Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026 · App: ScreenSort (Android) · Developer: JoZarqa

Summary

ScreenSort organizes and searches your screenshots on your device. Your screenshots, the text recognized in them, your searches, albums and favorites are processed and stored only on your phone. We do not run servers, we have no user accounts, and we never receive your images or their text.

Photos permission

The app asks for Android’s photos permission (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, or limited “selected photos” access on Android 14+) to list screenshots, show thumbnails, compute file fingerprints for duplicate detection, and read text in images. You can allow only selected photos and change or revoke access at any time in Android settings.

Data stored on your device

• Metadata of accessible screenshots (file name, date, size, dimensions) and a SHA-256 fingerprint of each file.
• Text recognized in screenshots and a normalized copy for search.
• Categories, albums, favorites, recent searches and app settings.

This data stays in the app’s private storage. You can delete the text index or all app data from Settings → Privacy Center; this never deletes your original photos. Uninstalling the app also removes it.

Third-party services

Google AdMob shows ads in the app. AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform may collect and share device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), IP address, approximate location derived from it, app interactions and diagnostics to serve, measure and limit ads, according to the consent choices you make where required by law. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Google ML Kit performs text recognition entirely on your device. Google states that ML Kit may send anonymous usage and performance metrics (for example, API latency) to Google; images and recognized text are not sent.

ScreenSort does not include analytics or crash-reporting SDKs in version 1.0.

Deleting screenshots

The app never deletes anything on its own. Deletion happens only after you select items, review a summary and approve Android’s system confirmation. On Android 11 and newer, items are moved to the system trash, where Android keeps them for about 30 days.

Children

ScreenSort is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes and contact

We will update this page if the app’s data practices change. Questions: idresalalaree@gmail.com.
