Introduction
At Glide, we believe in minimal data collection and maximum transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our decluttering and memory preservation app. We designed Glide to respect your privacy while providing meaningful assistance with sentimental downsizing.
Core Privacy Principle: You can use Glide's essential features without creating an account or providing personal information. We only access data necessary for functionality you explicitly enable.
Information We Collect
Glide operates with a privacy-first approach. We collect minimal information, categorized as follows:
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| App Content Photos, voice notes, text descriptions |
Creating digital keepsakes and memory preservation | Local device storage (default) Optional cloud backup |
| Usage Data Anonymous interaction metrics |
Improving app functionality and user experience | Aggregated & anonymized |
| Device Information Basic device type, OS version |
Ensuring compatibility and performance | Anonymous identifiers only |
| Permissions Data Camera, microphone, photo library access |
Enabling memory capture features (with your consent) | Permission logs (optional) |
Camera Access
Only used when you take photos of items for digital keepsakes. Can be disabled in device settings.
Microphone Access
Only used for recording voice notes about your memories. Requires explicit permission each session.
Photo Library
Only accessed when you choose existing photos for your digital keepsakes.
AI & Data Processing
Glide uses artificial intelligence to enhance your decluttering experience while protecting your privacy:
On-Device Processing
Most AI features (like image recognition and voice transcription) happen directly on your device. Your sensitive data never leaves your device unless you choose to back it up.
Anonymous Analysis
When cloud processing is necessary for complex AI tasks, we use anonymized data that cannot be traced back to you personally.
Encrypted Transmission
Any data sent to our servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3 encryption protocols.
Data Minimization
AI models are designed to extract only necessary information (like object categories) without storing complete images or recordings.
Your Control & Rights
You maintain complete control over your data in Glide:
- Access & Export: View and export all your keepsake data at any time through the app's settings
- Deletion: Permanently delete specific keepsakes or all app data with one tap
- Permissions: Modify camera, microphone, or photo library access through your device settings
- Opt-Out: Disable AI features or data collection for analytics at any time
- No Tracking: We do not use cross-app tracking or sell your data to advertisers
Local-Only Mode: You can use Glide entirely offline with all data stored locally on your device. Internet connectivity is only required for optional cloud backup and advanced AI features.
Third-Party Services
Glide uses limited third-party services to ensure functionality:
- Cloud Storage Providers: Optional encrypted backup services (clearly labeled in-app)
- Analytics Services: Anonymous usage data to improve app performance
- AI Service Providers: For complex processing tasks (using anonymized data only)
All third-party services are bound by strict data protection agreements and cannot use your information for their own purposes.
Children's Privacy
Glide is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
