Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Keeper does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. When you start a pass, it reads the photos in your library on your phone, groups the near-identical shots, and measures how sharp each one is and how level its horizon is. No photo, no thumbnail, and nothing measured from a photo is ever uploaded anywhere. There is no server, no account, and no analytics of our own. The only network traffic around the app comes from Google Play, which handles purchases and the rating prompt.

Who we are

Pink Keeper is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password. The app has no signup.
• No analytics of our own, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no advertising ID, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No photo upload. Your images, their thumbnails, and every measure the app computes from them stay on your phone. The grouping and the picking both run locally.
• No photo content is ever sent to us or to any third party, in any form, at any time.
• No camera, no contacts, no calendar. The app does not ask to read the location saved in your photos, and it does not ask to read your videos.

Why the app asks to see your photos

Pink Keeper finds the near-identical shots in your whole library and pre-picks the frame you would have kept. That needs the photos permission: the neighbours of a shot are the other photos taken seconds before and after it, and the app learns from choices you already made, such as the photos you marked as Favorites. With a few photos handed over by hand there are no neighbours and no history, so the app asks for your full library. If you allow only some photos, the app tells you it needs all of them and does not start a pass.

The permission is requested when you tap Start culling, after a screen that explains what the app does, and it is never placed behind the paywall. The app reads your photos only while a pass runs, never in the background. It reads photos only, never videos, and it leaves out screenshots, downloads and its own album. If you decline, the app cannot group and rank your shots. You can change the decision at any time in Android settings, under Apps > Pink Keeper > Permissions.

The app never deletes a photo on its own

Pink Keeper does not remove anything from your library by itself. When you settle a group, the keeper is copied into a Pink Keeper album inside your own photo library (Pictures > Pink Keeper). Your originals stay exactly where they are, and the shots it did not pick are simply left out of that album.

The app has no way to delete a photo. If you remove shots yourself in your gallery app, that app decides how long they stay recoverable. The album holds copies, so a kept photo exists twice until you remove the original yourself.

What stays on your device

• Your taste profile: the on-device model of which frames you tend to keep, updated every time you disagree with a pick. It never leaves the phone and it is destroyed if you delete the app.
• Your review history: the frame you kept in each group you settled, which the Keepers tab lists.
• Which photos have been handled: your phone's own numbers for them, not the images themselves.
• A small summary for the Home Screen widgets: how many shots are waiting and what the last pass kept. It holds counts and a date, no photo.
• Your settings and whether the Pro upgrade screen was seen.
• If you allow notifications, the time of day you usually open the app, so a few tips and reminders arrive at a good moment in your first week. They are scheduled on your device and nothing is sent to us.

All of the above lives in the app's private on-device storage and never leaves it. Deleting the app removes every piece of it, including the learned taste profile. The album and the copies in it stay in your photo library, because they are yours.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Google Play billing. Google Play processes the payment and shares only the purchase status with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Google's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by Android and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Deleting your data

Your data lives only on your phone. Remove the app, or clear its storage in Android settings under Apps > Pink Keeper > Storage, to delete the taste profile, the review history and the settings. The Pink Keeper album stays in your photo library; delete it in your gallery app if you want it gone. We hold no copy, so there is nothing to request from us.

Children

Pink Keeper collects no data from anyone, including children under 13. Because the app transmits no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Keeper does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, including the learned taste profile, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
