U-Gallery ("the app") is an Android gallery and file manager developed by Mako Co. This policy explains what data the app accesses and how it is handled.
U-Gallery does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything the app does happens on your device.
U-Gallery requests the following Android permissions solely to provide gallery and file-manager functionality:
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES | Read photos on your device so you can browse them. |
READ_MEDIA_VIDEO | Read videos on your device so you can browse and open them. |
MANAGE_MEDIA | Perform delete, move, and copy operations on your media without a prompt for every file. |
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | Browse folders outside the standard media locations and perform file operations (move, copy, rename, delete) across arbitrary directories. |
SET_WALLPAPER | Set a selected image as the device wallpaper when you use the "Set as wallpaper" action. |
You can revoke any of these permissions at any time in Android Settings. Revoking them may disable the corresponding features.
U-Gallery stores a small amount of information locally on your device to remember your preferences and organization:
This data is stored in the app's private storage (a local Room database and SharedPreferences). It is not accessible to other apps and is never transmitted off the device. Uninstalling the app removes this data.
When you open a video and choose an external player via the system chooser, Android passes a URI for that video to the player you selected. U-Gallery has no control over how that third-party app handles the file; please consult that app's privacy policy.
U-Gallery does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published in the app's repository with a new "Last updated" date.
