AlbumCurl — Privacy Policy

Overview

AlbumCurl ("the App") is a photo album creation app for iOS. Your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

In short: We collect nothing. Your data stays on your device.

2. Photos & Media

• We never browse, scan, or access your full photo library

• Selected photos are copied into the app's local storage on your device

• Original photos in your library are never modified

4. Data Storage

• No data is stored on our servers (we do not have servers)

• Data is stored in the app's private sandbox container

5. iCloud Sync (Premium Feature)

• If you enable iCloud Sync, your album data is synced using Apple's CloudKit

• CloudKit data is end-to-end encrypted by Apple

• We cannot access, read, or decrypt your synced data

• iCloud Sync is optional and disabled by default

• Only devices signed into your Apple ID can access synced albums

• You can disable iCloud Sync at any time in Settings

6. Subscriptions & Purchases

• Subscriptions and in-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple's App Store

• We do not collect or store any payment information

The only external service interaction is with Apple's App Store for subscription management and Apple's CloudKit for optional iCloud sync. Both are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

8. Children's Privacy

AlbumCurl is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. The App does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 or any user. No personal information is required to function.
