1. Who we are

ImageFlow (the “App”) is developed and published on Google Play by 4ndroiDSC, an independent developer based in Spain (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used and what your rights are.

Contact: 4ndroidsc@gmail.com

2. Information we do not collect

We, the developer, do not collect, sell or share any personal data through the App. Specifically, the App does not:

• upload your photos, copies, file names, photo metadata or history to any server;
• require you to create an account or sign in;
• use analytics, crash-reporting or tracking services;
• access your whole gallery, your location, contacts, camera, microphone or any other files;
• use the advertising ID or build user profiles.

3. Your photos and on-device processing

ImageFlow only works with the photos you give it:

• photos you pick with Android's photo picker;
• a folder you choose with Android's file picker (PRO);
• photos you share to ImageFlow from another app, or open with it.

For those photos, the App reads the image and its file information (name, size, type, dimensions and metadata) to process them on your device. Photos received from other apps are copied to the App's temporary storage so they can be processed.

Your originals are never modified. Every operation creates new copies. Copies are saved only where you choose: the Pictures/ImageFlow album, a folder you pick, a ZIP file (PRO), or an app you choose from Android's share menu. Once you share a copy with another app, that app's privacy policy applies to it.

4. Photo metadata (EXIF)

Photos can contain hidden information, such as where and when they were taken or the camera model. To protect your privacy, ImageFlow removes the GPS location from the copies by default. Other details are kept in the copies unless you remove them.

With PRO you can remove or change each field (author, copyright, description, date…) and set up “Your signature” (author and copyright). Your signature is stored only on your device and is written to your copies only when you choose to.

5. Data stored on your device

To work, the App keeps the following only on your device, in its private storage protected by Android's app sandbox:

• History of your operations: date, type, number of photos, sizes before and after, settings used, links to the copies you saved, and the names of photos that could not be processed;
• settings, saved presets and your signature, if you set one;
• temporary copies, deleted automatically after you save or share them, when you start a new operation, or after 24 hours.

None of this leaves your device through us. If you have Android backup enabled, Android may back up only your settings and saved presets (including your signature) to your Google account; your history, temporary files and anything related to your photos are excluded. Such backups are managed by Google under your account and are not accessible to us.

How to delete it: clear the history in the App, uninstall the App, or go to Android Settings › Apps › ImageFlow › Storage › Clear storage. This removes all data the App stored. Your photos and the copies you saved are not affected.

6. Third-party services (Google)

The App uses some Google components. They are provided by Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd., which processes data according to its own Privacy Policy. None of them receives your photos, copies, file names or metadata.

Google AdMob (free version only)

In the free version, the App shows an ad after a finished operation (never after the first one, after cancelled operations or if the ad hasn't loaded). Ads are served by Google AdMob in limited ads mode: they are not personalized, the App does not use the Android advertising ID, and Google does not use your data to build an advertising profile.

To show these ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may still collect, according to Google:

• your device's IP address, which may be used to estimate its general location;
• interactions with the ads and the App (for example, app launches and taps on ads);
• diagnostic information about the performance of the App and the SDK;
• other device identifiers that are not the advertising ID (such as the app set ID).

Google may also store a small amount of data on your device used only to detect invalid traffic and fraud. This data is encrypted in transit. You can learn more in How Google uses information from apps that use its services.

We process this through Google on the basis of our legitimate interest in funding the free version of the App with non-personalized ads. The ads SDK only starts when a free user runs an operation that may show an ad. With ImageFlow PRO, the App never loads ads or contacts AdMob.

Google Play Billing

Used for the optional one-time purchase “ImageFlow PRO”. The payment is processed entirely by Google Play. We never receive your name, email or payment details; the App only receives confirmation that the purchase exists, to unlock PRO and restore it on other devices linked to the same Google account.

Google Play In-App Review

The App may occasionally show Google Play's rating dialog. Ratings and reviews are handled by Google Play.

7. Permissions

ImageFlow does not need permission to access your photos: Android's photo picker, file picker and share menu give it access only to what you choose.

You can revoke the notification permission at any time in Android Settings › Apps › ImageFlow.

8. When you contact us

If you email us (for example via “Contact” in the App), we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. To help us with support, the App adds to the email the App version, your Android version, your device's manufacturer and model, whether you have PRO and, if an operation failed, the reasons (never file names). You can edit or remove this before sending.

We use this information only to reply to you, based on our legitimate interest in providing support. We keep it only as long as needed to handle your request and do not share it with anyone. Our email is hosted by Google (Gmail), which may process it outside the EU under the safeguards described in Google's Privacy Policy.

9. Your rights

App data stays on your device and is under your control (see section 5). For data related to ads (section 6) or to your emails (section 8), you can ask us to access, correct or delete it, or object to or restrict its processing, under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spain's Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD). Write to 4ndroidsc@gmail.com. Since we don't receive the ad data ourselves, we will help you exercise these rights with Google where needed. You can also avoid ads entirely with ImageFlow PRO.

If you are in the EU, you may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority; in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).

10. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly process their personal data.

11. Changes to this policy

If the App's data practices change, we will update this page and its date before the change takes effect, and highlight important changes in the App or its Google Play listing.
