1K Photos is made by Ahmed Abdalla, an independent developer working alone. I am the person responsible for the app, and the person you reach at ahmed1.abdalla9@gmail.com.
The app runs entirely on your device. Your photos and videos never reach me, because there is no server for them to reach. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and nothing about you for me to sell.
The app reads your photo library through Apple's PhotoKit once you allow it, and deletes items the same way when you tell it to. None of that content — no photo, no video, no thumbnail, no location or other metadata — is uploaded, copied off your device, or seen by me.
Which items you bookmarked, which months you have reviewed, your totals for items sorted and space freed, and your settings. All of it stays in the app's own storage on your phone. I cannot read it and I cannot restore it. Deleting the app deletes it.
Reminders are scheduled on your device, by the app itself. Nothing is sent from a server, and no one outside your phone knows one was sent.
You can withdraw photo access at any time in iOS Settings, and erase everything the app stores by deleting the app.
If you want to know what I hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted, email ahmed1.abdalla9@gmail.com and I will do it within 30 days. That covers the rights laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you. If you are unhappy with how I handle your request, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.
The app is not aimed at anyone under 13, and I do not knowingly hold a child's personal data. If you believe I do, email me and I will delete it.
If this policy changes, the version shown in the app is always the current one, and the date at the top says when it last changed.
ahmed1.abdalla9@gmail.com. It is one person answering, so give me a day or two.
