Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Bokeria Studio ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the HEIC JPG Converter mobile application (the "App"). The App converts HEIC/HEIF images on your device into JPG files. We do not upload your selected photos or converted images to our servers.

1. Information the App Accesses or Processes

Photos, images, and media metadata

The App requests access to photos and media files so that it can find HEIC or HEIF images on your device, show them in the in-app gallery, let you select images, and convert selected images to JPG files.

Depending on your Android version and permission choices, the App may request or use permissions such as READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION. These permissions are used for the App's image selection and conversion features.

Image browsing and conversion are performed locally on your device. The App may read file information such as image URI, file size, width, height, folder name, and image metadata needed to display, sort, validate, and convert HEIC images.

EXIF metadata and location metadata

When converting an image, the App may copy selected EXIF metadata from the original HEIC/HEIF image to the converted JPG file. This can include date and time, camera make/model, orientation, exposure information, and GPS location metadata if that metadata exists in the source image and your device grants access to original media location metadata.

Converted JPG files are saved to your device's Pictures folder. If you share a converted JPG with another app or person, the copied metadata may be included in that shared file. Please remove metadata before sharing if you do not want it to be included.

Local app settings

The App stores a small amount of local settings data on your device, such as the review prompt counter and the expiration time for a rewarded-ad multi-select unlock. This information is stored locally and is used to operate App features.

Diagnostics and analytics

The App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. These services may collect app usage, device, app version, crash, performance, and diagnostic information to help us understand reliability issues and improve the App. We do not intentionally include your photos or converted images in crash reports.

Advertising data

The App uses Google AdMob to show banner ads and rewarded interstitial ads. Google may process information such as ad requests, ad impressions, ad clicks, device information, approximate location, and identifiers as described in Google's policies. The App's release manifest removes the Android Advertising ID permission (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID), and the App does not directly call the Android Advertising ID API.

Ad requests are configured with child-directed treatment, under-age-of-consent treatment, and a maximum ad content rating of G.

Information you send to us

If you contact us by email or through another support channel, we may process your email address, message content, and any information you choose to provide so that we can respond to your request.

2. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

To provide image browsing, HEIC/HEIF validation, JPG conversion, saving, and sharing features.
To preserve selected image metadata in converted JPG files when supported and permitted.
To show ads and provide rewarded-ad based multi-select unlocks.
To understand app usage, diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve performance.
To respond to support requests and comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. When Information Is Shared

We do not sell your photos, converted images, or personal information. We do not upload selected HEIC/HEIF files or converted JPG files to our servers.

Information may be shared or processed in these situations:

With Google service providers: Firebase, Google AdMob, Google Play services, and Google Play in-app review may process data as described in their own policies.
When you choose to share a file: If you tap the share button, Android opens a share sheet and the selected JPG file is provided to the app or service you choose.
For legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, security, and the integrity of the App.

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may process information under their own terms and privacy policies:

5. Data Retention

Photos and converted files remain on your device unless you delete them or share them with another app or service.
Local app settings remain on your device until they expire, are replaced, or you clear the App's data or uninstall the App.
Crash, analytics, advertising, and Google Play data are retained by Google according to Google's applicable policies and settings.
Support emails are retained only as long as needed to respond to your request and maintain appropriate records.

6. Your Choices and Controls

You can grant, deny, or revoke photo permissions in Android system settings.
On supported Android versions, you can choose full photo access or selected-photo access.
You can delete converted JPG files from your device's Pictures folder.
You can clear local App data or uninstall the App to remove local settings.
You can manage Google ad personalization through your Google and Android settings.

If you deny photo access, the App may not be able to find and convert HEIC images from your device library.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed through the App. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure. Please take care when sharing converted images, especially if they may contain EXIF or location metadata.

8. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect contact information from children. The App's ad requests are configured for child-directed and under-age-of-consent treatment and a maximum ad content rating of G. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through a support request, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

9. International Processing

Third-party services used by the App, including Google services, may process information on servers located in countries other than your country of residence. These services process information according to their applicable terms, policies, and legal safeguards.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after an update means that you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
