Privacy Policy

How Keeps collects, stores, protects, and uses account, photo, sticker, social, notification, purchase, and support information.

Effective date: August 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Keeps collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use the Keeps mobile application ("Keeps," the "App," or the "Service").

Keeps is a creative photo journal for capturing stamp-framed photos and cutout stickers, organizing them into collections, calendar views, and scrapbook projects, sharing public stamps with friends, chatting, receiving optional notifications, and using customizable home screen widgets.

Legal review note: This document is a detailed product-specific draft based on the current Keeps app behavior. It is not legal advice. Before publishing, Nosiah Studio should have it reviewed for the jurisdictions where the App will be offered and should keep App Store privacy labels and Google Play Data Safety answers consistent with it.

1. Who We Are

Keeps is provided by:

References to "we," "us," and "our" mean Nosiah Studio. References to "you" and "your" mean the person using Keeps.

2. Summary

Keeps collects and uses information to provide a cloud-based photo stamp, collection, social, chat, widget, and subscription experience.

In practical terms:

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Account and Authentication Information

When you sign in, Keeps may receive or process account information from Apple, Google, an email-and-password sign-in option, or Supabase authentication, including:

Apple or Google may process additional information according to their own privacy policies when you use their sign-in services.

3.2 Profile Information

You may create or update profile information, including:

Profile avatars are stored in Supabase Storage in the profile-avatars bucket. The current storage policy allows profile avatar files to be publicly readable so avatars can be shown in profile, friend, feed, and chat features.

3.3 Stamp Photos and Stamp Metadata

When you capture, save, edit, view, or delete a stamp, Keeps may collect and store:

Stamp photos are stored in Supabase Storage in the stamps bucket. Private stamp files are intended to be accessible only to your account. Public stamp files may be visible to other authenticated users or to friends through social features depending on App behavior and database access rules.

3.4 Camera and On-Device Photo Processing

Keeps uses your device camera to capture photos when you choose to take a stamp photo.

The App may process captured photos on your device to crop, frame, style, identify a subject, create a cutout sticker, and prepare the final image before upload. Sticker cutout features may use native operating-system image-processing APIs. This processing may temporarily use device memory, temporary files, app cache, or operating system cache.

Keeps is designed to store stamp photos in cloud Supabase storage rather than maintaining a permanent local stamp file library in the App. However, your device, operating system, image cache, home screen widgets, or app cache may temporarily retain image data for normal performance and display behavior.

3.5 Captions, Visibility, and Saved Stamp Edits

Keeps may store:

Captions may be visible to other users when a stamp is public or when a caption is included in a message or stamp reply.

3.6 Collections and Calendar Features

Keeps may store data used to organize stamps, including:

3.7 Scrapbook/Page Projects

If you use project or page studio features, Keeps may store:

Project canvas data may include layout information, item positions, text content, selected stamps, and other information needed to restore and display a project.

3.8 Friends and Social Relationships

Keeps may collect and store:

Friendship features are used to control who can chat, send stamp replies, and see certain friend-related views. You may remove an accepted friend where the unfriend control is available.

3.9 Messages, Reactions, and Stamp Replies

If you use chat, reactions, or stamp reply features, Keeps may collect and store:

Messages are intended to be visible to the sender and receiver. Stamp replies are intended to be limited to visible public friend stamps. Chat messages may continue to appear in the other participant's conversation after you delete your account or content unless deletion is legally required or technically implemented for both participants.

Keeps may let users download a shared stamp image to their device or open a report email containing references needed to identify reported content. A report may include the reported stamp ID, owner information, reporter information, and details the reporter chooses to provide.

3.10 Subscription and Purchase Information

Keeps may collect and store subscription status information, including:

Apple App Store or Google Play processes payments. Keeps does not receive or store your full payment card number, full billing address, bank account details, or app store password.

3.11 Home Screen Widget Information

If you customize, add, or use Keeps home screen widgets, Keeps may save limited configuration data locally on your device and share it with the operating-system widget extension, including:

Widget configuration is designed to remain local to the device. A selected stamp image may first be retrieved from Supabase and then cached locally so the widget can display it. Widget content may be visible to anyone who can see your device home screen.

