Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 April 2026

PixWise ("we", "our", or "the app") is developed by WiselyRise. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the PixWise mobile application.

1. Summary

PixWise is a local-first gallery app. Your photos and videos never leave your device. We do not collect personal data, usage analytics, or telemetry. The only outbound network request the app makes is a brief, anonymous version check to notify you of app updates.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

PixWise does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information. All data you create within the app (album names, folder renames, Secure Space contents, Recycle Bin items) is stored exclusively on your device.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Version check: The app periodically fetches a small JSON file from wiselyrise.in to check whether an update is available. This request contains no personal data — no device ID, no user ID, no IP address is retained by us.
We do not collect usage analytics, crash reports, advertising identifiers, location data, or any other telemetry.

2.3 Photos & Videos

PixWise reads your device media solely to display it within the app. Photo and video content is never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with any server or third party. Files moved into Secure Space are stored in app-private internal storage and cannot be accessed by other apps.

3. Permissions

PixWise requests the following Android permissions, each used only for its stated purpose:

READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO — Core gallery functionality: display, browse, search, organize, and manage photos and videos stored on your device.
READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED — Android 14+ partial access grant when you choose to give access to specific photos only.
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android ≤ 12 only) — Read media on older devices.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android ≤ 8 only) — Write/rename media files on older devices.
MANAGE_MEDIA — Enables silent move-to-trash and delete operations without a per-file system confirmation dialog (API 31+). Used for Move to Recycle Bin and Secure Space.
USE_BIOMETRIC — Authenticate access to Secure Space and Lite Mode using your fingerprint or face.
SET_WALLPAPER — Set any photo as your device wallpaper from the viewer.
INTERNET — Used only for the update version check described above. No photo or personal data is sent.

4. Secure Space

Photos and videos moved to Secure Space are stored in app-private internal storage, isolated from your main gallery and inaccessible to other apps. They are protected by biometric authentication. Secure Space data is never backed up to cloud services automatically, and is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app unless you export it first.

5. Recycle Bin

Deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin and stored locally on your device. They are automatically purged after 30 days, or you can clear them manually. Items in the Recycle Bin are never transmitted off your device.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share any data with third parties. PixWise has no advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or social login integration.

7. Children's Privacy

PixWise is not directed at children under 13. Since we collect no personal data, there is no personal information about children at risk. If you have concerns, contact us at the address below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
