Effective: October 13, 2026 - Rev 1.4
This Privacy Policy explains how Foundry Pixel ("Foundry Pixel," "we," "us," or "our") processes information when you use TagBridge (the "App"). TagBridge is an on-device photo metadata management app. We do not upload or store your photo library on our servers during normal use of the App.
This Privacy Policy applies to information processed in connection with your use of the App, the TagBridge legal website, and any related support communications.
TagBridge reads photos and associated metadata from your device's photo library so it can detect faces, read text, identify likely sources, group trips using GPS coordinates already embedded in photos, and help you organize your media. This processing happens on your device. We do not receive your photos on Foundry Pixel servers.
The App stores information locally on your device, including tags, people labels, face groupings, OCR text indexes, trip groupings, rules, templates, destination settings, sync history, backup metadata, and related preferences. This data remains on your device unless you delete it, reset the App, uninstall the App, or export or back it up yourself.
TagBridge detects and recognizes faces using bundled open-source AI models that run entirely on your device via the TensorFlow Lite runtime; no face processing happens in the cloud. Face-related data stored locally on your device may include detected face regions, landmark positions, and numerical face signatures (embeddings) used to group likely matches of the same person. Google ML Kit is used on-device for text recognition (OCR) and as a fallback face detector; OCR text extracted from your photos is stored locally so you can search it. ML Kit is an on-device SDK, not a cloud photo-processing service for this App. Google may receive anonymous ML Kit usage or performance metrics, such as model load times or API call counts, but not your photos, face data, or personal information through this feature. All face signatures and OCR text remain on your device and are included only in backups you create.
When you back photos up to a place you set up yourself (for example your own computer or NAS, or a WebDAV, PhotoPrism or Immich server), TagBridge can write the labels and the names of the people you have named into each photo's metadata and into a small .xmp file next to it, so your other photo apps can read them. This happens only for the places you set up, and only for the photos sent there.
If you set up a backup place, such as a network share (SMB), WebDAV (including Nextcloud, ownCloud and pCloud), Google Drive, Google Photos, PhotoPrism, Immich, or a folder or USB drive, the App stores related credentials, tokens, or connection settings locally on your device using secure platform storage where available. When you initiate a transfer or backup, the App connects directly to the destination you selected. We do not proxy those transfers through Foundry Pixel servers.
TagBridge's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. For Google Drive, TagBridge asks only for access to the files it creates; for Google Photos, only to add photos and albums to your library. It does not read your other Google Drive files or your Google Photos library.
TagBridge offers a 30-day free trial plus optional monthly, annual, and lifetime paid access. Billing and entitlement management are handled through Apple, Google, and RevenueCat. We do not receive your full payment card number. We and our service providers may process subscription status, entitlement status, purchase receipts, storefront information, transaction metadata, and anonymous subscription identifiers needed to validate purchases, restore access, prevent fraud, and provide support.
If you contact us for support, we may process your name, email address, message contents, screenshots, attachments, diagnostic details, and any other information you choose to provide.
If you use Send feedback in the App, your own email app sends us the words you type, any voice note you record, and your phone model, Android version and App version. Nothing is sent until you tap Send in your email app. TagBridge uses the microphone only while you record a voice note.
The App is designed to avoid sending your photo library to Foundry Pixel servers during normal use. However, our website and our service providers may process limited technical information such as IP address, device or app identifiers, request metadata, OAuth-related information, purchase diagnostics, and similar security or troubleshooting data when you visit the website, manage purchases, authenticate with Google Drive, or contact support.
We do not currently use third-party advertising SDKs in the App. If that changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
If you choose to back up only on your home network and tap "Use Current Network", Android requires location permission before it shows an app the name of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. TagBridge uses that permission only to read the network's name, which it keeps on your device and checks before a backup. TagBridge does not record, keep or send your location.
We use information to:
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We may disclose information to:
Tags, people labels, OCR data, trips, destination settings, and similar App data remain on your device until you delete them, reset the App, uninstall the App, or replace them with new data. If you create backups, those backups may continue to contain the same data until you delete them from their storage location.
Credentials and tokens for transfer destinations remain on your device until you remove the destination, reset the App, or uninstall the App.
Apple, Google, RevenueCat, and related providers may retain purchase and subscription records in accordance with their own legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, and operational requirements.
If you contact us, we may retain those communications for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with law.
Depending on how you use TagBridge, you may be able to:
Depending on where you live, you may also have legal rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, portability of, or restrictions on certain personal information, subject to legal exceptions. Requests relating specifically to Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Google Drive, or other destination-provider records may also need to be directed to the relevant provider.
This explains how to delete data connected to TagBridge, the photo app published by Foundry Pixel on Google Play. TagBridge has no accounts, so there is no account to close.
Data on your phone. Your tags, people names, face groups, text-search data, albums, backup places, and settings are kept only on your phone. To delete all of it, uninstall TagBridge. (TagBridge's Settings also has Clear All Data and Reset App.) Copies you backed up to your own NAS, Google Drive, or Google Photos stay there until you delete them in that place.
Data we hold. To ask us to delete it, email support@foundrypixel.com with the subject "Delete my data", from the email address you used to contact us. What we hold, and what happens to it:
TagBridge is a general-audience utility app for personal photo management and is not directed to children under 16. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should use the App only with parent or guardian supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information through the App from anyone under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has provided us personal information through support or purchase channels, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to investigate and address the issue.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where our service providers operate. Where required by law, we will take appropriate steps to protect personal information transferred across borders.
If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.
In the preceding 12 months, depending on how you use the App and website, we may have collected or processed the following categories of personal information:
We collect this information from you, your device, Apple, Google, RevenueCat, and our service providers. We use and disclose this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If TagBridge crashes or freezes, an anonymous technical report (device model, operating system version, app version, and the technical stack trace of the failure) is sent automatically via Firebase Crashlytics so we can fix the problem. These reports never include your photos, tags, people names, or any personal content. Crash reports are used solely for fixing defects.
