PhotoFeather Privacy Policy
Photos are processed on your device. You choose what to save or share.
About this policy
Updated 4 November 2026
Provider and contact
PhotoFeather is an Android photo compression and resizing app provided by Andrei Olaru, trading as Made by Kreativ, in Bucharest, Romania. This policy covers com.kreativ.photofeather. Contact info@madebykreativ.com for privacy questions or support.
Photos and on-device processing
You choose photos through Android's system picker or share them from another app. PhotoFeather accesses the items you select through the permissions Android grants for those items. It does not request broad storage or photo-library access. JPEG, PNG and static WebP inputs are supported; output is lossy JPEG.
PhotoFeather processes photos on your device. The app code provided by Made by Kreativ has no internet permission, backend, account system, advertising SDK, analytics SDK or billing. That code does not transmit your photos, source metadata or app activity to Made by Kreativ. Store-added components are described below. Android's picker may offer cloud-provider photos; retrieving those photos is handled by Android and your chosen provider under their own settings and policies.
Local storage and retention
The app keeps imported working copies, prepared JPEGs, output settings and a recovery record in its private storage so a session can recover after a restart. Clear session removes the imported working copies and session items. Named presets, where available, are stored locally until you delete them or uninstall the app; clearing a session does not remove them. Private export files, including temporary ZIP archives where available, that are no longer needed and are older than 24 hours are cleaned up on a later app launch; cleanup is not a background deletion service. Uninstalling the app removes its private app data under Android's normal behaviour. App-managed working data is excluded from Android backup.
Saved and shared copies
Saving creates new JPEG copies in the destination you choose or in Pictures/PhotoFeather. Originals are not overwritten or deleted. Saved copies remain outside private app storage until you delete them yourself. Sharing individual JPEGs or, where available, a ZIP archive uses Android's share sheet: the receiving app you choose can read the shared copies and handles them under its own privacy practices. Sharing is initiated by you; PhotoFeather has no automatic uploads.
Metadata and quality
PhotoFeather applies supported image orientation to the pixels, then removes source JPEG APP and comment metadata segments from freshly encoded output. It checks those segments are absent and reopens the JPEG before export. This removes source metadata such as embedded location information from its JPEG copies; output files still have generated filenames and filesystem/gallery timestamps. A custom filename prefix, where available, may contain information you choose to enter. It does not anonymise a photo or remove faces, text or other sensitive information visible in the pixels. JPEG output is lossy, and compression or resizing can reduce resolution or visible quality. Transparency is flattened onto the background colour you select.
Information you send for support
If you email Made by Kreativ, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use that information to respond and handle your request. Do not send sensitive photos or information unless necessary. Support correspondence is separate from on-device app processing; contact info@madebykreativ.com to ask about or request deletion of information you sent us, subject to any applicable retention obligations.
Google Play and external services
Google Play and Android may independently process downloads, installation information, diagnostics or feedback according to your settings and Google's policies. Such platform processing is separate from PhotoFeather's on-device processing. Opening an external website or contacting support uses the browser or email app you choose and those services' privacy practices.
Amazon Appstore editions
If you install PhotoFeather through the Amazon Appstore, Amazon applies its own app signature and store wrapper. Amazon states that this wrapper communicates with the Amazon Appstore client when the app starts, including when Amazon's automatic DRM is disabled. Amazon may process store-related app usage, technical information and diagnostics for analytics, compatibility and program-policy purposes under its own privacy practices. This means an Amazon-distributed edition should not be understood as having no platform communication or telemetry. Photo processing remains on-device; the photo-processing code supplied by Made by Kreativ does not upload your selected photos to us. This section describes how an Amazon edition is distributed, and does not announce its availability.
Changes
We will update this policy if PhotoFeather's behaviour changes and identify the revision date. Some features described here may not yet be available in every version or store edition. This policy does not describe any future paid features.
