What the app can access, and why

Your screenshots (Photos)

Pixjar organizes the screenshots on your phone, so it asks to read your photos. It works on your Screenshots folder, and on other image folders only if you turn them on (Settings → New screenshots → Where I look, for example Downloads or WhatsApp images). It doesn't show, read or send your other photos. On the phone it reads the words on each screenshot, makes a fingerprint to find duplicates, and checks how sharp it is. Those results, and the titles, summaries, notes and folders, are kept in the app's own storage on your phone.

On Android 14 and later you can share only some photos; Pixjar then works on those.

Deleting screenshots (Media management, Android 12 and later)

When you clear screenshots, Pixjar moves them to Android's trash after you confirm, where they stay for 30 days and can be restored. If you allow Media management, Pixjar's own confirmation is the only one you see; otherwise Android asks again. Nothing is ever deleted without your yes.

Microphone (voice search, optional)

Voice search uses your phone's own speech service, the same one your keyboard uses. Pixjar receives only the words it heard, to search with; it never receives or keeps the sound.

Notifications (optional)

For the reading progress, "Your library is ready", tidy-up reminders and the weekly auto-clear question, if you turn them on.

What leaves your phone

Cloud AI (only if you turn it on)

When you choose cloud AI in onboarding or Settings, Pixjar sends each screenshot it summarizes to Google's Gemini, through Google's Firebase. With it go the words read on the screenshot, your folder names and descriptions (so it can be matched to your folders), today's date and your summary language. What comes back (a title, a summary, a category, keywords, the folders it fits, a cleanup suggestion, an expiry date and links on it) is stored on your phone.

• Pixjar uses Google's paid service, under which your screenshots aren't used to train or improve Google's models. Google may keep requests for a limited time only to detect abuse, as its terms describe.
• Requests are sent encrypted, with no name, email or account attached.
• Turn cloud AI off at any time in Settings → AI processing. Pixjar then sends no screenshots; summaries you already have stay on your phone, and Delete all summaries removes them.

Proof that requests come from the real app

With each cloud AI request and each feedback message, Pixjar includes a token from Google Play (Play Integrity, through Firebase App Check) that shows the request comes from the genuine app. It isn't linked to you or your phone.

The app's settings

When it starts, Pixjar asks Firebase for its current settings, such as the free plan's limits and which AI model writes summaries, so they can change without an app update. The request carries a random identifier for this installation and nothing about you or your screenshots.

The text reader

Pixjar reads the words on screenshots on your phone with Google's ML Kit; the screenshots and their words aren't sent for that. ML Kit sends Google anonymous diagnostics: your phone model and Android version, the app version, how long reading took, image sizes and error codes, with a random identifier for this installation. If Google Play services can't provide the reader, Pixjar downloads its own copy from Google Play.

Crash reports and anonymous counts

To fix crashes and see which features people use, Pixjar sends crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) and about ten anonymous counts (Google Analytics for Firebase): onboarding steps, the Premium page seen and a purchase made, a folder made, a cleanup done. Firebase adds a random identifier for this installation, your phone model and Android version, a country or city estimated from your internet connection, and Google Play purchase events. Never anything about what's on your screenshots, never your Advertising ID. Switch them off in Settings.

Feedback you send

When you send feedback or report a wrong summary, Pixjar sends what you wrote, its type and when you wrote it, and, if you leave the switch on, the app version, phone model and Android version. A report about a summary from a screenshot's page also includes that summary (its title, text and category, and which AI model wrote it) so we can see what went wrong; never the screenshot. Messages are stored in Google's Cloud Firestore (part of Firebase), where only we can read them. They're kept so we can read them and improve Pixjar; ask us to delete yours at any time.

Purchases

Premium is sold through Google Play. Payment is handled by Google; Pixjar never sees your card or address. The app asks Google Play whether you have Premium and remembers the answer on your phone so it works offline.

What Pixjar doesn't do

• No accounts, no sign-in, no email collected by the app.
• No ads and no advertising identifiers.
• No selling or sharing of your data with data brokers, and no tracking across other apps or websites.
• No access to your contacts, calendar, location, camera or files. Add to calendar opens your calendar app with the details filled in; Pixjar doesn't read your calendar.

Keeping and deleting data

Everything Pixjar makes about your screenshots lives on your phone, except a summary you report as wrong, which goes with your report. Settings → AI processing → Delete all summaries removes the summaries; uninstalling removes everything the app stored. Crash reports and counts are tied only to a random installation identifier, and Firebase deletes them after its retention period. For feedback you sent, write to us and we delete it. Purchases stay with your Google account.

The website and the beta waitlist

If you join the beta on pixjar.app, we keep your email, when and where you joined, and when we emailed you, in a Google Sheet only we can see. We use it to invite you to the beta and to tell you when Pixjar launches, nothing else. Ask us and we remove it.

Children

Pixjar is made for adults and isn't directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If it changes, the new version appears here with a new date. Changes to what leaves your phone are also mentioned in the app's release notes.
