♣ PicToss · Privacy
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PicToss handles information when you use the app.
PicToss is provided by Ten of Clubs Consulting Jan Pruszkowski, trading as Ten of Clubs Studio, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland. In this policy, “PicToss”, “the app”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Ten of Clubs Studio and the PicToss mobile application.
The short version
Here are the most important points:
- Your photos and videos never leave your device through PicToss. PicToss does not upload, copy, sell, or store your media on our servers.
- The core app works locally. Reviewing your gallery, swiping, detecting similar photos, using the trash, and deleting files happen on your Android device.
- We do not require an account. PicToss does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, email address, contacts, or login credentials.
- We do not have our own backend. We do not operate our own server, API, or database for PicToss.
- The free version shows ads. Ads are provided by Google AdMob. Google may process data to show and measure ads.
- Premium removes ads completely. If you purchase Premium, PicToss does not show ads to you inside the app.
- Purchases are handled by Google Play and RevenueCat. Google Play processes payments. RevenueCat helps us manage purchase status and subscriptions.
- Crash reports help us fix problems. We use Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash and stability reports so we can improve the app.

What PicToss does
PicToss is an Android app that helps users clean their photo and video library.
Depending on the version and features available to you, PicToss may help you:
- review photos and videos,
- swipe to keep or move items to trash,
- detect similar photos,
- browse photos by time period,
- view selected photo information,
- manage a temporary in-app trash list before deletion,
- delete selected files using Android system mechanisms,
- track simple local statistics such as the amount of storage freed,
- remove ads and unlock Premium features through purchases.
PicToss is not a cloud storage service, photo backup service, social network, or online gallery.
Your photos and videos stay on your device
PicToss needs access to your photos and videos so it can display them and allow you to decide what to keep or delete.
However, this processing happens locally on your device.
We do not:
- upload your photos or videos to our servers,
- copy your photo library to our infrastructure,
- store your media outside your device,
- sell your photos or videos,
- use your photos or videos for advertising,
- use your photos or videos to train artificial intelligence models,
- manually view your photos or videos,
- share your photos or videos with third parties.
Features such as thumbnail generation, swipe decisions, similar photo detection, trash management, and deletion are performed on your device.
When you delete a file through PicToss, deletion is handled using Android system mechanisms. PicToss does not receive a copy of the deleted file.
Cloud backup note
If you use another service, such as Google Photos or another cloud backup provider, copies of your photos may already exist outside your device. PicToss does not control those services.
Deleting a local file through PicToss may not delete a copy that has already been backed up by another app or service. You should check the settings of your cloud backup provider if you want to manage cloud copies.
No account and no own backend
PicToss does not require you to create an account.
We do not collect or store:
- your name,
- your email address,
- your password,
- your contacts,
- your phone number,
- your private messages,
- your full photo library,
- your personal profile,
- your own cloud account data.
PicToss does not use a Ten of Clubs Studio server, backend, API, or database.
The app may communicate with third-party services only for specific purposes described in this policy:
- advertising through Google AdMob,
- purchase and subscription processing through Google Play,
- subscription and entitlement management through RevenueCat,
- crash and stability reporting through Firebase Crashlytics.
Information stored locally on your device
PicToss stores small amounts of information locally on your device so the app can work properly.
This may include:
- your app settings,
- selected language,
- swipe decisions,
- items marked as kept or moved to trash,
- information needed to display the in-app trash list,
- cached thumbnails used for performance,
- similar photo analysis data generated on your device,
- simple local statistics, such as the amount of storage freed,
- local information used to remember Premium access.
This information stays on your device and is not sent to Ten of Clubs Studio.
You can remove this local information by clearing the app’s data or uninstalling PicToss.
Please note that clearing app data may also reset local app history, settings, and locally stored decisions.
Internet use
The core features of PicToss work locally and do not require an internet connection.
The internet is used only for the following purposes:
- Advertising — to load and display ads in the free version through Google AdMob.
- Purchases and subscriptions — to process purchases through Google Play and manage purchase status through RevenueCat.
- Crash reporting — to send crash and stability reports through Firebase Crashlytics.
PicToss does not use internet access to upload your photos or videos to Ten of Clubs Studio.
Permissions we request
PicToss may request the following permissions depending on your Android version, device settings, and app features.
Photos and videos / media access
PicToss needs access to photos and videos on your device so you can review them, compare them, move them to the app’s trash list, and delete selected files.
