Privacy policy
Galet sorts your photos on your phone, and only there. We collect no data: no account, no server, no advertising, no analytics. Your photos are never sent anywhere.
Who is responsible
Galet is published by Damien Petit, sole trader (entrepreneur individuel), 10 allée de la Verdure, 85170 Bellevigny, France. For any question about this policy: [email protected].
What the app reads on your phone
With your permission, Galet accesses your photo library to show you your photos one at a time. It reads the images and the information that comes with them: date taken, dimensions, file size, place when the photo has one, and the “favorite” mark. It also measures the sharpness of some photos to point out blurry ones. All of this processing happens on the phone.
If you chose to share only a selection of photos, Galet only sees that selection.
What the app keeps on your phone
To follow your sorting, Galet saves in a local database, on your phone:
- your decisions (keep or delete), with each photo’s internal identifier and the date of the decision;
- the photos waiting to be deleted (the “bucket”);
- your progress: photos sorted per day, streak, statistics;
- your settings and whether Premium has been bought.
The place, file name and path of the photos are only used during a sorting session: they are erased from this database when the session ends.
This data stays on your phone. On iPhone, it may be part of your device backup (iCloud or computer), which Apple manages. On Android, the app excludes its data from backups.
What we don’t do
- No account, no advertising identifier, no tracker.
- No photos or information about your photos are sent to a server: Galet doesn’t have one. The Android version doesn’t even ask for Internet access.
- No advertising, no analytics, no selling of data.
Purchases
Premium is bought through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). Payment is handled entirely by them, under their own privacy policies: Galet never sees your payment method, your name or your email address. The app only receives the information that Premium was bought on your account; it checks it on the phone and keeps it so that it works offline.
Sharing
The postcard of the day is created on your phone. It only leaves it if you tap “Share the postcard” and choose a sharing app yourself.
Deleting photos
No photo is deleted without your phone’s system confirmation. On iPhone, deleted photos stay 30 days in the “Recently Deleted” album of the Photos app.
Permissions requested
- Photos: read your photo library, and change it only when you confirm a deletion.
- Photo location (Android): read the place saved in your photos, to show it on the card. Galet never asks for your current location.
- Vibration (Android): touch feedback while sorting.
You can withdraw these permissions at any time in your phone’s settings.
Retention and deletion
Galet’s data stays on your phone as long as the app is installed. Uninstalling the app erases it. Your photos stay in your photo library.
Children
Galet collects no data, including about children.
Your rights
Since we receive no data about you, we hold none to access, correct or erase: everything is on your phone and under your control. For any question, write to us at [email protected]. You can also contact the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr).
