Calculator: Hide Photo & Video is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect or store any personal information on our own servers.

The app may request the following permissions:

Storage Permissions (Android 5.0 to 10)

When you use the feature of hiding and encrypting photos and videos, we need access to your storage. This permission is only used for importing media to your vault. We do not collect or transfer your data.

All Files Access (Android 11 and above)

For Android 11 and above, we require the “All Files Access” permission to scan, import, restore, and delete media files across different folders. All actions happen locally on your device without collecting or uploading data.

Read Media Images / Videos (Android 13+)

On newer Android versions, the app uses READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO to allow users to view and import their photos/videos into the secure vault. These permissions are used only when the user explicitly chooses to select media.

Camera Permission

If you use the in-app camera feature or attach images in feedback forms, we request access to the camera. This permission is only used for capturing media within the app and is not used in the background.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Hide, encrypt, and manage private photos and videos locally.
• Secure the app with a PIN lock mechanism stored locally.
• Customize app layout, themes, and grid options.
• Restore hidden media back to your gallery if requested.
• Permanently delete private files from the vault if desired.
• Allow you to view photos or play videos from inside the vault directly.

3. No Internet Data Collection by Us

We do not collect, track, or store any personal or usage data. Everything is processed and stored locally on your device.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

This app uses Google AdMob to serve advertisements.

• AdMob may collect non-personal data, such as:
  • Device type and language
  • Anonymous advertising IDs
  • General location (e.g. country)
  • Ad engagement metrics

These ads help keep the app free. Data is handled according to Google’s Privacy Policy.

Depending on your region, you may be shown personalized or non-personalized ads.

EU users will be prompted for GDPR-compliant consent before any personalized ads are shown.

5. App Sharing, Rating, and Privacy Policy Access

From within the app, you may:

• Share the app using social media or messaging apps.
• Rate the app on the Google Play Store.
• Access this privacy policy from the settings page at any time.

6. Children’s Privacy

This app does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such activity, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
