Privacy Policy
Your privacy is not just a feature - it's the foundation of everything we build. Read on to understand exactly how we protect your data.
Last updated: February 4, 2026
100% On-Device
All photo processing happens locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to external servers.
No Cloud Storage
We don't store your photos on any cloud servers. Your memories stay in your hands.
No Tracking
We don't track your behavior, build profiles, or sell your data to advertisers.
No Account Required
Use PicSlid without creating an account. No email, no password, no personal info needed.
Our Privacy Promise
PicSlid processes all photos locally on your device. We never upload, store, access, or have any visibility into your photos on our servers. Your memories are yours alone - we built PicSlid specifically to keep it that way.
Information We Collect
Data Processed Locally (Never Leaves Your Device)
- Photos and videos from your device gallery - processed entirely on-device for organization
- Tags, categories, and organization preferences you create
- Location metadata from photos (if present) - used only for local organization
- App settings and customization preferences
Anonymous Analytics (Optional & Minimal)
If you choose to help us improve PicSlid, we may collect:
- Basic app usage statistics (which features are used most)
- Device type and iOS version (for compatibility)
- Crash reports to fix bugs faster
Note: You can disable all analytics in Settings at any time. These analytics never include photo content, faces, locations, or any personal information.

Data Security
No Server = No Breach
Since your photos never leave your device, there's no server to hack. Your data can't be part of a data breach because we don't have it.
Local Encryption
All app data stored on your device uses iOS's built-in encryption. When your phone is locked, your data is protected.
Secure Communications
Any communication with our servers (like checking for updates) uses HTTPS with modern TLS encryption.
Regular Audits
We conduct regular security reviews and follow Apple's best practices for iOS app security.
Your Rights & Control
You have complete control over your data. Here's what you can do:
Access
View all data the app has stored locally
Delete
Uninstall the app to remove all local data
Opt-Out
Disable all analytics in Settings anytime
Export
Your photos are always in your device gallery
Third-Party Services
PicSlid may use minimal third-party services for app improvement:
- Analytics: Anonymous usage statistics (if you opt-in)
- Crash Reporting: Helps us fix bugs faster
Important: These services never have access to your photos, faces, locations, or any personal content. They only receive anonymous technical data.
Children's Privacy
PicSlid is designed for users 13 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data from anyone, this applies universally. If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns, please contact us.
Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make significant changes, we will:
- Update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page
- Notify you through the app if changes are significant
- Never reduce your privacy protections without clear notice
