These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Private Album iPhone app. By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. This page is provided for transparency and App Store requirements; it is not legal advice.

1. The app

Private Album lets you import photos and videos into a locked vault on your device, optionally sync them through your own private iCloud, and delete the originals from the system Photos app when you choose. Features, limits, and availability may change as we update the app.

2. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Private Album on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store terms and these Terms. You may not reverse engineer, redistribute, or use the app for unlawful purposes.

3. Free tier

Basic use of Private Album is free, holding up to 50 items. The app shows no ads and runs no analytics.

4. Pro subscriptions and purchases

Optional Pro access unlocks unlimited items and iCloud sync across your devices with the same Apple ID, plus any other benefits shown at purchase time. Pro may be offered as:

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Manage, cancel, or request refunds through Apple.

Prices are shown in the app and App Store at the time of purchase and may vary by region.

5. Your content

You retain rights to the photos and videos you store with Private Album. You are responsible for having the rights to use that content. We do not claim ownership of your media and cannot view it.

9. Privacy

How we handle information is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Third-party services

The app relies on Apple platforms (CloudKit private sync, Keychain, photo library) and may use RevenueCat for purchases. Their terms also apply.
