GitGallery Privacy Policy
Effective 8 November 2026. Applies to the GitGallery apps for iPhone and Android and the web app at gitgallery-umber.vercel.app. GitGallery is published on the App Store by FALCON DIGITAL.
In short: we don't collect your photos, your personal data or any analytics. Your library lives in a private GitHub repository in your GitHub account, and the apps talk to GitHub directly on your behalf. There are no ads and no tracking.
Your photos and videos
With your permission, the app reads your photo library so it can back up the photos and videos you choose. They are sent from your device straight to a private repository in your own GitHub account, using GitHub's API. They are never sent to us. Data stored on GitHub is covered by GitHub's privacy statement.
Signing in with GitHub
You sign in with GitHub's own sign-in page. The access token GitHub issues is stored only on your device, in the system's secure storage (the Keychain on iPhone), and is used only to read and write your library. We don't receive it. We don't create an account for you and we don't see your GitHub password.
The web app
The web app uses a small server to sign you in safely. While you're signed in (at most 8 hours), your GitHub access token is kept in a server-side session so the server can make requests to GitHub for you. Your browser only holds a session cookie. Files you upload from a browser pass through the server in small pieces on their way to your repository; they are not stored there. Favourites and albums you make in the web app stay in that browser.
The demo library
"Try the demo" shows sample photos downloaded from our website. Like any website, our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard request logs, such as IP addresses, for a limited time to run and protect the service. We don't use them to identify or track you.
What we don't do
- No analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs.
- No selling or sharing of personal data.
- No access to your library by us or by any partner.
Deleting your data
- Your library: delete the repository in your GitHub account (Settings → Danger Zone → Delete this repository).
- Revoke access: on GitHub, go to Settings → Applications → Authorized OAuth Apps and revoke GitGallery.
- On your device: sign out in the app's Settings, or delete the app. This removes the stored token and cache.
Children
GitGallery is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
