Privacy Policy for PhotosApp

Effective Date: July 2, 2026 Contact: contact@sideryn.com

Thank you for choosing our services, developed by Thomas Leyne ("we", "us"). This Privacy Policy applies to sideryn.com ("the Website") and PhotosApp ("the App") (collectively, "the Service"), underscoring our dedication to your privacy. We want to clarify that the Service does not directly gather any personal information from its users. However, it's important to note that third-party services integrated with the Service, such as Google APIs, may collect data as per their own privacy guidelines .

By using our Service, you acknowledge the information practices described in this policy. For questions, please contact us at contact@sideryn.com.

Information Collection and Use

The Service itself does not collect, store, or share any personal information of its users. However, the Service utilises Google APIs to provide certain functionalities. While the Service does not directly collect personal information through these services, Google may collect information as per their privacy practices.

Users are encouraged to review Google Privacy Policy to understand how Google collects and uses information.

Data Protection Mechanisms

The Service is designed so that its core Google Photos workflows run locally on your device. This approach ensures a high level of security and privacy for your sensitive information, especially those accessed through Google APIs.

Data Security: Google sign-in and Google Photos API requests are transmitted using encrypted connections. The Service processes your data directly on your device without collecting or storing any personal information, leveraging your device's existing security features. Though we do not store your data, we advise keeping your device's software updated and using reputable security software for enhanced protection.

User Control: You have full control over your data processed by the Service, with the ability to manage, delete, or restrict access directly from your device.

Use of Google User Data

The Service requests access to Google user data only after you explicitly grant permission through Google's authorization flow. We use Google user data only to provide user-facing features that are available through the Service.

Google user data received by the Service is used only to:

  • identify and manage the Google account you connected
  • let you select Google Photos items you choose to work with
  • upload media you choose to Google Photos
  • download or export media you choose from Google Photos
  • create, read, and update app-created Google Photos content
  • transfer media between Google accounts when you request that action

Consent and Revocation: Users are prompted to grant consent for data access through Google's authorization flow, with clear information about the specific data being accessed. Consent can be withdrawn at any time through your Google account permissions or by removing the connected account from the Service.

No Unauthorized Sharing: Data accessed from Google is not shared with third parties or transferred out of your device, ensuring your information remains private and secure.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy , including the Limited Use requirements.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service provider the Service uses is Google, for the purpose of integrating the Google Photos API. These services may collect information used to identify you. Google's use of information collected through its services adheres to its own Google Privacy Policy .

Your Rights

Since we do not collect any personal data, the Service does not hold data that would enable us to directly address individual data subject rights under the GDPR or other privacy laws. For inquiries or requests about your data collected by Google services, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy and Google's support resources.

Website Information Collection Practices

The Website is informational only. You cannot sign in, connect a Google account, upload media, download media, or run PhotosApp workflows through the Website itself.

Website Analytics: The Website uses a limited self-hosted analytics script to send a basic ping for website activity, such as page views, referrers, and download clicks. This analytics endpoint is operated on our own server, IP addresses are anonymised, and this website analytics is separate from Google APIs and is not used to access, collect, or share Google user data.

Website Visitors: For visitors to the Website, we do not collect personal information unless it is voluntarily provided, for example by contacting us by email. Any information provided in such a manner will be used solely for the purpose stated at the point of collection, such as responding to your query.

Third-Party Links: The Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page.
