can contact us to:

• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your personal information, where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it.

10. International Users

If you access the App from outside your country of residence, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. By using the App, you consent to such transfers, subject to applicable law.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
