App Privacy Policy

The Reverse Video Search app for Android (the "app") is published by RM ECOM, sole proprietorship of Emile Moureau, 18 rue Goubet, 75019 Paris, France. RM ECOM is the controller of the personal data described here, within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Contact: emiledevcontact@gmail.com.

This policy covers the app as distributed on the Google Play, and the servers at reverse-video-search.com the app talks to. The website has its own privacy policy, and both are completed by the Terms of Service. Where this page and the website policy differ about the app, this page applies.

It does not cover the sites you open from a search result, nor Google, Yandex, Bing, OpenAI or Together AI acting under their own terms: each of them has its own privacy policy, which we do not control.

• The videos and pictures you pick stay on your phone. Frames are cut on the device.
• A free Google Lens search sends one frame from your phone directly to Google. Nothing goes through our servers.
• The Android app has no paid features today: it creates no account and sends nothing to our servers.
• There is no sign-in and no account.
• No advertising, no analytics SDK, no tracking across other apps or websites. We never sell or rent personal data.
• Account > Clear library erases everything the app keeps.

Frames are re-encoded as plain images on the phone before they are searched, which drops the metadata embedded in the original file (such as the GPS position). The app never uploads the video file itself, except the copy of a public post you asked it to import.

We do not collect, and the app does not ask for:

• your name, email address, phone number or postal address;
• your contacts, calendar, messages or browsing history;
• your precise or approximate location (the app has no location permission);
• your advertising identifier, or any device fingerprint;
• health, financial or other sensitive data. Payment details stay with Apple.

The app does not ask for location, contacts, Bluetooth, local network, tracking or notification permission. You can change any permission at any time in Settings > Apps > Reverse Video Search > Permissions.

When you tap a frame, the app opens Google Lens inside the app and uploads that one frame from your phone directly to Google, the same way Safari does. Our servers are not involved and no account is needed.

Google processes the image under its own terms and privacy policy. To keep you on the most private setting, the app tells Google that you reject optional cookies before the upload. Opening a result takes you to a third-party website, which applies its own policy.

Your library (videos, pictures, frames, search history, AI guesses), your theme choice and your data sharing choice are stored in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read. Like other app data, the library may be included in Android backups, according to your settings; those backups are protected by Google and by your device passcode.

Deleting an item in History removes it from the phone. Account > Clear library removes all of them. Uninstalling the app removes the library.

We rely on the providers below. Each receives only what its job needs. Providers acting for us (marked "processor") may not use the data for their own purposes.

We may also disclose data when a competent authority makes a valid legal demand, or to defend a legal claim. If the business is ever sold, the data would pass to the buyer under this same policy, and we would tell you in the app first.

The app keeps nothing on our servers. What is on your phone stays until you delete it.

Everything the app keeps is on your phone. Account > Clear library deletes it, and so does uninstalling the app.

All traffic between the app and our servers uses TLS. The account identifier is stored on the phone in Android secure storage and on our side only as a hash. Access to our database and storage is restricted to the operator of the service. No system is perfectly secure: if a breach is likely to put your rights at risk, we will notify the CNIL within 72 hours and tell you in the app where the law requires it.

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• tell you what we hold about you and give you a copy (access, portability);
• correct it (rectification) or delete it (erasure);
• restrict or object to processing based on our legitimate interest;
• withdraw consent to data sharing, in the app or by email, at any time.

Write to emiledevcontact@gmail.com. We answer within one month. If you are in the EU, you can also complain to your data protection authority; ours is the CNIL, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07 (cnil.fr).

The app collects no data, shares none with third parties for tracking, and needs no account.

The app is not directed at children and is not meant for anyone under 15. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child used a paid feature, write to us and we will delete the account.

The date at the top shows the version in force. Before a change that affects data the app already handles, or adds a new recipient, we will update this page and tell you in the app; where the change needs your consent, the app will ask for it again.

Any question about this policy or your data: emiledevcontact@gmail.com, or RM ECOM, 18 rue Goubet, 75019 Paris, France. In the app: Account > Contact support.
