1. Summary
LitPhoto performs its core image processing on your device. It does not require an account, and your photos are not sent to Coolqoo's update service merely to compress, resize, crop, or convert them. The app also uses Google services for advertising, consent management, analytics, and crash diagnostics; those providers may process information as described below and in their own privacy notices.
2. Information we handle and why
| Information | Purpose | Where handled |
|---|---|---|
| Images you select, capture, edit, or save; resulting files; optional EXIF metadata retained in an output | To show, compress, resize, crop, convert, save, share, or delete images as you direct | Primarily on your device |
| App preferences, such as language, theme, output choices, whether to retain EXIF, permission status, and ad-consent state | To remember the choices that control app behavior | On your device |
| App events, app/device information, app version, crash traces, and non-fatal error diagnostics | To understand product use, improve functionality, and diagnose reliability issues | Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics |
| Advertising and consent information, including identifiers and ad interaction information that Google may process | To request consent, show and measure ads, and provide privacy options where required | Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) |
| App version in a configuration request and ordinary network request metadata | To determine whether an update prompt should be shown | Coolqoo update configuration service |
| Email address, message, and attachments you choose to send | To respond to a support request | Our support mailbox |
We do not sell personal information. LitPhoto has no normal-use account or login system.
3. Your photos and files
Local processing
When you choose an image from your device or take a new photo, LitPhoto uses that content to carry out the image operation you request. Compression, resizing, cropping, format conversion, previewing, and saving are designed to happen on the device.
EXIF and embedded metadata
LitPhoto offers choices that can retain EXIF metadata in an exported file. If an original image contains information such as capture time, device details, or location, and you choose to retain EXIF, that information can remain in the output. Review your export and sharing choices before sending an image to another person, app, or service.
Photos are not routine update-check data
The app checks update configuration at http://m.gaocangyun.com/config/litphoto/<app-version>.json. That request is for update configuration; it does not upload selected photos for core image processing. As with ordinary network requests, the service may receive network metadata such as an IP address and request details.
4. Permissions used by LitPhoto
| Permission or feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, legacy storage access permissions | Let you choose images and save results where supported by your Android version. |
CAMERA | Let you take a new photo when you choose the camera feature. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC | Keep a longer image-processing task active while it is running. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Show processing-related notifications on Android versions that require this permission. |
You can manage granted permissions in Android system settings. Declining a permission can prevent the related function from working.
5. Advertising, consent, analytics, and diagnostics
Google AdMob and UMP
LitPhoto integrates Google Mobile Ads and Google UMP. UMP requests and presents consent information where required and may make a privacy-options form available. After consent status permits advertising requests, the app can initialize Google Mobile Ads and load ads. Depending on your region, consent choices, Android and Google settings, Google may process advertising identifiers, device and app information, IP address, approximate location, ad requests, ad performance, and ad interactions.
Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics
LitPhoto uses Firebase Analytics to record app events and Firebase Crashlytics to detect crashes and non-fatal errors. The app supplies diagnostic context such as build type, version name, and version code to Crashlytics. These services may process device and app information, identifiers, event data, and diagnostic data under Google's terms and settings.
See Google's Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy information, and how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
7. Retention, deletion, and your choices
- Selected photos and exported results remain on your device until you delete them, clear app storage, or uninstall LitPhoto.
- Local preferences remain until you clear LitPhoto's app storage or uninstall it.
- Information handled by Google services is retained under Google's applicable policies and settings.
- Support correspondence may be retained long enough to respond, follow up, and maintain support records.
You can remove local app data by deleting output files, clearing LitPhoto storage in Android settings, or uninstalling the app. You can manage storage, camera, notification, and advertising settings through Android and Google settings where available, and use LitPhoto's privacy-options flow when it is presented.
8. Children
LitPhoto is not designed for children to knowingly provide personal information to us. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a support request, contact us so we can review the request.
