Privacy Policy

For Gallery (com.photo.gallery.albums)
Google Play developer: Spark Buck Studio
Last updated: August 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Spark Buck Studio (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Gallery Android app on Google Play.

Data we do not collect

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or other account identifiers.
We do not upload, sync, or access your photos and videos on our servers. Media stays on your device (and any cloud storage you already use outside this app).
We do not sell your personal information.

Data processed on your device

Gallery processes media and related metadata locally on your device to provide core features (browsing, albums, search, editing, and similar functions). This processing happens on-device and is not sent to us as your photo library.

Permissions

Photos, videos, and storage: Required for the app to show and manage your media library, subject to Android permission prompts.
Installed apps inventory (optional): With your consent, Gallery may read the list of installed apps to improve how albums and sources are labeled. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy → Permissions.
Notifications (optional): Used only for optional features such as indexing progress, if you enable them.
Internet: Used for ads, analytics/crash reporting, map tiles (if used), and related online services.

Crash reporting and analytics

Gallery uses Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics to keep the app stable and improve quality.

Crashlytics may collect anonymous crash reports and diagnostic data (for example, device model, OS version, app version, and stack traces). This data is not used to identify you personally.
Analytics may collect anonymous usage events (for example, app opens and feature usage) to understand how the app performs.
Collection is always enabled while you use Gallery. There is no in-app switch to turn it off. Data is processed by Google Firebase on their servers according to Google’s privacy policy.

Advertising

Gallery may show ads through Google AdMob.

In regions where required (for example, the EEA/UK and certain U.S. states), we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request your consent before personalized ads.
Ad partners may collect device identifiers (such as Advertising ID), IP address, and interaction data for ad delivery, fraud prevention, and measurement, according to your consent choices and applicable law.
You can review or change ad privacy choices in Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy options when that option is available.
See also Google’s advertising policies.

Meta (Facebook) measurement

On Google Play builds, Gallery uses Meta App Events (Facebook SDK) to measure app installs, app opens, and in-app ad performance for Meta advertising campaigns.

Before ad consent is obtained (where UMP applies), Gallery does not enable Advertising ID collection for Meta and applies Meta’s Limited Data Use (LDU) where supported.
After UMP indicates that ads may be requested, Advertising ID collection for Meta may be enabled so install and ad campaigns can optimize and report results.
When personalized ads are not allowed, Advertising ID collection for Meta stays disabled and LDU remains applied.
Meta processes this data under Meta’s privacy policy.

Firebase services

Gallery may also use Firebase Remote Config to control non-personal app configuration (for example, feature flags and ad unit IDs). Remote Config does not provide us with your photos or personal profile data.

Children’s privacy

Gallery is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

Revoke optional permissions in Android system settings or in-app Privacy settings.
Manage ad consent via Ad privacy options when shown (this also limits Meta advertiser ID collection as described above).
Uninstall the app to stop further collection by Gallery and remove local app data from your device.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
