PhotoToDrive Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-06-21

PhotoToDrive is a local-first photo and video backup app designed to help users back up content from iPhone to external storage. This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed, how it is used, and your rights.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the PhotoToDrive mobile application and related support communication.

2. Core Privacy Principle

PhotoToDrive is built with a local-first approach:

3. Data We Access and Process

3.1 Photo/Video Library Access

With your permission, PhotoToDrive accesses selected photo/video metadata and media files from Apple Photos to perform backup tasks.

3.2 File Access Permissions

With your permission, PhotoToDrive uses Apple-provided document/file access mechanisms (including security-scoped permissions/bookmarks) to read/write backup destinations you select.

3.3 Local Configuration and Backup Records

The app stores required local settings and backup bookkeeping data (for example, destination references and backup state) to support features such as resume backup and skip already backed-up items.

4. Data We Do Not Sell

We do not sell your personal data.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your photo/video content with third parties for advertising purposes.

Limited disclosures may occur only when required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.

6. Network Usage and Third-Party Services

PhotoToDrive may rely on Apple platform services to function (for example, permission handling and iCloud-origin photo availability behavior managed by iOS). When content is not fully available locally, iOS may require network access to retrieve original files from iCloud before backup can complete.

If paid features are offered, purchases are handled through Apple's in-app purchase infrastructure.

7. Data Retention

Most app data is stored locally on your device and/or your chosen storage destination.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures aligned with Apple platform capabilities to protect data handled by the app. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

PhotoToDrive is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law in your region. If you believe a child provided personal data improperly, please contact us.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal data. Since PhotoToDrive is primarily local-first, many controls are directly available to you on-device (for example, app deletion, permission revocation, and file deletion).

11. International Users

If you use PhotoToDrive in different regions, local data protection laws may apply. We aim to operate this app in a privacy-respecting manner across markets.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
