1. Introduction
Welcome to Photo Collage Maker, developed by HawkApps Studio ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your information when you download, install, and use Photo Collage Maker.
By using the app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information Collection and Use
A. Personal Data
Photo Collage Maker does NOT require user registration, account creation, or login. We do NOT collect, store, transmit, or sell any personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, phone number, or email address).
B. Photos, Media, and Files Access
To provide the core features of creating photo collages, photo grids, and mirror edits, the application requests permission to access your device's photo library (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / Photo Gallery).
- 100% Local Processing: All photo selection, layout rendering, editing, filtering, and saving occur exclusively on your device.
- No Uploads: Your photos and edited collages are never uploaded to our servers, transferred over the internet, or shared with any third party.
C. Camera Access
If you choose to take a new picture directly within the app using your device's camera:
- Camera access is used solely to capture a photo for immediate collage editing.
- Photos taken via the camera remain on your device and are processed locally.
3. Device Permissions Required
To function properly, Photo Collage Maker may request the following permissions on your Android device:
1. READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / Storage Access: Required to let you select photos from your gallery for collage creation and to save the final collage image back to your device's gallery.
2. CAMERA (Optional): Required only if you decide to take photos using the in-app camera feature.
3. INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used for standard network checks (such as loading Google Fonts or handling external links like Rate Us / Feedback).
4. Data Security & Storage
Since all photo processing and collage creation happen entirely on your local device:
- Your images are stored in your device's local storage and gallery.
- You retain 100% ownership and control over your photos and creations at all times.
- Deleting the app or clearing app data will remove any temporary app-specific files saved on your device.
5. Third-Party Services
Photo Collage Maker does not integrate third-party data tracking, behavioral analytics, or third-party advertising SDKs that sell user data.
If external links (such as Google Play Store rating or email feedback) are clicked, you may interact with standard Android system services (Google Play Store or your default Email client).
6. Children's Privacy
Our application is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hawkappofficial@gmail.com so we can take necessary actions.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Any updates will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy.