This permission is essential for the app’s main purpose.
PicToss uses this access only to provide the app’s photo and video cleaning features.
Internet access
Internet access is used for:
- loading ads in the free version,
- processing purchases and subscriptions,
- managing Premium status,
- sending crash reports.
Advertising identifier
On supported Android versions, the free version of PicToss uses the device advertising identifier (through the Android AD_ID permission) so that Google AdMob can deliver, limit, and measure ads. If you purchase Premium, ads are removed and the app does not display AdMob ads to you.
Other permissions
PicToss does not request access to your contacts, microphone, camera, call history, SMS messages, or private messages for its core cleaning function.
If a future version of PicToss adds a feature that requires additional permissions, this Privacy Policy will be updated where appropriate.
Advertising — Google AdMob
The free version of PicToss displays advertisements through Google AdMob.
Google AdMob may process certain information to provide, personalize, limit, measure, and improve ads. This may include, depending on your device, region, consent settings, and Google settings:
- advertising identifier,
- device information,
- app information,
- approximate location derived by Google or the ad service,
- ad interactions,
- diagnostics and performance information related to ads.
Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your choices, your region, and applicable law.
Premium and ads
If you purchase Premium, ads are removed completely from PicToss.
Premium users should not see AdMob banner ads or interstitial ads inside the app.
Consent for users in certain regions
In regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, PicToss may display a consent form using Google’s consent tools before showing personalized ads.
You may be able to choose between personalized and non-personalized ads depending on your region and applicable law.
You can change or withdraw your consent choices at any time in the PicToss settings, where the privacy options can be reopened.
You can also manage ad personalization through your Android device settings and Google account settings.
Purchases and subscriptions — Google Play
PicToss offers optional paid features, such as Premium subscriptions or a lifetime purchase.
Purchases are processed by Google Play.
When you make a purchase, Google Play handles the payment process. We do not receive or store your full payment details, such as your card number or full billing information.
Google Play may provide information needed to confirm and manage your purchase, such as:
- purchase status,
- product identifier,
- subscription status,
- purchase token or transaction identifier,
- renewal or expiration status,
- country or region information relevant to the purchase.
This information is used only to provide access to Premium features, verify purchases, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable obligations.
Payments, refunds, cancellation tools, and subscription management are handled through Google Play.
Purchase management — RevenueCat
PicToss uses RevenueCat to help manage purchases, subscriptions, and Premium access.
RevenueCat helps us understand whether a user has an active subscription or valid purchase, so the app can unlock the correct Premium features.
RevenueCat may process purchase-related information such as:
- app user identifier generated for purchase management,
- product identifier,
- subscription status,
- entitlement status,
- purchase token or transaction information,
- renewal status,
- expiration status,
- store region or related purchase metadata,
- device and app information necessary to provide the service.
RevenueCat does not receive your photos or videos from PicToss.
RevenueCat is used only for purchase and entitlement management.
Crash reporting — Firebase Crashlytics
PicToss uses Firebase Crashlytics, a crash reporting service provided by Google, to help us improve app stability.
Crashlytics helps us understand when the app crashes, freezes, or behaves unexpectedly.
Crash reports may include technical information such as:
- device model,
- operating system version,
- app version,
- time of crash,
- crash logs,
- stack traces,
- diagnostic information,
- installation identifier or crash report identifier,
- information about the state of the app at the time of the crash.
Crash reports are used to identify and fix bugs.
We do not use Crashlytics to collect your photos or videos.
We do not intentionally include personal photo or video content in crash reports.
However, crash reporting tools may sometimes include technical context about what the app was doing when a crash occurred. We use this information only for debugging, security, and stability purposes.
Third-party services
PicToss uses the following third-party services. Each service processes information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
| Service | Provider | Purpose | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Advertising, ad measurement, ad delivery, consent-based personalization where applicable (free version only) | Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses data | |
| Google Play Billing | Payment processing, subscription management, purchase verification | Google Privacy Policy | |
| RevenueCat | RevenueCat, Inc. | Purchase status management, subscription management, entitlement verification | RevenueCat Privacy Policy |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Google / Firebase | Crash reporting, diagnostics, app stability improvement | Firebase Privacy & Security |
What we do not collect
PicToss itself does not collect the following information for Ten of Clubs Studio:
- your full photo library,
- your videos,
- your contacts,
- your emails,
- your private messages,
- your exact GPS location,
- your account profile,
- your password,
- your payment card number,
- your own cloud storage files,
- your browsing history outside the app.
