Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how FoldPaper ("I", "me", "the app") handles your information. FoldPaper is a live wallpaper application for Android, developed by Sisorop.

2. Data I Collect

FoldPaper is designed to work locally on your device. I do not operate servers, do not require user accounts, and do not collect personal data for my own purposes. The following data processing occurs:

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All of the following stays on your device and is never transmitted to me or any third party:

Wallpaper configurations, presets, and settings (via Android DataStore)
Album data: image references, crop overrides, motion configurations
Depth masks generated by on-device ML processing (stored as local PNG files)
App preferences (theme, accent color, language, onboarding status)

2.2 Crash Reports (Optional)

When the app crashes, a log file containing the stack trace, device model, Android version, and app version is saved locally. On next launch, you are asked whether to send this report. You may also enable automatic crash report submission. Reports are sent via HTTPS to a Google Forms endpoint and contain:

Crash stack trace (technical error information)
Device manufacturer, model, Android version, API level
App version and build type
Your optional message (if you choose to add one)

I do not intentionally collect personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or IP address through these reports. Note that Google, as the host of the form endpoint, may process your IP address at the moment a report is transmitted (see Google Privacy Policy). You can disable automatic sending at any time in the app settings.

2.3 Feedback & Bug Reports (User-Initiated)

If you choose to submit feedback or a bug report through the app, the following is sent to a Google Forms endpoint:

Your message
Report type (feature request or bug report)
Device manufacturer, model, Android version, API level
App version and build type

2.4 On-Device Image Processing

FoldPaper uses Google ML Kit Subject Segmentation to generate depth masks from your images. This processing runs entirely on your device. Images are not uploaded to any server for this feature.

2.5 External Sources (Optional)

FoldPaper lets you optionally connect external sources to browse, import, or download wallpapers directly onto your device. These may include public wallpaper communities (such as Wallhaven) and, in the future, personal cloud-storage providers. Each source is operated by an independent third party, not by me.

No external source is active until you choose to add one. When you use a source, your device communicates directly with that provider over HTTPS. Depending on the type of source, this may involve:

Search-based sources: the search terms and filters you enter (for example keywords, categories, sort order, or a minimum resolution derived from your screen size) are sent to the provider to return matching images.
Account-based sources: you sign in and authorize access through the provider; authentication and any access tokens are handled by that provider, and only the content you choose is retrieved.
All sources: your device's IP address is transmitted, as with any internet request.

I do not operate these services and do not receive, store, or process your search queries, credentials, or account data. Images you select are downloaded and stored privately on your device. Your use of each source is also subject to that provider's own terms and privacy practices, and its servers may be located outside the European Economic Area.

Where a source may expose mature content, FoldPaper requests content with a safe-for-work filter enabled. For Wallhaven this filter is permanently on and cannot be turned off.

3. Third-Party Services

FoldPaper integrates the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:

Google AdMob

Google LLC

Purpose: Display advertisements

Data: Device identifiers, ad interaction data (see Google Privacy Policy)

Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)

Google LLC

Purpose: GDPR consent management for ads

Data: Consent choices

Google ML Kit

Google LLC

Purpose: On-device subject segmentation

Data: Image data processed locally; model may be downloaded from Google

Google Play In-App Review

Google LLC

Purpose: App rating prompt

Data: Handled entirely by Google Play

Wallhaven

wallhaven.cc

Purpose: External wallpaper source: browse & download wallpapers

Data: Search terms and filters you enter, IP address; only when you add a Wallhaven source (see Wallhaven Terms)

I do not use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or any third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

4. Advertising & Your Choices

FoldPaper is ad-supported and displays ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as your Android Advertising ID) and your IP address, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Under the GDPR, these identifiers are considered personal data; they are processed by Google as a third party in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

You have the following choices regarding ads:

Consent management: When you first use the app (in applicable regions), a consent dialog provided by Google's User Messaging Platform is shown. You may choose to accept or decline personalized advertising. You can change or withdraw this choice at any time by clearing the app's data (which causes the consent dialog to be shown again) or via the ad-personalization controls described below.
Device settings: You can reset your advertising identifier or opt out of ad personalization via your Android device settings.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Crash report submission (optional), feedback submission (user-initiated), personalized advertising (via UMP consent dialog).
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): Displaying non-personalized ads to support the app; basic device information in crash reports to diagnose and fix bugs.

When you use an external source, the resulting request to that provider is carried out at your initiative to deliver the functionality you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) and/or (f) GDPR).

Where advertising or similar technologies involve storing information on, or accessing information already stored on, your device, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with § 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). You can withdraw this consent for the future at any time as described in Section 4.

6. Data Retention

Local data: Stored on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the app.
Crash reports & feedback: Stored in Google Forms/Sheets indefinitely for debugging purposes. These contain no personal identifiers.
Ad-related data: Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Data Transfers

Crash reports and feedback are transmitted to Google Forms (Google LLC, USA). Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Ad-related data processing by Google AdMob may also involve transfers to the USA under the same framework.

If you connect an external source, your device communicates directly with that provider when you use the feature. Such providers may operate servers outside the EU/EEA, and any transfer occurs only at your initiative when you actively use that source.

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

Access (Art. 15): request information about data I process about you
Rectification (Art. 16): request correction of inaccurate data
Erasure (Art. 17): request deletion of your data
Restriction (Art. 18): request restricted processing
Data portability (Art. 20): receive your data in a structured format
Object (Art. 21): object to processing based on legitimate interest
Withdraw consent (Art. 7(3)): withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing

To exercise these rights, contact me at support@sisorop.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority in Germany is:

Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg

9. Children's Privacy

FoldPaper is not directed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data through a crash or feedback report, please contact me and I will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
