2. Overview

Gallerio is designed with privacy in mind. The app processes your photos and uses face detection entirely on your device. No photos, face data, or personal information are uploaded to external servers or shared with third parties.

3. Photo Library Access

Gallerio requests access to your device's photo library in order to display, organize, and manage your photos. The app reads photos solely for display and local processing within the app. Photos are never uploaded, transmitted, or stored outside your device.

You can grant or revoke photo library access at any time in your device's system settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos).

4. Face Recognition and Face Data

Gallerio analyzes photos on your device to detect faces and group them into person clusters. The app processes face bounding boxes, temporary face crops, and numeric face embeddings generated on-device with Apple's Core ML and Vision frameworks. You may optionally assign display names to person clusters.

Face crops are used only temporarily in memory during analysis and are not stored as image files. The app stores only the local photo asset identifier, face bounding box, numeric embedding, person cluster identifier, and optional user-entered person name in an on-device SQLite database.

This face data is used only to provide local photo search, person filtering, and person naming features. It is not uploaded, sold, shared, used for advertising, or used to identify you outside the app. Gallerio does not send face data to Schey Digital Services or to third parties.

Face data remains on your device until you delete the app or reset or rebuild the local analysis index inside the app. If photos are removed from your photo library, stale local index entries are ignored and no longer shown for filtering.

5. Data We Do Not Upload or Track

Gallerio does not upload, transmit, or persistently store any of the following:

  • Photos or image content
  • Face image files or persistent face crops
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Device identifiers
  • Location data
  • Personal information, except optional person names you enter locally in the app

6. Third-Party Services

Gallerio does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. No data is shared with third parties.

7. Data Storage and Security

All data processed by Gallerio (including any organizational metadata) is stored locally on your device. This data is protected by your device's built-in security mechanisms. Schey Digital Services has no access to this data.

8. Children's Privacy

Gallerio is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
