Privacy Policy

Your Photos

We modify your photo library by talking directly to the photo library on your device. While these modifications may sync with Apple’s iCloud or other services outside of the BestPhotos app, we do not control that process. We do not upload any of your photos or videos to any other service. Sharing photos or videos via the the BestPhotos' share sheet sends a copy of those photos or videos to another app by your specific request, for that app to use in compliance with it’s privacy policy.

Analytics

Starting in version 2.1.4, BestPhotos now uses Amplitude and Bugsnag to collect non-personal, anonymous data about app usage and crash reports. You are given the option to opt in or out of sharing these events when you first launch version 2.1.2 or later. You can change your mind at any time in app settings. BestPhotos started collecting this information using Microsoft AppCenter in version 2.1. If you opted into or out of sharing this information prior to version 2.1.2, your preference still applies. You can always change those preferences in BestPhoto’s app settings panel at any time. Historical data can not be deleted as it is anonymous, but new data will not be logged. Historical data on BestPhotos in Microsoft AppCenter was deleted and not transferred to Google.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We do not collect your personal information, and therefore don’t have any personal information to distribute to outside parties without your consent. If BestPhotos does collect personal information in the future, you will be made aware of it.
