Privacy Policy
Andrew Nicolle is a strong believer in a user’s privacy. No personal information is collected by Orchid Album. Whatever data you enter into Orchid Album is kept locally on your own iOS device. Andrew Nicolle has no access to your data or any personal information unless you explicitly choose to share that information via email for the purpose of support. In such a case, only a single developer will ever see the shared data and information, and only in order to provide the requested support.

Orchid Album may request access to your calendar and photo library. This is necessary to support the functionality provided by the app per user request. Your data is neither shared nor collected outside of Orchid Album, unless you explicitly share your data outside the app.

If you enable iCloud backups on your device, your data will be stored in your iCloud account. The app itself does not store data in any cloud services, except when you explicitly share your data with such services.

Orchid Album allows you to share your data through various means, including with the PC and Mac versions of the app over WiFi, to other computers, via email, or through other third-party services. This shared data is not encrypted.
