Holden.digital takes your privacy very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and obey all laws and regulations.
No personally identifiable information including your photographs is communicated to any external server.
The app, which runs on MacOS, iOS and iPadOS, reads your personal photos, albums and folders within Apple’s Photos app, folders, and/or Google Photos account. It then writes an albumdrop file to your Apple iCloud and/or Google Drive accounts. It makes no other use of your precious photos. No user identifiable data is collected or used by the application aside from what is required to do its job. The app relies on Apple’s system login security for platform security and Apple Photos permission request for access to the Photo Library. The narrowest scopes available from both Google Drive and Google Photos are used. The app requires no separate account or login information. The Apple App store manages your payment for the app and future updates of the app. The app never communicates to an external website or server for any purpose.
The web app that is used for moving an albumdrop folder to and from Google Photos is specifically designed for privacy. This web app is delivered by the albumdrop.holden.digital website. This website never sees the contents of your albumdrop file as this is 100% processed in your browser. The authentication between your browser and Google runs in a separate browser window and was designed by Google to keep your login information safe. The web app has no access to this information. Since this web app is free, no account or login information of its own is needed. No personally identifiable information including your photographs is communicated to any eternal website or server. The website hosting company keeps its own server logs of IP addresses and request types, which are available to holden.digital, but these are not personally identifiable.
