This Privacy Policy explains how Deoldify handles information when you use the Deoldify Android application.
Summary: Deoldify colorizes and edits photos on your device without uploading them for processing. You choose whether to save or share a result. Internet access may be used to download the on-device model, serve advertising, manage consent, and communicate with Google Play for optional purchases and in-app reviews.
Deoldify is provided by Masood Ur Rehman.

Deoldify lets you select a photo from your device or capture a photo using your camera. The selected or captured image is used to provide the app's photo colorization, save, and share features.
The current version processes the image on your device using local app storage and the device's memory. Deoldify does not operate a user account system and does not intentionally collect your name, email address, contacts, messages, or precise location.
Selected and captured photos are processed in device memory. Camera captures and images prepared for sharing may remain temporarily in app cache. Saving creates a new image in your device Gallery; editing does not overwrite the source photo. Sharing opens the Android share chooser, and the app or service you select handles the shared result under its own policies.
When you save a result, Deoldify stores a local history entry containing references to the original image and saved result, a save date, and an app-private, reduced-size copy of the original aligned for before-and-after comparison. My Restorations retains the 50 newest entries. Removing an entry, or replacing an older entry when the limit is reached, also removes its app-owned comparison copy; it does not delete the original or the separate Gallery result.
The app may retain the selected photo reference to reopen your selection. History entries, private comparison copies, and the saved selection reference are excluded from Android cloud backup and device transfer by the app's backup rules. Android backup remains enabled for other eligible app data and preferences. Gallery backup or sync by other apps follows those apps' settings and policies.
Deoldify does not sell your photos. Deoldify does not use your photos to train an AI model.
Deoldify may request camera permission so you can take a photo directly inside the app. Camera access is used only when you choose the camera option.
Deoldify downloads its on-device colorization model from a fixed revision hosted on huggingface.co. The app uses HTTPS and verifies the model's size and checksum before making it available for processing. After the model is downloaded, colorization and editing run locally.
The model-download request does not include your selected photo. Hugging Face and its delivery providers may process standard network information such as your IP address and request logs. For information about the hosting service's practices, see the Hugging Face Privacy Policy.
Deoldify uses Google AdMob to show ads, including banner and interstitial ads. Deoldify also uses Google's User Messaging Platform to request and manage consent where required, including for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
Google and its advertising partners may collect or process information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location inferred from network information, app interactions, ad views, ad clicks, diagnostics, and fraud-prevention information. The exact data processed may depend on your region, device settings, consent choices, and Google's advertising technologies.

Deoldify uses Google's User Messaging Platform to update consent information when the app starts and present any consent form required by that service. Ad requests are gated by the service's permission to request ads. Depending on the message provided for your region, you may be offered choices such as consenting, not consenting, or managing options. The app's privacy options entry point, when available, opens Google's form to review or change those choices.
Deoldify offers an optional one-time Deoldify Plus purchase through Google Play to remove ads. No subscription is offered. Google Play handles payment details. The app receives purchase status, product ID, purchase token, and acknowledgement state needed to provide, acknowledge, and restore the purchase; it does not receive your full card or bank details. The app stores the current Plus entitlement on your device and refreshes purchase status through Google Play.
Deoldify may request Google Play's in-app review flow after you use the app. If you choose to submit a rating or written review, Google Play receives and handles that information. Reviews may be public on Google Play, or shared privately with the developer during closed testing. You can delete your review through Google Play or your Google Account. Deoldify does not store a copy of the rating or review in the app. See Google's in-app review data disclosure.
Google AdMob and related advertising and consent services may handle limited app, device, advertising, and diagnostics information for advertising, consent management, fraud prevention, analytics, security, and service operation. Google Play handles purchase and optional review information as described above. The model hosting service handles the download request as described in section 5.
Deoldify does not share your selected photos with advertisers.
App-private history and comparison copies remain until you remove their entries, they are replaced by newer entries at the 50-entry limit, or you clear app data or uninstall Deoldify. Temporary camera and sharing files may remain in app cache until Android, the app, or you clear the cache. Clearing cache alone does not remove persistent history, preferences, or the downloaded model.
Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the app's locally stored model, history, comparison copies, selection reference, and preferences. It does not delete original photos or results saved separately in your Gallery, nor cancel an existing Google Play purchase. Gallery images and images shared to other apps follow the retention and backup settings of those apps.
Google, Hugging Face, and their service providers may retain advertising, consent, purchase, review, diagnostics, and network data according to their own policies.
Deoldify uses Android platform storage and permission controls. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to limit app data handling to what is needed for the app's features.
Deoldify is not intended for children under 13 and is not designed as a child-directed app. If you believe a child has provided personal information through Deoldify, contact us so we can help address the issue.
Deoldify may be available in multiple countries. Third-party services used by the app may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
We may update this Privacy Policy when Deoldify changes or when legal, policy, or service requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last updated date.
