Your photos stay yours.

This policy describes Gallery Rescue for Android, published by RevJelly. Contact: hi@revjelly.com.

What the app reads and stores

When you choose a folder, media-library access or Takeout archive, Gallery Rescue reads the selected files and metadata to propose date corrections. This can include filenames, folder paths, embedded timestamps, file sizes, image dimensions, video metadata and Takeout JSON. A sidecar may contain location fields; the app extracts its date and may record whether location data is present, without uploading those coordinates.

Scans, proposals, file references, duplicate fingerprints, repair checkpoints and original date fields for undo are stored in the app's private storage on your device. Preferences and a hashed purchase-fulfillment ledger are also stored locally. System app backup is disabled for this data. The app has no account, ad SDK, developer-operated analytics or crash-reporting service, or developer-operated media server.

Permissions and your choices

Folder access uses Android's document picker. Optional library access lets the app scan the images and videos Android makes available; you may limit or deny it and use a selected folder instead. Android may separately ask for write access. Notifications report long-running work. The app does not request all-files access, camera, microphone, contacts, SMS or location permission.

Changes, undo and exports

Scanning does not change your originals. A repair requires your reviewed selection. The app stores original date fields before a write and reopens completed files for verification. Corrected copies use a folder you choose. Undo restores supported date fields or removes a corrected copy if the file has not changed since repair; access loss, a later edit or provider limits can prevent undo. Keep a separate backup of important media.

A CSV preview may contain filenames, file references and dates. It is written only to a destination you choose. The optional copied support summary contains Android version and coarse counts/status, without filenames, paths, precise dates, coordinates or media hashes. Sending that summary is your choice.

Google Play purchases

Google Play processes payment, purchase verification and order records under its own policies. RevJelly does not receive your payment-card details through the app. The app queries product information and purchase ownership through Google Play Billing. The Billing library also sends technical diagnostics about billing API usage, success/failure and service-connection issues to Google, together with a generated billing-client identifier and app/Android version information. This connection initializes automatically, including when you use the free allowance. Google uses this information for billing-service diagnostics and reliability. RevJelly cannot offer deletion of Google operational records from this app; Google privacy controls and retention policies apply. This Google billing communication does not upload your photos, filenames, scan proposals or undo history to RevJelly. Google's processing is governed by its own policies; RevJelly does not operate a separate analytics service for your photo activity. Lifetime ownership can be restored through Play. Consumable rescue credits and their saved scan allocations are local and cannot be recovered after app-data deletion or uninstall. See Google's privacy policy and your Google Play order history.

Retention and deletion

Use Settings → Clear rescue history to delete local scans, proposals, repair history and undo records. This does not restore changed files, remove your photos or erase purchase preferences. Uninstalling or clearing app storage removes local app data and remaining undo records. It does not remove media you saved outside the app. You can revoke file/library permissions in Android settings.

Children and policy changes

The app is a general photo-management utility and is not specifically designed for children. It does not ask users to submit personal information to RevJelly. Changes to this policy will be reflected on this page with an updated date. For questions or requests concerning information you voluntarily send to support, email hi@revjelly.com.
