Live Photo Player: privacy policy

Last updated 8 November 2026

Live Photo Player is an Android app by Samix Technology (Evan Barke, entrepreneur individuel (EI), 6 rue Jean-Philippe Rameau, 66750 Saint-Cyprien, France) that plays iPhone Live Photos and saves them as videos. This page explains what data it handles.

Your photos and videos stay on your phone

The app opens only the files you pick or share to it (or open from your own Immich server, below), and processes them on your device. Saved videos go to your phone's Movies folder. The app has no server of ours: no photo, video or file is ever uploaded by it, and we have no account system.

Open from Immich (optional)

If you choose to sign in to your own Immich photo server, the app sends your server address, email and password (or API key) only to that server, and downloads from it only the Live Photos you open. It keeps the server address and the sign-in token on your phone, in storage no other app can read, until you sign out. Nothing of this reaches us.

Ads (free version)

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Before any ad is requested, Google's consent form asks people in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland for their choice, which you can change at any time with the privacy button in the app. To serve, measure and limit ads, and to prevent fraud, Google and its ad partners may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location, device and app information and how you interact with ads; with your consent, ads may be personalised. Google acts as an independent controller for this data: see how Google uses information from apps that use its services and the list of Google's ad partners. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android's settings (Privacy, Ads).

Purchases

The one-time unlock (no ads, no watermark, batch export) is sold through Google Play. Google handles the payment under the Google Payments privacy notice; the app only receives from Google whether you own the unlock, and keeps that answer on your phone. We never see your card or payment details.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.

Your rights and contact

Under the GDPR you may ask us about any personal data we hold (in practice, none: the app sends us nothing). For data held by Google, use Google's own tools above. Questions: evan@samix-technology.com. You may also complain to the CNIL (cnil.fr).
