Privacy Policy — FrameJam

Effective date: 30 August 2026
App: FrameJam (Android)
Developer: Ajay Kumar Maurya
Contact: ajay10790@gmail.com

Thank you for using FrameJam. This policy explains what data the app accesses, why, and what happens to it. In short: everything stays on your device. FrameJam does not upload your photos, videos, or any personal data to any server.

1. Data we collect

FrameJam does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information. Specifically, the app:

Does not create user accounts.
Does not contain analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting SDKs.
Does not send any data to remote servers.
Does not read your contacts, location, calendar, or device identifiers.

All processing — photo/video decoding, collage composition, encoding, and export — happens entirely on your device.

2. Permissions and why we ask for them

The app requests only the permissions strictly required to build a collage from your own media and save the result back to your gallery.

Permission	Purpose
`READ_MEDIA_IMAGES`	Show your photo library in the media picker so you can pick pictures for a collage. Android 13+.
`READ_MEDIA_VIDEO`	Show your video library so you can build video collages. Android 13+.
`READ_MEDIA_AUDIO`	Let you add a background music track (from your own audio library) to a video collage. Android 13+.
`READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Same purpose as the READ_MEDIA_* permissions on Android 12 and older.
`WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Save the finished collage back to your gallery on Android 10 and older. On newer Android versions the app uses the scoped MediaStore API and does not need this permission.
`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`	Show a progress notification while a video collage renders in the background, and a completion notification when it is done. Optional — the app still works if you deny it, you just will not see progress updates. Android 13+.
`FOREGROUND_SERVICE` and `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROCESSING`	Keep the video-export process running while it renders, so the export completes reliably even if you switch apps or turn the screen off.

Only files you explicitly select in the picker are read. The app does not scan or index your library, and the picker only shows a filtered list from system MediaStore for you to choose from.

3. What happens to your media

Photos, videos, and audio you pick are read from your device storage.
All rendering (layout, cropping, filters, video composition, encoding) runs locally, using on-device libraries (Android Media3 / ExoPlayer, FFmpeg, and Coil for image decoding).
The finished collage is saved to your device gallery under Pictures/FrameJam/ (photos) or Movies/FrameJam/ (videos).
Nothing is uploaded. There is no cloud backup, no telemetry, and no remote logging.

4. Sharing

When you tap Share inside the app, Android's standard share sheet opens and hands the file to whichever app you choose (WhatsApp, Instagram, email, etc.). Once the file leaves FrameJam, the receiving app's own privacy policy applies. FrameJam itself does not transmit anything.

5. Third-party libraries

FrameJam uses well-known open-source libraries that run entirely on your device:

Jetpack Compose / AndroidX — UI framework.
AndroidX Media3 / ExoPlayer — video playback and export.
FFmpeg / JavaCV — video composition and encoding for collages that mix photos and videos.
Coil — image and video-thumbnail loading.

None of these libraries send your media or personal data off-device in the way we use them.

6. Children's privacy

FrameJam is a general-purpose creative tool and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app does not collect any personal data, it does not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Data retention and deletion

All media handled by the app stays on your device.
You can delete any saved collage from within the app (Projects → tap collage → Delete) or from your device gallery at any time.
Uninstalling the app removes any app-owned caches. Collages already saved to your gallery folders remain on your device (managed by Android's Photos app) until you delete them yourself.

8. Changes to this policy

If the app's data-handling practices change, this document will be updated and the "Effective date" at the top will be revised. Since the app is distributed via the Google Play Store, material changes will also be noted in the app's Play Store listing.
