Privacy Policy
For the Filmsy mobile app. Last updated 12 October 2026.
The short version. Filmsy sends the photo you pick to Google's Gemini API to create the edited version, then sends it back to your phone. We do not keep your photos. We do not run ads, analytics, or trackers, and we do not sell data. You do not need an account.
Your photos
When you apply an effect, the photo you selected is uploaded over an encrypted connection to our backend, which passes it to Google's Gemini API to generate the edited image. The result comes back to your phone.
- Your photos are not stored on our servers. They exist only for the few seconds the request takes, and are not written to any database or file storage.
- We do not use your photos to train models and we do not review them.
- Google processes the image as our service provider in order to return a result. Their handling is governed by the Gemini API terms.
- Edited photos you save are written to your device's own photo library. Nothing is uploaded anywhere unless you share it yourself.
What we do store
So that credits and daily allowances work, we keep a small record tied to an anonymous ID that the app generates on first launch:
- the anonymous ID (a random string — not your name, email, or phone number)
- your credit balance and current subscription tier
- how many generations you have used today, so the daily allowance can reset
- a ledger of credit grants and spends, used to resolve billing disputes
This record contains no personal identifiers. We cannot tell who you are from it, and we do not try to link it to you.
Permissions the app asks for
- Camera — to take a photo in the app. Nothing is captured unless you press the shutter.
- Photo library — to import a photo you choose, and to save results. We only ever read the specific images you select.
- Vibration — for button feedback.
Purchases
Credit packs and subscriptions are sold through the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, and managed on our side by RevenueCat, which tells our backend when a purchase succeeds so we can add your credits. Your payment details go to Apple or Google and are never seen by us. We receive only a purchase receipt identifier and which product was bought.
What we do not do
- No advertising and no ad identifiers.
- No analytics or crash-tracking SDKs. The app ships with none.
- No selling, renting, or sharing of data with data brokers.
- No location collection, contact list access, or device fingerprinting.
Service providers
We rely on Google Firebase (anonymous sign-in, the credit database, and the servers that run the app's backend), Google's Gemini API (generating the edited image), and RevenueCat (purchase validation). Each receives only what it needs to do its job.
Retention and deletion
Photos are not retained. The credit record persists while you use the app, because deleting it would delete credits you paid for. To have it erased, follow the steps on Request deletion of your Filmsy data — the app shows your anonymous ID in Settings, and we delete the matching record. Deleting the app does not delete the record, and note that erasing it also erases any unspent credits.
Children
Filmsy is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the data we hold, or to object to its processing. Because our record is anonymous, the only way we can identify it is by the ID from your device. Write to us and we will act on it.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top and note the change in the app's release notes.
