Privacy Policy for Bubble Pick

Overview

Bubble Pick ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application - a fun way to randomly pick from your images using floating bubbles with physics.

Information We Collect

Images You Upload

Local Storage Only: When you upload or take photos in Bubble Pick, these images are:

• Stored locally on your device only
• Never uploaded to our servers or any cloud service
• Never shared with third parties
• Completely under your control

Information We Don't Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Specifically:

• No personal data is collected
• No usage analytics are gathered
• No crash reports are sent to us
• No user accounts are created or required
• No location data is accessed
• No contact information is collected
• No device identifiers are stored

How the App Works

Bubble Pick is designed to work entirely offline with your local photos. Here's how it works:

1. Photo Access: You choose to upload photos from your gallery or take new photos with your camera
2. Local Processing: Photos are processed and displayed as floating bubbles entirely on your device
3. Physics Simulation: Bubbles float around using local physics calculations
4. Random Selection: When you press the rainbow-colored control bubble, the app randomly selects one of your images locally
5. No Network Activity: The app works completely offline and makes no network requests

Data Storage

• Local Only: All photos and app data are stored locally on your device using iOS's secure storage system
• No Cloud Backup: Photo data is not backed up to iCloud or any other cloud service by our app
• App Reset: The app resets to its initial state each time you close and reopen it
• User Control: You can remove photos by tapping them, and all data is deleted when you uninstall the app

Permissions

The app requests the following permissions:

• Camera: Required to take new photos for use in the app (optional - you can decline and still use gallery photos)
• Photo Library: Required to select existing photos from your device (optional - you can decline and still use camera)
• No Other Permissions: The app does not request access to contacts, location, microphone, notifications, or any other device features

Third-Party Services

None: Bubble Pick does not use any third-party services, analytics, advertising networks, or cloud services. The app is completely self-contained.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any data, there's no personal information to:

• Access (your photos are already on your device)
• Correct (you control your photos directly)
• Delete (tap photos to remove them, or uninstall the app)
• Port to another service (your photos remain in your gallery)

All your photo data remains under your complete control on your device.

Children's Privacy

Our app does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. The app is suitable for all ages as it only works with photos you choose to add locally.

Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Your photos are protected by your device's built-in security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
• No data transmission means no risk of data breaches during transfer
• App data is stored in iOS's secure app sandbox
• Only you have access to your photos through the app

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted in the app and on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since the app doesn't collect data, changes would typically only involve clarifications or new features.

Technical Details

For developers interested in the technical implementation:

• Photos are stored using iOS's standard app sandbox storage
• No network requests are made by the app
• Physics calculations are performed locally using React Native Animated API
• The app resets state on each launch for privacy
• Built with React Native and Expo for iOS
• The app is open source and can be audited on GitHub
