ALBM App Privacy

Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 30, 2026

ALBM is a social photo platform for private shared albums, tagged photos, saved memories, and group-based photo discovery. This Privacy Policy explains how ALBM collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you use our website, mobile app, and related services.

This policy is intended to support ALBM's App Store launch and should be read together with the privacy disclosures shown in the App Store. If our App Store privacy labels and this policy describe a data practice differently, please contact us so we can review and correct the disclosure.

Who We Are

ALBM operates the ALBM website, mobile app, and related services. For privacy, support, legal, and App Store review questions, contact us at hello@usealbm.com.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use ALBM, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Account information, such as your name, email address, username, profile image, account type, password-authentication data, and profile settings.
• User content, such as photos, albums, captions, tags, saved photos, collaborator information, comments or labels if offered, and related upload metadata.
• Face matching information, if you choose to enroll in or use photo matching features. This may include an enrollment photo, face templates or face descriptors generated from photos, matching confidence scores, and matching status.
• Contacts or invite information, if you choose to invite people or share an album using contacts or email addresses. We do not access contacts without permission from the operating system.
• Approximate location or event/location information, if you search for, create, tag, or join albums associated with places, venues, events, or communities. We do not collect precise device location unless the app asks for permission and you grant it.
• Device and usage information, such as device type, operating system, app version, app interactions, diagnostic data, crash logs, performance data, IP address, language, and general region.
• Purchase or subscription information, if ALBM offers paid plans or creator features. Payment card details are handled by the payment provider or App Store and are not stored directly by ALBM.
• Support and communications, including messages, requests, feedback, and related contact details you send to us.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide and improve ALBM features, including shared albums and tagged photo discovery.
• Maintain user accounts, privacy settings, notifications, and saved memories.
• Process uploads, organize albums, display content, and enable collaboration.
• Provide face matching and photo discovery features when enabled.
• Support safety, security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.
• Measure app performance, understand feature usage, and fix bugs.
• Respond to product, support, privacy, and app review requests.
• Process payments, subscriptions, creator plans, or trials if offered.
• Prepare and improve future versions of the ALBM app.

App Permissions

ALBM may request permissions through iOS or another operating system. These may include access to photos, camera, notifications, contacts, or location depending on the features you use. You can manage permissions in your device settings. If you deny a permission, some features may not work.

Photos and Face Matching

ALBM may offer face matching features that help users find photos they appear in. Face matching is intended to be consent-aware, optional where required, and controlled through user settings. If enabled, face-related information is used to provide matching, tagged photo discovery, confidence percentages, and related account features.

We do not sell face matching information. We do not use face matching information to determine credit, employment, housing, insurance, or other eligibility decisions. We do not use face matching information for third-party advertising. You may request deletion of face-related data by contacting us at hello@usealbm.com.

Analytics, Crash Reporting, and Diagnostics

ALBM may use analytics, crash reporting, logging, and diagnostic tools to understand how the app performs, identify errors, prevent abuse, and improve user experience. These tools may collect device identifiers, app version, device model, operating system, interaction events, crash data, and general location derived from IP address. We do not use analytics data to track you across other companies' apps or websites unless we first obtain any consent required by law or platform rules.

Tracking and Advertising

ALBM does not sell personal information. ALBM does not currently use third-party advertising networks to track users across apps and websites. If we add advertising or tracking features in the future, we will update this policy and request any permissions required by Apple, including App Tracking Transparency where applicable.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help operate ALBM, such as hosting, storage, analytics, security, and support providers. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or with your direction or consent.

Examples of service providers may include:

• Cloud hosting, databases, storage, and content delivery providers.
• Authentication, email, notification, and support providers.
• Payment processors or App Store payment systems if paid features are offered.
• Analytics, diagnostics, crash reporting, and security providers.
• Face matching, image processing, or moderation providers if those features are enabled.

Public and Shared Content

ALBM is designed for sharing photos in albums and groups. Photos, profile details, album information, tags, and other content may be visible to people who have access to the relevant album, account, group, creator page, or shared link. Be mindful when uploading photos or inviting collaborators.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide ALBM, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. You may request deletion of account, support, or face matching data by contacting us.

Deleted content may not disappear immediately from backups, logs, cached copies, other users' devices, or shared albums where another user has independently saved or re-shared the content. We will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify information according to our retention practices and legal obligations.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request access, correction, export, or deletion of your information. Some information may be retained where required for security, legal, or operational reasons.

• You can manage app permissions in your device settings.
• You can opt out of non-essential communications where available.
• You can request deletion of face matching data.
• You can request deletion of your account or support records by contacting us.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal information. You may also have the right to appeal a privacy decision or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise privacy rights, contact hello@usealbm.com.

California Privacy Notice

If you are a California resident, California law may provide rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain sharing or sale of personal information.

International Users

ALBM may process and store information in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Children's Privacy

ALBM is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to ALBM, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Account Deletion and Privacy Requests
