Privacy Policy
Collage Maker (Android package photoeditor.layout.collagemaker1) · Effective 5 November 2026 · Updated for version 1.0.1
This policy explains what information the Collage Maker app ("the app") uses, why, and the choices you have. In short: your photos are edited on your device and are never uploaded by the app.
1. Photos and files
- The app uses photo-library access to display your albums and image thumbnails in its selection screen. The photos you select are read and edited on your device. On Android 14 and later, you can limit access to selected photos and add more photos later. Saved drafts may need access to the original photos when you reopen them; if access is removed or a photo is deleted, you may need to select it again.
- Collages and edited photos are saved to your device's gallery (Pictures/CollageMaker) when you tap Save.
- Projects, drafts, custom stickers and cut-outs you create are kept in the app's private storage on your device and are removed when you uninstall the app.
- The app does not upload, store on a server, or sell your photos.
2. On-device AI tools
AI Cutout, 3D Popout, Remove Background and cut-out stickers use Google ML Kit subject segmentation, which runs entirely on your device. The first time you use these tools, Google Play services may download the model; your photos are not sent with that download. Remove (object eraser) and all filters and effects are processed on your device by the app itself.
3. Advertising (free version)
The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app information and ad interaction data. Where required (for example in the EEA and UK), you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Android settings. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Pro users do not see ads.
3a. Notifications and app settings
The app uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging for occasional news and tips. Firebase assigns your installation a random token, and the app joins broad groups (all users, your country, your language and the app version) so messages can be targeted. Displaying notifications requires your permission on supported Android versions. Turning off notification display does not by itself disable Firebase installation registration. You can turn notifications off at any time in Android Settings › Apps › Collage Maker › Notifications.
When it starts, the app downloads its ad settings (which ads are on and how often they appear) from a configuration server. This request sends the app's package name, plus the network details every web request carries, such as your IP address. It contains no photos or account information.
4. Purchases
Pro (1 Day pass, Weekly and Yearly subscriptions) is sold through Google Play Billing. Payment details are handled by Google; the app never sees your card or account details. The app only receives confirmation of what you have purchased so it can unlock Pro. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions.
5. Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Photos / media | To display albums and image thumbnails, select up to 100 photos for a collage, and reopen photos used in saved drafts. Android 14 and later also support access limited to selected photos. |
| Internet / network state | To load ads in the free version, download ad settings, receive notifications, check purchases and download the on-device AI model. |
| Notifications (Android 13+) | To show news and tips. Optional, and you are asked first. |
| Billing | To buy and restore Pro. |
6. Sharing
When you tap Share, your image is handed to the app you pick (for example WhatsApp or Instagram). What happens next is governed by that app's privacy policy.
7. Data we collect
The app has no account sign-up and no analytics of its own. Google AdMob (free version), Google Firebase (notifications) and Google Play (purchases) receive the data described above. The configuration server also receives ordinary network request information, including the IP address, when the app downloads ad settings. Photos and projects are not uploaded by the app.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
9. Security and retention
Because your photos and projects stay on your device, you control them: delete them in the app or uninstall the app to remove them. Data held by Google is kept according to Google's own policies.
10. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
11. Contact
