1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Michael Davis (“Developer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the use of the PhotoWidget mobile application (the “Application”).
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Policy.
2. DATA COLLECTION PRACTICES

- Any other information that identifies or could reasonably identify an individual

2.2 Photo Access
The Application requests access to your device’s local photo library (via Android’s MediaStore API) solely to display photos within widgets and the in-app timeline viewer.
All photo access:
- Occurs exclusively on your device
- Is never transmitted to the Developer or any third party

- Recently shown photo history (for de-duplication)
All such information:
- Is stored exclusively on the user’s device
- Is not transmitted to the Developer or any third party
- Is not stored on external servers
3. PURPOSE OF PROCESSING
Information accessed or stored by the Application is used solely for the following on-device purposes:
- Reading local photos from the user-selected album via MediaStore
- Displaying rotating photo widgets on the device home screen
- Providing a timeline viewer for navigating album photos within the app
- Storing widget preferences and rotation history to avoid repeated photos
No information is used for advertising, behavioral tracking, analytics, profiling, marketing, or automated decision-making.
4. NETWORK ACCESS
The Application does not request network or internet access permissions.

Home screen widgets provided by the Application:
- Access only locally stored photos via MediaStore
- Do not transmit information externally
- Do not independently collect additional data
- Operate entirely on the user’s device
7. DATA SECURITY

Deleting the Application will remove all locally stored widget configuration data.
8. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
