We collect very little data, keep it anonymous when possible, and give you control over your privacy. Your data is yours.
Our Privacy Philosophy
At Pixelfolio Inc., we believe your personal information should stay personal. We actively design our apps to collect as little information as possible while still providing you with great experiences.
Our core principles:
- Local first - Your data stays on your device whenever possible
- Anonymous only - We only track feature usage with anonymous identifiers that cannot identify you
- Your control - Easy opt-out options available in all our apps
- Transparent - Clear about what little we collect and why
This policy covers all Pixelfolio apps: Bulletin, Globetrotter, Moderation, TextCraft, Vinyls, Veil, and Orbit.
