Privacy policy

Version of 10 November 2026. Applies to the Omnipix app for Android (be.bravo.omnipix) and to this website, omnipix.eu.

1. Who we are

Omnipix and this website are made by BRAVO, the sole proprietorship of Simon Baes, Meiklokje 2, 8520 Kuurne, Belgium, company number BE 1017.094.785. Privacy questions: apps@bravoboard.be.

2. In short

Omnipix does not collect personal data. There is no server for the app, you create no account with us, and the app has no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting. Your photos are processed on your phone. What you do in the app does not reach us.

3. Access to your photos

Omnipix only reads photos in the places you connect yourself. It asks for a permission only when you choose that source.

Your phone

When you add local storage, you pick the folder in the Android folder picker and allow access to photos and videos. Omnipix then reads the photos and videos there, including the GPS position stored in a photo. If you allow it to "manage media", Android does not ask again for each deletion. You can withdraw this access in the Android settings.

Dropbox

You sign in on Dropbox's own page; Omnipix never sees your password. Omnipix only has access to the files in your own Dropbox account. When you add Dropbox, it asks for these four permissions at once:

files.metadata.read: read the list of your folders and files (names, dates, sizes);
files.content.read: fetch thumbnails, photos and videos to show them;
files.metadata.write and files.content.write: only to do what you ask: turn, move or delete a photo, or save your stars in a file stars.json in the Apps folder of your Dropbox.

If your Dropbox is connected with read access only (for example after you switch account in the folder picker), Omnipix asks Dropbox for permission to write files (files.content.write) the first time you turn, move, delete or star a photo, after a short explanation.

The access token is stored encrypted on your phone with a key from the Android Keystore. You can revoke access in the app, or in Dropbox under Settings, Connected apps.

External drives and NAS

An external drive is read through the Android folder picker. For a NAS, the app stores the address, user name and password you enter, encrypted on your phone, and only connects to that address, also to check whether the NAS can be reached. WebDAV always uses https. Whether SMB traffic is encrypted depends on the settings of your NAS.

4. Deleting and changing

Omnipix only deletes or changes a file when you ask.

Dropbox: deleted files go to the deleted files of your Dropbox, where Dropbox keeps them for at least 30 days.
Phone: deleted files go to the Android trash, for 30 days.
Turning a JPEG only changes the orientation tag in the file (EXIF), so no pixel changes and nothing is lost. Other formats are turned in the app only. In Dropbox the previous version stays in the version history.

5. What stays on your phone

To be fast, Omnipix keeps this in its private storage on your phone:

a list of your photos and videos (name, folder, dates, size);
thumbnails and a limited cache of large photos;
data from the photo itself (EXIF): date, camera, lens, exposure, size and, if present, the GPS position;
if you use search by content: the search model and an index computed on your phone (numbers per photo, a few subjects, recognised text);
map tiles in a cache, if you use the map;
whether you have Pro, your settings and your sources.

None of this leaves your phone. When you remove a source, the app asks whether to keep or remove this data. Uninstalling the app removes it. What you make yourself is saved on your phone, collages and mosaics in Pictures/Omnipix and PDFs in Documents/Omnipix, and stays until you delete it.

6. Who the app connects to

Dropbox (api.dropboxapi.com, content.dropboxapi.com, and dropboxusercontent.com to play videos; you sign in on www.dropbox.com in your browser), if you connect Dropbox, to fetch your own files. Dropbox privacy policy.
OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org), only when you open the map. It sees which map area you view and your IP address, nothing about your photos. OpenFreeMap privacy policy.
Hugging Face (huggingface.co), with Pro only, to download the search model once when you turn on search by content. This waits for Wi-Fi, unless you tap Download yourself. Hugging Face may hand the download to its own download servers. On a phone whose AI chip can run the model, one more version of it comes from the same place, over Wi-Fi only. It sees your IP address and the download. Hugging Face privacy policy.
Maven Central (repo1.maven.org), with Pro only and only on phones with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and Android 10 or later, to download Qualcomm's published runtime that lets the phone's AI chip run the search model, over Wi-Fi only. It sees your IP address and the download.
Your own NAS, at the address you enter.
Google Play, for installing, updates and the Pro purchase. Google handles the payment under its own privacy policy.

The app makes no other connections. A link you tap in the app, such as the Google Takeout guide, opens in your own browser.

7. No tracking

No advertising ID, no analytics, no automatic crash reporting, no cookies. We build no profiles and do not sell or share data.

When you choose "Help and feedback", the app opens an email to us in your own mail app with a short app log attached: app version, device model, Android version, Free or Pro, which kinds of sources are linked and how many photos they hold, and the app log of the last two days (timings and error messages). File and folder names, web addresses, mail addresses, places, account names and search terms are removed from it before it is attached. You can untick the attachment, you see it before you send, and nothing leaves your phone unless you press send. We use it only to answer you and fix the problem, and delete it when your question is closed.

8. This website

omnipix.eu sets no cookies and uses no analytics, no external fonts and no scripts from other sites. It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages; Cloudflare processes your IP address to deliver the pages and protect the site. Cloudflare privacy policy. If you mail us, we use your mail only to answer it.

9. Children

Omnipix is not aimed at children under 13.

10. Your rights

Apart from mails you send us yourself, we receive no personal data through the app, so there is nothing with us to access, correct or delete. Mails you can ask us to delete at any time. Questions: apps@bravoboard.be. You can file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority, Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels, www.dataprotectionauthority.be.

11. Changes

If what the app fetches or connects to changes, we update this policy before that version is released.