PicToss does not use your photos or videos for advertising or analytics.
PicToss does not sell your photos or videos.
PicToss does not use your photos or videos for AI training.
Legal bases for processing
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, we rely on the following legal bases where applicable.
Performance of a contract
We process information necessary to provide the app and Premium features, including purchase status and entitlement management.
Legitimate interests
We may process limited technical information to keep the app secure, fix bugs, prevent abuse, and improve stability, including crash reports.
Consent
Where required by law, we ask for consent before showing personalized ads or using certain advertising-related identifiers.
Legal obligations
We may process or retain limited information where necessary to comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.
Data retention
PicToss does not retain copies of your photos or videos on Ten of Clubs Studio servers because we do not receive them.
Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, clear the app’s data, or uninstall the app.
Purchase-related information may be retained by Google Play and RevenueCat according to their own policies and as necessary to manage subscriptions, verify purchases, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
Crash reports are retained by Firebase Crashlytics according to Google’s applicable retention practices and settings.
Advertising-related information is processed and retained by Google according to Google’s own policies and your applicable settings.
Data security
PicToss is designed to reduce privacy risk by keeping your photos and videos on your own device.
Because we do not upload your photo library to our servers, we do not need to store or protect copies of your media on our infrastructure.
We use trusted third-party providers such as Google and RevenueCat for advertising, purchases, subscription management, and crash reporting.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, but we aim to use services and design choices that minimize the amount of information processed outside your device.
International users and data transfers
PicToss is available globally.
Our third-party service providers, including Google and RevenueCat, may process information in countries other than the country where you live.
Where required, such transfers are handled according to applicable data protection laws and the privacy practices of those providers.
Because Ten of Clubs Studio does not operate its own backend for PicToss, international processing mainly relates to third-party services used for ads, purchases, subscription management, and crash reporting.
Children’s privacy
PicToss is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13.
The app is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our own servers because PicToss does not use a Ten of Clubs Studio account system, backend, or user database.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through a third-party service used in connection with PicToss, please contact us and we will help direct you to the appropriate provider where necessary.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain privacy rights, such as the right to:
- request access to personal data,
- request correction of inaccurate data,
- request deletion of data,
- object to certain processing,
- restrict certain processing,
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent,
- request portability of certain data,
- lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you can lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In Poland, this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO, uodo.gov.pl).
Because PicToss does not have user accounts, does not operate its own backend, and does not store your photos or videos on our servers, we may not have account data to provide or delete.
You can control local app data by clearing PicToss app data or uninstalling the app.
For data processed by Google, RevenueCat, or other third-party services, your rights may need to be exercised directly through those providers, your Google account, Google Play settings, Android settings, or the relevant service’s privacy tools.
If you contact us about your privacy rights, we will do our best to assist you and direct you to the correct place.
Advertising choices
You may be able to manage advertising preferences through:
- Android settings,
- Google account settings,
- ad personalization settings,
- consent forms shown in the app where required,
- privacy options available in the PicToss settings,
- privacy settings available in your region.
In the free version of PicToss, ads help support the app.
If you do not want to see ads in PicToss, you may purchase Premium, which removes ads from the app.
Purchases, refunds, and cancellations
Purchases, subscriptions, cancellations, and refunds are handled through Google Play.
You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Google Play account settings.
Refund eligibility is determined according to Google Play’s policies and applicable law.
Ten of Clubs Studio does not receive your full payment card details and cannot directly manage payment methods stored in your Google account.
Backups and deleted photos
PicToss helps you delete files that you choose to delete using Android system mechanisms.
You are responsible for reviewing your selections before confirming deletion.
We recommend keeping backups of important photos and videos before deleting them. PicToss cannot guarantee recovery of deleted files. If a file is deleted permanently, Ten of Clubs Studio does not have a copy and cannot restore it for you.
If a photo or video has already been backed up by another service, deleting it locally through PicToss may not delete the cloud copy.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
For example, we may update it if:
- we add new features,
- we add or remove third-party services,
- legal requirements change,
- Google Play requirements change,
- we change how purchases, ads, or crash reporting work.
When we update this policy, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top.
If we make significant changes, we may also notify users in the app or on our website where appropriate.
