Photomingo is built backend-free: there is no Photomingo server, no account to create, and no analytics service embedded in the app. Everything the app does happens on your device.
What the app stores, and where
- Your photo index (filenames, dates, sizes, content fingerprints) is stored in a local database on your device only.
- Cloud sign-in tokens and server credentials for services you connect (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, Google Photos, a WebDAV server) are stored on your device in encrypted storage. They are sent only to the corresponding service to access your files there.
- Your photos are transferred only between your device and the cloud services you explicitly connect, only at your request (viewing, uploading, importing or deleting copies). They never pass through any server operated by Photomingo.
What we collect
Nothing. Photomingo has no backend to send data to. We do not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data, usage analytics, or information about your photo library.
Third-party services
When you connect a cloud service, your use of that service is governed by its own privacy policy: Dropbox, Microsoft (OneDrive), pCloud, Google (Google Photos). If you connect a WebDAV server, your data is handled by whoever operates that server — for a self-hosted NAS or Nextcloud, that's you. Photomingo requests only the permissions needed to list, view, upload and delete the files you manage through it.
Google user data
Google Photos import uses the Google Photos Picker API. Photomingo only receives the photos and videos you explicitly select in Google's picker, copies them to your device, and does not store, share or transfer them anywhere else. Photomingo'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. You can revoke Photomingo's access at any time from your Google account permissions.
Permissions
- Photos and media access — to show and manage the photos on your device.
- Media location access — so that photo location data survives backups and duplicate matching works on unmodified files. Location data is never read out of your photos for any other purpose.
- Network access — to talk directly to the cloud services you connect.
Data deletion
Uninstalling the app removes the local index and all stored tokens. You can also disconnect any cloud service from the app's settings at any time, which deletes its tokens and indexed data from your device.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at photomingo.app/privacy.html with a new "last updated" date.