3.12 Device Permissions and Device Information

Keeps may request or use:

The current app code does not show intentional collection of precise location, contacts, microphone audio, health data, SMS, call logs, or advertising identifiers.

3.13 Onboarding and Local Preferences

Keeps may store limited local preference data on your device, such as whether onboarding has already been completed. This is used to avoid showing onboarding repeatedly.

This local preference data is not intended to be a permanent local copy of your cloud stamp library.

3.14 Diagnostics and Technical Information

Keeps uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to process limited technical and usage information needed to operate, maintain, debug, and improve the App, such as:

Keeps does not intentionally add stamp photos, captions, chat or reply content, email addresses, display names, authentication tokens, precise location, or payment details to custom analytics events or Crashlytics metadata.

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics collection is enabled in production releases. Development builds keep collection disabled by default unless a developer explicitly enables it for verification.

Keeps does not request or intentionally collect precise GPS location. Approximate analytics location is used to understand broad regional usage rather than a user's exact position.

3.15 Push Notification Information

Keeps uses Firebase Cloud Messaging together with Apple Push Notification service or Google Play services to deliver notifications when you allow them.

Push-notification information may include:

Keeps may send notifications for new chat messages, friend requests, accepted friend requests, and system announcements. Registered tokens are stored in Supabase and may be subscribed to a Firebase topic used for authenticated-user announcements.

Notification permission is optional. You can change it in device settings. Keeps attempts to unregister the current token when you sign out and removes invalid tokens when delivery providers report them as unusable. Service providers may retain delivery and diagnostic records according to their own policies.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to:

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where a legal basis is required, we process information based on one or more of the following:

You may withdraw consent for camera, photo-library, storage, or notification permissions through your operating system settings, but some features may stop working.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal and sensitive user data.

We may share information as described below.

6.1 With Service Providers

We use service providers to operate Keeps, including:

These providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies and, where applicable, on our behalf to provide the Service.

6.2 With Other Keeps Users

Information may be visible to other users when:

6.3 For Legal, Safety, and Business Reasons

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

7. Public Information and Visibility Choices

Some information may become visible to other users depending on your choices and App features.

Public or social information may include:

Private stamps are intended to be visible only to your account and permitted service operations. However, if you change content from public to private, other users may already have seen, downloaded, cached, copied, screenshotted, or received related content.

You should not make content public or send content in chat if you do not want another person to see it.

8. Data Storage and Security

Keeps uses Supabase for cloud database and storage functionality. The current Supabase schema uses row-level security and authenticated access controls so users can access their own data and permitted public or friend data.

Security measures may include:

No method of transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide Keeps, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce agreements, and support billing or accounting records.

General retention approach:

10. Account Deletion and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account through the App where available or by contacting us at nosiahstudio@gmail.com.

When your account is deleted, we will delete or de-identify data associated with your account, subject to:

Deleting your Keeps account does not automatically cancel an active App Store or Google Play subscription. You must cancel subscriptions through the relevant app store account settings.

11. Your Choices and Controls

You can:

12. Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

To exercise privacy rights, contact us at nosiahstudio@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

13. International Processing

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than where you live, including countries where Nosiah Studio or its service providers operate. Those countries may have data protection laws different from your country.

By using Keeps, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in other countries as needed to provide the Service.

14. Children's Privacy

Keeps is not intended for children under 13, or the minimum age required by law in your location.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Keeps, contact us at nosiahstudio@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action.

15. Sensitive Content

Keeps may allow users to create photos, captions, messages, and other content. You should avoid uploading or sharing sensitive personal information unless necessary.

Do not upload or share:

16. No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell personal and sensitive user data for money.

We do not display third-party advertising. Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are used for app measurement and reliability, and Firebase Cloud Messaging is used for notification delivery. These services are not used by Keeps to sell personal data or intentionally collect photo, caption, or message content for advertising. Advertising-ID collection is disabled on Android and ad-personalization signals are disabled by default. If these practices change, this policy and app store disclosures will be updated before the changed collection begins.

17. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Keeps depends on third-party services. You should also review their privacy policies:

Nosiah Studio does not control all privacy practices of these third parties.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as through the App or by updating the effective date.

Your continued use of Keeps after an update means the updated policy applies.
