Privacy policy
Last updated October 8, 2026
This notice describes what Collection Snapshot stores. The same text appears in the app under Account → Privacy.
On this phone
Collections, item fields, search text, catalog photos, and any locations you save stay in the app’s private storage first. Android backup is turned off for this app so a factory reset or uninstall removes the local library unless you exported a zip.
If you sign in
Your account email (or Google account), collections, item fields, saved locations, and catalog photos copy to your private cloud. Sync is automatic while you are signed in. We do not sell this data.
Photos
Each item keeps one optimized catalog JPEG plus a thumbnail, not the original camera file. Photos you remove or delete forever are removed from this phone and, when signed in, from cloud storage. Opening a photo full screen blocks screenshots and Recents previews.
Location
Location is optional. The app may ask for it on first launch so new items can record a pin. GPS is used only when a pin is captured. Pick location lets you search Google Places or move the map; the app stores the coordinates and any place name you confirm. There is no reverse geocoding of GPS, background tracking, or photo-based place guessing in this version.
Crash reports
Crash reports may include stack traces, device and app version, a signed-in account ID, and whether the session was anonymous. They do not include collection names, item names, photos, notes, or coordinates.
Ads
Free accounts may see a G-rated banner on Home after a consent form. Pro and Complimentary Pro do not show ads. Google AdMob and the Google User Messaging Platform may use device and advertising identifiers to show ads and record consent. We do not sell your library data. There is no separate analytics SDK.
Subscriptions
Signed-in Account can start Google Play subscriptions. Google Play processes purchases and confirms Pro for the signed-in account. Deleting a Collection Snapshot account does not cancel a Play subscription; cancel it in Google Play first. Complimentary Pro can be assigned without a subscription.
Service providers
Google Firebase provides sign-in, private cloud storage, account-deletion processing, abuse protection, and crash reporting. Google Maps Platform provides maps and place search. Google Play provides subscriptions. Google AdMob provides ads. These providers process only the information needed to deliver those features under their own privacy terms.
Retention
Local data remains until you delete it, delete the account copy, clear app storage, or uninstall. Signed-in cloud data remains until you delete it or the account. Account deletion starts immediately; a minimal deletion record may remain to prevent a deleted account from being recreated by delayed billing messages.
Your controls
Export library saves a zip on a location you pick. Import library adds copies on this phone. Sign out switches to a separate signed-out library and stops that account’s cloud sync. Delete account removes the cloud copy, any Complimentary Pro on that account, and that account’s copy on this phone. Trash items still count toward Free limits until you delete them forever.
Children
Collection Snapshot is not directed at children. Do not create an account for anyone under 13.
