The Albumbook App: Data Stays on Your Device
The Albumbook App works without an Account and without an internet connection.
Your albums are stored only on Your Device, in the app's own folder. We do not receive, see or keep copies of Your Content.
Photo library access is used only to copy the photos and videos You choose into an album, and to save photos or pages back to Your gallery when You ask. We do not scan or upload Your library.
Album lock uses a password that is stored only on Your Device, and optionally the Device's own fingerprint or face recognition. The app never receives biometric data; the operating system only tells it whether the check succeeded.
Sharing an album creates a file on Your Device that You send through the sharing features of Your operating system. Where it goes is Your choice; We are not involved in the transfer.
Version check. The app may request a small text file from albumbook.com to learn whether a newer version exists. Like any web request this reveals Your IP address and device type to Our hosting provider's standard server logs; no identifier of You or Your albums is sent.
The Albumbook App contains no advertising and no third-party analytics.
