PRIVACY POLICY
Thank you for using Gallery (also shown as «Галерея» / «Gallery — photo, album, cloud»), a mobile application by Asinosoft (“we”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains what information the app accesses or processes and how it is used.
By using the app you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the app and uninstall it.
1. Who we are
Developer: Asinosoft
Contact: asinosoft@gmail.com
Website: https://asinosoft.ru
2. What the app does
Gallery is a photo and video gallery. It can display media from your device, organize albums, connect optional cloud storages, protect a private album with device authentication, and show ads.
3. Photos, videos and files on your device
To show your library the app requests permission to access photos and videos (and, on older Android versions, storage). Media files are read and displayed on your device.
- We do not upload your photos or videos to Asinosoft servers.
- Local app databases/caches (thumbnails, image cache, album membership, settings, temporary files) stay on the device unless you use a backup or cloud feature you choose.
- Deleting the app removes local app data; your original media in system galleries usually remains.
4. Private album and biometrics
The private album can be locked with your device screen lock / biometrics (fingerprint, face unlock, PIN/pattern), using Android system APIs.
- Biometric data is handled by the operating system / device. We do not receive or store your fingerprint or face templates.
- Private media is stored and processed locally. Screenshots of the private album may be blocked by the system for security (FLAG_SECURE).
5. Cloud storages and backups (optional)
If you connect a cloud account, the app may access that service only after you sign in and grant permission:
- Google Drive — optional browsing/sync of media you open from Drive, and optional settings / album structure backup (App Data or related Drive scopes as requested at sign-in).
- OneDrive (Microsoft) — optional browsing/sync of media you choose to open from OneDrive after Microsoft sign-in.
- Dropbox — optional browsing/sync of media you choose to open from Dropbox.
- Yandex Disk — optional browsing/sync of media you choose to open from Yandex Disk.
- Nextcloud / ownCloud — optional browsing/sync via your Nextcloud or ownCloud server credentials.
- WebDAV — optional browsing/sync via a WebDAV server you configure (login/password or token as provided by that host).
Passwords and access tokens for cloud storages (for example WebDAV/Nextcloud passwords and OAuth tokens for Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, or Yandex) are stored encrypted on your device. They are not included in Android Auto Backup / device transfer backups, and they are not uploaded as part of the optional settings backup to Google Drive. After restoring a backup you may need to sign in to cloud storages again.
Those providers process data under their own privacy policies. We do not operate those services. You can disconnect accounts in the app or revoke access in the provider’s account settings.
6. Analytics
The app uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand app usage (for example, feature opens, editor and sharing actions, storage sync results, crashes-related signals provided by the SDK, coarse device/app information). This may include advertising / app-instance identifiers as described by Google.
Firebase data is processed by Google according to: Firebase Privacy and the Google Privacy Policy.
7. Advertising
The app shows ads via Yandex Mobile Ads. The ad SDK may collect device and advertising identifiers (such as GAID / Advertising ID), IP address, approximate location derived by the SDK, and interaction data to show and measure ads.
See Yandex advertising privacy information: Yandex Privacy Policy and related ads documentation.
You can limit ad personalization in Android settings (for example, reset/delete advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization), depending on your device and OS version.
8. What we do not collect ourselves
Asinosoft does not require you to create an Asinosoft account and does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or postal address inside the Gallery app for core gallery use. Optional cloud logins are handled by the respective providers.
9. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by:
- Google (Firebase Analytics, Google Sign-In / Drive when you use those features);
- Microsoft (OneDrive when you connect it);
- Yandex (ads; Yandex Disk if you connect it);
- Dropbox if you connect it;
- your Nextcloud / ownCloud or WebDAV host if you connect them.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights and safety.
10. Data retention
- On-device data: until you clear app data, clear temporary files in the app, or uninstall.
- Analytics / ads: retained by Google and Yandex under their policies.
- Cloud backups / files: retained in your cloud account until you delete them or disconnect.
11. Children’s privacy
The app is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
12. Your choices
- Deny or revoke media / notification / related permissions in Android settings.
- Disconnect cloud accounts and delete backups in the provider’s service.
- Limit advertising ID / personalization in system settings.
- Clear temporary files from the app settings or Android storage management.
- Uninstall the app to remove local app data.
Asinosoft does not operate a separate in-app or email process to delete analytics or ads data on your behalf. To remove or limit such data, use the controls above and the privacy / account tools of Google (Firebase Analytics), Yandex (ads), and any cloud provider you connected (Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Yandex Disk, Nextcloud / ownCloud, or your WebDAV host).
13. International processing
Service providers (Google, Microsoft, Yandex, and others you connect) may process data in servers located outside your country. Their terms and safeguards apply.
14. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date will change. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
