Aglio was designed with a simple principle: your photos belong to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information (or, more accurately, how we don't).
Aglio does not collect any personally identifiable information. Starting with version 1.2.2, we use TelemetryDeck — a privacy-first analytics service — to collect fully anonymized usage data. This includes events such as which screens are viewed, when an operation is performed, or if the app crashes. This data is completely anonymous, cannot be traced back to you, and contains no Personally Identifiable Information (PII). All photo scanning, duplicate detection, and video compression continue to happen entirely on your iPhone or iPad.
The anonymous analytics we collect help us understand how the app is being used, identify bugs, and improve performance. TelemetryDeck is specifically designed to be privacy-respecting — it does not use advertising identifiers, does not fingerprint devices, and does not build user profiles. You can learn more about TelemetryDeck's approach to privacy at telemetrydeck.com/privacy.
Aglio requires access to your Photo Library to function. This access is used strictly to allow you to review, compress, and delete media within the app. Your photos and videos are never uploaded to a server — Aglio has no cloud component. All processing happens locally on your device.
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. The only data that ever leaves your device is the anonymous, non-personal analytics described above, which is sent to TelemetryDeck solely to help us improve the app.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Our commitment to keeping your photos and media entirely on-device will always remain core to Aglio. Any meaningful changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
