Effective date: November 6, 2026
Galpirok takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains how information is handled in Galpirok Android 1.1 and later.
This policy applies to the Galpirok Android app distributed through Google Play.
Developer and data controller: AlchanLabs
Privacy contact: alchanlabs.dev@gmail.com
Galpirok Android does not require registration or sign-in. The app itself has no feature that automatically sends your name, email address, phone number, location, advertising ID, usage history, or diagnostic data to the developer. It contains no advertising, analytics, or user tracking, and the developer operates no server for it.
Books, bookmarks, pages, text, and photos you add are kept in the app's private storage on your Android device. The developer cannot access this content. It is also stored in your own Google Drive only if you turn on the Google Drive sync described in section 6. Android's automatic cloud backup is turned off for the app.
On the Free plan you can create up to 3 books and up to 3 bookmarks in each book; pages are unlimited. The Unlimited plan is a one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription. It removes the limit on books and bookmarks and adds Google Drive sync. Photos, page lock, search, Trash, and file backup are on both plans. On the Free plan, however, books and bookmarks over the limit can't be restored from Trash, and a backup over the limit can't be imported.
The Unlimited plan purchase is handled by Google Play. Galpirok and the developer neither receive nor store your payment method or card details. To check whether you own the Unlimited plan, the app reads only the purchase records that Google Play provides on your device, and it does not send those records to the developer. The result (owned or not) is remembered in the app's private storage so it keeps working when you are offline. Google's terms and privacy policy apply to payments and refunds.
On the Unlimited plan, if you turn on Google Drive sync in Settings, your books, bookmarks, pages, text, Trash items, and photos are stored in a hidden area of your own Google Drive that only this app uses (the app data folder), and are kept in step across Android devices signed in to the same Google Account.
Galpirok requests only one Google Drive permission, the app data folder scope (drive.appdata). It cannot see or change any of your other Drive files or folders. This hidden area does not appear in your Drive file list, and other apps cannot access it. The content of locked pages is stored there too, because page lock does not encrypt content.
This data counts toward your Google storage and is stored and processed by Google under Google's privacy policy. The developer cannot access it. It travels only between your device and your Google Drive, never through a developer server.
The page lock password is not synced; it stays on each device. Galpirok for iPhone does not sync with the Android app.
Sync starts only when you turn it on yourself. It runs when you open the app or bring it back to the front, every minute while you use it, and a few seconds after you edit your notes. Turning sync off leaves everything already on the device in place.
You can revoke access at any time in your Google Account security settings (third-party apps and services). To delete the copy stored in Drive, turn off sync on every device that uses it, then remove Galpirok's hidden app data in Google Drive settings under Manage apps. A device with sync still on uploads it again.
Galpirok's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This information is used only to provide the sync feature you asked for, and is never used for advertising, sold, or disclosed to third parties for humans to read.
Galpirok uses the internet only to check Google Play purchases and, if you turn it on, to sync with Google Drive. It sends your records to no developer or third-party server for any other purpose. The Google components used for Google Play billing and Google Account permission may exchange information with Google under Google's policies to provide those features.
The camera is used only when you choose to take a new photo. The photo picker brings into the app only the photos you select yourself. If you pick a cloud photo, such as one in Google Photos, in the Android photo picker, Android and that service download it to your device and hand it to the app; Galpirok never accesses that account or any photo you did not pick. Photos you import or take are resized to save space and stored on your device with the page content, and extra details of the original photo such as location are not kept. The app processes photos on your device, and the developer never receives or views them. They are stored in your own Drive only if you turn on Google Drive sync.
Galpirok may use an app lock password or Android device authentication to open a locked page or confirm a protected action. Biometric data and device credentials are handled by the Android operating system; Galpirok and the developer do not collect or store biometric data. The page lock password is set per device and is not synced. If a page locked on another device arrives by sync and this device has no lock password, you open it with your device screen lock.
Page lock verifies your identity when you open that content or perform a protected action inside the app. It does not encrypt page content or backup files you export.
When you use Android backup in Settings, you can save your library as a JSON backup file or import one. Backups support up to 32 MB including photos, and you can choose whether to include Trash or make a text-only backup without photos. You choose the destination or file yourself in the Android system file picker. If you choose a cloud provider such as Google Drive as the destination, that provider stores and processes the file under its own privacy policy. This is a manual save that you start, separate from the automatic sync in section 6.
