Framefold

Privacy policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Framefold is a photo and video gallery for Android from Anom, the app studio of Zest Plate LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Framefold.

No account, no personal data from you

• You don't need an account to use Framefold, and we don't ask for your name, email address or any other personal details.
• Framefold itself includes no analytics. The only data that leaves your phone is what the ads use, described below.

Your photos and videos stay on your phone

• Framefold reads the list of photos and videos that Android keeps on your phone (file names, dates, sizes, dimensions, video lengths and folders) and their thumbnails, to show your gallery. This happens on your phone, and nothing is uploaded.
• Framefold never sends your photos or videos anywhere. When you share a photo, it goes only to the app you choose in Android's share menu.
• Your favorites and settings are stored only in Framefold's private storage on your phone. Framefold does not include them in cloud backups or phone-to-phone transfers.

Ads

Framefold is free and shows ads from Google AdMob, Google's advertising service: a banner under your photos and an occasional full-screen ad when you close a photo.

• To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in Framefold collects and sends to Google: your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers (such as the app set ID), your IP address (from which an approximate location can be worked out), information about the ads you see and tap, and technical and diagnostic information about your phone and the app (for example the model, Android version, crash reports and performance data).
• The ads never see your photos, videos or albums. That content stays on your phone.
• Google may use this information to show personalised ads where the law allows it and you agree, and non-personalised ads otherwise. How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• We (Zest Plate LLC) don't receive personal data from the ads. We only see totals, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned.
• Ads in Framefold are limited to content suitable for general audiences.

Your ad choices

• In the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and US states with privacy laws, Framefold asks for your choice with Google's consent form the first time you open it. You can change it at any time in Settings > Privacy choices.
• Anywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off ad personalisation, in your phone's Settings > Google > Ads (on some phones, Settings > Privacy > Ads).

Permissions

• Photos and videos (on Android 13 and newer) or storage (on older versions): to show the photos and videos on your phone. On Android 14 and newer you can allow only the photos you pick.
• Changing or deleting your photos: only when you ask. On Android 11 and newer, Android itself asks you to confirm each move to the bin, restore or deletion. On Android 10 and older, Framefold asks for storage access the first time you delete, and asks you to confirm before deleting.
• Internet, network state and advertising ID: used only by the ads.

Files from other apps

When you open a photo or video from another app with Open with, Framefold shows it from that app without keeping a copy.

Deleting your data

Remove a favorite by tapping its heart again. Uninstalling Framefold deletes your favorites and settings. Uninstalling never deletes your photos or videos.

Children

Framefold is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
