Privacy Policy
Last updated 20 August 2026 · Cull (com.cull.gallery.photosorter.photo.organizer.pico.pickerry) · Published by Bract Studio
Cull reads your photos so you can sort them, and that is as far as they go. Your photos are never uploaded, never copied off your phone, and never seen by us.
Your photos
Your photos never leave your device. Cull reads your gallery only to show you photos to sort, and works on them in place on your phone. It does not upload them, back them up, or send them anywhere — there is no server for them to go to.
Photo files are opened for display and comparison while the app is running. Finding duplicates and blurry shots happens entirely on your phone. Nothing about your photos — not the images, not their contents, not their location data — is transmitted.
What we collect
Nothing.
- No account, sign-up, or login.
- No analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics.
- No crash reporting.
- No advertising, ad IDs, or third-party tracking SDKs.
- No profiling, and no automated decision-making about you.
We do not operate a server that receives your information. There is no Bract Studio account, no cloud sync, and no database anywhere holding your data.
What stays on your device
| What | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Your photos and videos | To show them to you for sorting | Device only, never uploaded |
| Which photos you archived | So you can review before deleting | Device only |
| Your app preferences | To remember how you set the app up | Device only |
Permissions, and what each one is for
- Photos and videos (
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES,READ_MEDIA_VIDEO) — the app cannot show you your gallery without this. It is used to read your photos so you can sort them, and for nothing else. - Selected photos only (
READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED) — on Android 14 and newer you can grant Cull access to only the photos you pick instead of your whole library. Cull supports that, and it is the most private way to use the app. - Storage (
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) — the older equivalents, used only on Android 12 and below where the media permissions above do not exist.
Cull does not request all-files access
(MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). It can only ever see your photos and videos, never the
rest of your files.
Deleting is permanent
Archiving a photo in Cull hides it from your sorting queue but keeps the file. Deleting hands the file to Android, and Android shows its own confirmation dialog and performs the deletion — Cull cannot delete anything silently. Depending on your device and gallery app the file may go to a system trash for a period, after which it is gone. Bract Studio holds no copy and cannot recover a deleted photo for you.
Internet access
Cull declares Android's internet permission, so we should say plainly what it is for. It is used to open links you tap yourself — the studio website, the Play Store listing and this privacy policy — by Google Play Billing to process a purchase, and by Google Play for app updates.
The app does not contact any Bract Studio server, because there isn't one. Nothing about how you use Cull is reported to us.
Purchases
Cull offers a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full version. Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see or receive your card number, billing address or any other payment detail — Google confirms the purchase to the app and nothing more. Refunds and payment queries are handled by Google Play under its own terms and privacy policy.
Children
Cull is not directed at children, and collects no data from anyone — including children under 13, or the equivalent age in your country. Because we collect nothing, there is nothing to delete on request.
Data sharing and sale
We share nothing, because we hold nothing. We have never sold user data and have no mechanism to do so.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data a company holds about you. Bract Studio holds no personal data about Cull users, so there is nothing for us to return or erase.
Everything Cull touches lives on your own device and is under your control: revoke any permission in Android Settings, or uninstall the app to remove it all at once.
Google Play compliance
Cull complies with Google Play's Limited Use requirements. Data the app accesses on your device is used solely to provide features that are visible to you in the app, is processed locally on the device, is never transferred to any server, and is never used for advertising, profiling or credit assessment. It is never sold.
