MediaShoot Privacy Policy

Effective: October 7, 2026 · Applies to the MediaShoot Android app and the MediaShoot Windows app · Publisher: Signalsop

MediaShoot copies the photos on your phone to your own Windows computer. Your photos go from your phone to your computer and nowhere else. We do not run servers that receive, store, or see your photos.

What the app accesses

• Photos on your phone (permission "Photos and videos"): used only to find new photos and send them to the computer you paired. Photos are read when they are uploaded and are not copied anywhere else.
• Network state and local network: to find and reach your computer, and to tell you when it is not reachable.
• Notifications: to show sync status and "ready to delete" prompts.
• Start at boot and background activity: to keep syncing after a restart.

Where your data goes

• Photos are sent directly to your own computer over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. The phone verifies your computer's certificate before sending.
• Photos are saved in a normal folder on your computer. You choose the folder. We have no access to it.
• Pairing information (your computer's address, a certificate fingerprint, and a device token) is stored on your phone and on your computer.
• Optional remote access: if you turn it on, the Windows app may ask your router (UPnP) to open a port so your phone can reach your computer away from home. The connection is still directly between your phone and your computer, with no relay server run by us.

What we collect

Nothing. The current version has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. We do not sell or share personal data, and we do not receive your photos, file names, or device identifiers.

Deleting photos from your phone

Deleting photos from your phone is off by default. If you turn it on, MediaShoot only offers to delete a photo after your computer has confirmed it received an identical copy, and Android asks you to confirm each deletion batch.

Purchases

If paid features are added, purchases are processed by Google Play. We do not see or store your payment details.

Retention and your control

• You control your photos: they are on your phone and your computer. To remove them, delete them there.
• Remove a paired phone from the Windows app's tray menu, or unpair in the Android app, to stop syncing.
• Uninstalling the apps stops all activity. The Windows uninstaller leaves your photos, settings, and certificate in place so you do not lose data. Delete the %APPDATA%\PhotosUploader folder to remove them.

Children

MediaShoot is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we add features that change how data is handled (for example optional cloud storage, accounts, or diagnostics), we will update this policy and the app before those features are released, and any such feature will be clearly explained in the app.
