Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Introduction

Khoala is designed to help users organize and clean their photo and video gallery quickly and efficiently.

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your data.

2. Data Collection

Khoala is built with a local-first approach.

We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal photos or videos to external servers. All media processing happens directly on your device.

However, the App uses third-party services that may collect limited data as described below.

3. Access to Photos and Videos

The App requests access to your device’s gallery in order to:

• Display your photos and videos
• Allow you to review and delete files

All media processing happens entirely on your device.

Your photos and videos are never uploaded, stored, or shared externally.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

AdMob may collect certain information automatically, which may include:

• Device identifiers (such as advertising ID)
• Usage data
• Diagnostic information

This data is used to provide non-personalized or personalized ads, depending on your device settings and permissions.

Tracking and Permissions

• The App may request permission to track your activity across apps and websites using Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
• If you choose not to allow tracking, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant.

For more information, please review: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. Notifications

The App may request permission to send notifications to:

• Remind you to continue cleaning your gallery
• Improve your experience

Notifications are generated locally on your device or through platform services.

You can disable notifications at any time from your device settings.

6. Data Storage

The App stores limited data locally on your device, such as:

• Cleanup progress
• Number of deleted or kept files
• Usage-related preferences

This data is stored using local storage (e.g., SQLite) and never leaves your device.

7. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except for the integration of advertising services such as Google AdMob, which may process limited data as described above.

We do not sell your personal data.

8. Security

Since most data is processed locally on your device, your information remains under your control.

We do not maintain servers that store your personal photos or personal data.

9. Your Control

You have full control over your data:

• You can revoke gallery access at any time
• You can disable notifications
• You can manage tracking permissions (ATT)
• You can delete the app to remove all locally stored data

10. Children’s Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be reflected in this document with an updated date.
