Privacy Policy — Spinning Image

The short version. Spinning Image matches your photo to album covers entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded and never leave your phone. There is no account, no tracking across apps, and no advertising identifier. We collect no personal data — only anonymous usage statistics (counts and timings, never content).

Your photos

When you take a photo or choose one from your library, all analysis — the AI comparison against our catalog of album covers — runs locally on your device. Your photo is not sent to us or to any third party, and it is not stored anywhere except on your own phone. When you share a result, the side-by-side card is created on your device and shared only through the apps you choose (Messages, Instagram, etc.).

Data we collect

The app requires no account and has no login. We never collect, store, or transmit your personal information, your photos, or the content of your matches.

We collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how the app is used — for example, that a match or daily challenge was played, a result was shared, or how long a download took. These events contain only counts, categories, and timings; never your photos, never the albums you matched, and they are not linked to your identity (we use Google Firebase Analytics without the advertising identifier; no tracking across apps).

We also use Apple's built-in App Analytics (downloads, sessions, crashes), which is likewise aggregate and anonymous. See Apple's App Analytics.
