Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

TL;DR: We don't collect, store, or share your photos or personal information. We only collect anonymous crash reports and usage analytics to help diagnose and fix issues. Your photos stay on your device. 🔒

Introduction

Welcome to Gallery Roulette! This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application. We take your privacy extremely seriously, and we've designed Gallery Roulette to respect your personal information.

The Simple Truth

Gallery Roulette does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal data or photos.

Your photos never leave your device. Everything happens locally on your iPhone. We can't see your photos, we don't want to see your photos, and we've built the app so that it's technically impossible for us to access them.

We do collect anonymous crash reports and usage analytics to help us diagnose issues and improve the app's stability. This data is completely anonymized and contains no personal information or photo data.

Information We Collect

Gallery Roulette collects minimal, anonymous data solely to help us diagnose crashes and improve app stability:

  • Crash Reports: When the app crashes, we collect technical diagnostic information about what went wrong. This helps us fix bugs and improve stability.
  • Usage Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data such as which features are used and how often. This helps us understand how to improve the app.

Important: This diagnostic data is completely anonymized and contains no personal information, photos, or photo metadata. We cannot identify you from this data.

Information We DON'T Collect

To be absolutely clear, Gallery Roulette does NOT collect:

  • Photos from your photo library
  • Photo metadata (location, date, etc.)
  • Personal information (name, email, phone number)
  • Advertising IDs or tracking identifiers
  • Precise location data
  • Contact information
  • Browsing history or web data
  • Any other personal data beyond anonymous diagnostics

How Gallery Roulette Works

When you use Gallery Roulette, the app:

  1. Requests permission to access your photo library (required to display photos)
  2. Randomly selects a photo from your library entirely on your device
  3. Displays that photo to you

At no point does any photo data leave your iPhone. The random selection algorithm runs locally, and no information about selected photos is stored, logged, or transmitted.

Permissions We Request

Photo Library Access

Gallery Roulette requests access to your photo library to randomly select and display photos. This permission is required for the app to function. Without photo library access, there are no photos to display.

What we do with this permission: Read photos to display them to you.

Data Storage

We do not use any cloud storage, remote databases, or external servers to store any information about you or your usage.

Third-Party Services

Gallery Roulette uses the following third-party services to collect anonymous diagnostic data:

  • PostHog: We use PostHog for usage analytics and crash reporting. PostHog helps us understand how features are used and identify bugs. All data sent to PostHog is anonymized and contains no personal information or photo data.
  • Apple Analytics: We may also use Apple's built-in analytics and crash reporting services to collect additional diagnostic data.

We do not integrate with any third-party advertising networks or data brokers. The only data shared with third parties is anonymous crash reports and usage analytics for diagnostic purposes.

Data Security

Since Gallery Roulette doesn't collect, transmit, or store your photos or personal data on any servers, there's no data to secure on our end. Your photos remain protected by your device's built-in iOS security features.

We recommend keeping your iOS device up to date with the latest security patches and using a strong passcode to protect your device and all apps, including Gallery Roulette.

Your Rights

Since we only collect anonymous diagnostic data, there's no personal data for you to access, modify, or delete from our systems. You maintain complete control over your photo library through iOS settings.

You can control analytics and diagnostics sharing at the device level through: Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements

You can revoke Gallery Roulette's photo library access at any time through: Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → Gallery Roulette

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. If we ever change our data practices (which we have no plans to do), we'll update this policy.

International Users

Gallery Roulette can be used anywhere iOS devices are supported. Since we don't collect any data, there are no data transfer or jurisdiction concerns. Everything happens on your device, wherever you are in the world.

Legal Compliance

Gallery Roulette complies with applicable privacy laws including GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. The anonymous diagnostic data we collect is not considered personal data under these regulations because it cannot be used to identify you. We have no way to connect crash reports or usage analytics to any individual user.

App Store Privacy Labels

Our App Store privacy label accurately reflects our data collection practices. We indicate that we collect anonymous diagnostics and usage data for app functionality and improvement purposes. This data is not linked to your identity. You can review these labels before downloading Gallery Roulette on the App Store.


Bottom Line: Your photos are yours. We can't see them, don't want to see them, and have built Gallery Roulette so we couldn't access them even if we wanted to. We only collect anonymous crash reports and usage data to help fix bugs and improve the app. Enjoy spinning the roulette with complete peace of mind! ✨
