Your Choices and Rights

You can choose not to upload images to our App, but please note that this may limit your ability to use certain features. You may also have rights under applicable data protection laws to access, update, or delete your personal information.

Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us so we can remove the information.

Permissions

INTERNET permissions: This permission is fundamental for any app that needs to access the internet. It allows the app to connect to remote servers to perform tasks like uploading images, fetching search results, or communicating with APIs.

Camera permission: in a reverse image search app allows the app to access the device's camera for capturing images directly within the app. This permission is necessary for users to take pictures that can be used for reverse image searches. It enables a seamless user experience by integrating camera functionality within the app interface, eliminating the need for users to use a separate camera app. The app should request this permission transparently, explaining why it's needed and ensuring that camera access is used only for relevant functionalities while respecting user privacy.

Read External Storage permission: In a reverse image search app targeting Android devices below version 13 (Android 12 and earlier), the "Read External Storage" permission allows the app to access photos, videos, and other files stored on the device's external storage (such as the SD card) for conducting reverse image searches.

Read media images permission: In Android 13 (and later versions), the concept of specific permissions like "Read External Storage" has evolved into scoped storage, which provides more restricted access to certain types of data, including media images.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
