Overview
Collage Maker : Pics Grid does not require you to create an account. The photos, text, stickers, layouts, and collage projects you choose to create are primarily processed and stored locally on your device.
The app may use Apple system permissions, local device storage, network downloads for optional sticker content, and third-party advertising services from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and process data as described below.
Information You Provide or Allow
- Photos and images: The app asks for access to photos only so you can add images to a collage, import images from the iOS share sheet, view collages saved by the app, or save finished collages to your photo library.
- Collage content: Projects can include selected images, layout choices, edits, filters, text overlays, stickers, background settings, and thumbnails.
- Face positioning data: The app may use on-device face detection to help center subjects in selected photos. This processing is performed on your device and is used for collage layout behavior.
- Advertising choices: Where required, the app may ask for consent before showing personalized ads or using tracking identifiers for advertising.
How the App Uses Information
- To let you select, edit, arrange, preview, export, and save Collage Maker : Pics Grids.
- To save your projects and thumbnails locally so you can reopen them later.
- To import photos that you intentionally send to Collage Maker : Pics Grid through the iOS share extension.
- To download optional sticker pack information and sticker assets when you choose to browse or install remote packs.
- To display, measure, limit, and improve ads shown through Google AdMob.
Local Storage and Photo Library Access
Collage Maker : Pics Grid stores project files, thumbnails, imported images, downloaded stickers, and app preferences in the app's local storage areas on your device, including app support storage and shared app-group storage used by the share extension.
Images imported from the share extension may be temporarily placed in shared app storage so the main app can receive them. Old shared import batches may be cleaned up automatically.
Finished collages are saved to your photo library only when you choose to export or save them. If you delete the app, iOS may remove the app's local data. Photos already saved to your photo library remain under your control in the Photos app.
Advertising and Google AdMob
Collage Maker : Pics Grid uses Google AdMob to show ads, such as app open ads, banner ads, and rewarded ads. Google and its partners may collect or receive information from the app and your device to provide ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
Depending on your device settings, consent choices, region, and the ad served, this information may include device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, app activity related to ads, diagnostic information, and interactions with ads.
If you allow tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, AdMob may use the device advertising identifier to help deliver personalized ads and measure advertising. If you decline tracking, the app can still show ads, but they may be less personalized.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google requires publishers using AdMob to obtain required consent for cookies or local storage and for the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for ads personalization where legally required.
You can learn more about how Google uses data from apps and sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Optional Sticker Downloads
The app may connect to Kinglet Apps servers to check for optional sticker packs and download sticker content you choose to install. These requests may include standard technical information such as IP address, device network information, request time, and files requested, as is typical for web server logs.
Data Sharing
Collage Maker : Pics Grid does not sell your photos or collage projects. Your collage content is not uploaded to Kinglet Apps servers by the core collage editor.
Data may be shared with service providers where needed to operate the app, including Google AdMob for advertising and ad measurement. Data may also be disclosed if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate misuse of the app.

Data Retention
Local projects, thumbnails, imported images, preferences, and downloaded stickers remain on your device until you delete them in the app, delete the app, or iOS removes the data. Ad-related data handled by Google is retained according to Google's policies and your Google advertising choices.
International Transfers
Third-party services used by the app, including Google AdMob, may process information on servers located in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from your jurisdiction.