JSON backup files are not encrypted. A backup that contains locked content, or older Trash photos whose lock status is unclear, asks for your app lock password or device authentication before saving. Lock passwords and device authentication credentials are not included in backups. Imported pages are restored unlocked. Anyone with access to the file can read it, so keep backups safe and delete external copies you no longer need. On the Free plan, a backup with more than 3 books or more than 3 bookmarks in a book cannot be imported. Importing a backup turns off Google Drive sync, and your other devices and the copy in Drive do not change. If you turn sync on again, nothing is deleted: records are merged, so records in Drive that aren't in the backup come back to this device.
When you choose Galpirok from another app's share menu (gallery, browser, and so on), Galpirok receives only the text and photos that app sends and saves them as a new page on your device. It receives them only when you start the share, and they are not sent to a developer server.
When you select text on a page and tap Share in the Android menu, the selected text goes to the Android share menu. When you choose to share a photo, Galpirok hands it to the Android share menu; it creates a temporary cache file on your device and grants the receiving app you picked read-only access through Android's FileProvider. After that, the information goes to the app or service you chose, and that service's privacy policy applies.
When you save a photo to the gallery, Galpirok saves the photo you chose to your device's media library (MediaStore). On Android 9 and earlier it asks for storage permission and saves to the Pictures folder. Sharing and saving to the gallery happen only when you start them, and Galpirok and the developer send content nowhere you did not choose.
Support is optional. If you contact us by email or through the support page, you may provide a reply address, device model, Android version, app version, a description of the problem, and anything you attach yourself. We use this only to review and reply, keep it for up to one year from receipt, and then delete it. You can ask for earlier deletion at the contact below. Google's policy, or that of the email provider you choose, may apply to the inquiry itself.
Books, bookmarks, pages, and photos you delete in the app move to Trash. Items older than 30 days are cleaned up when the app starts or comes back to the front. They are not deleted in the background on exactly the 30th day while the app is not running. Within the retention period you can restore them or delete them permanently yourself, although an item may not be restorable if its original location is gone or a Free plan limit is exceeded. If you use Google Drive sync, deleting and permanently deleting also applies to your other devices on the same Google Account and to the copy in Drive. If a save fails, you must save again as the app instructs.
If your library cannot be opened and you choose "Start fresh" on the recovery screen, the original files and photos are kept separately in Recovery copies inside the app's private storage. If you were using Google Drive sync, it is turned off to protect the records in Drive and on your other devices; turning it on again brings your Drive records back. These are not part of the 30-day Trash cleanup and stay until you delete them yourself in Settings. After authentication you can export the originals from Recovery copies as a ZIP file, and you can delete them permanently. The ZIP is for manual recovery and cannot be used for regular JSON backup import. It may contain locked or previously deleted content and is not encrypted. If you choose a cloud destination in the system file picker, that provider's policy applies.
Uninstalling the app normally deletes the data in its private storage, including the current library and Recovery copies. However, if you turned on Google Drive sync, the copy stored in Drive stays after you uninstall, so delete it yourself as described in section 6. JSON/ZIP backups saved elsewhere, photos saved separately to the gallery, and content shared to other apps are not removed by Trash cleanup, deleting Recovery copies, or uninstalling; you must manage and delete them where they are stored.
Galpirok does not sell or rent personal information or your content, and uses no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, or tracking technology. Apart from the system sharing, gallery saves, manual backups, backup imports, recovery exports, and support inquiries you start yourself, and the payment (Google Play) and Google Drive sync provided by Google, it provides no app content to third parties.
The app does not automatically collect personal information and does not knowingly collect children's personal information. A parent or guardian who learns that a child sent personal information to support can ask for it to be deleted.
We may update this policy when the app's features or applicable laws change. Changes are posted on the public Android privacy policy page.
Questions about privacy, requests to delete support information, and app usage: AlchanLabs / alchanlabs.dev@gmail.com
Galpirok has no accounts, so you can delete your data yourself or ask us as follows.
Records on your device: books, bookmarks, pages, and photos you delete move to Trash and are removed when you delete them permanently or after 30 days. Uninstalling the app also removes the data on the device.
Your Google Drive copy: turn off sync on every device that uses it, then on a computer open Google Drive Settings > Manage apps and delete Galpirok's hidden app data. This copy stays in your Drive until you delete it.
Support inquiry information: ask for deletion at alchanlabs.dev@gmail.com. Even without a request, it is deleted within one year of receipt.
