Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Ghost Gallery ("the Application"), developed by SDDEV ("Developer", "we", "us", or "our"), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Application.

These terms govern your rights and obligations when using the Application across all supported Android form factors, including smartphones, foldables, tablets, smartwatches (Wear OS), and Android TV.

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to install and run Ghost Gallery solely for personal, non-commercial media management and viewing on compatible Android devices that you own or control.

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of proprietary components.
• Circumvent, disable, or tamper with security or encryption features implemented within the Private Vault.
• Sublicense, rent, lease, distribute, or commercially host the Application without express written authorization.

Ghost Gallery is engineered with an uncompromising offline sovereign architecture:

• 100% Local Execution: All multimodal AI vector search embeddings (Google Gemma 2), subject segmentation, depth-map live wallpaper synthesis, visual similarity search, and HDR video rendering execute exclusively on your local device hardware.
• Zero Cloud Telemetry: No media files, photos, videos, face embeddings, EXIF coordinates, or search queries are ever uploaded or transmitted to any remote servers.
• No User Account or Central Backup: Ghost Gallery does not operate user accounts or cloud storage backends. You are solely responsible for creating independent backups of your media files.

The Application includes an encrypted Private Vault secured by hardware-backed biometrics and local 256-bit AES encryption.

Media placed in the vault is isolated from system media scanners. Uninstalling the app without first unlocking or exporting vault items may result in permanent data loss depending on Android scoped storage rules.

Ghost Gallery provides optional premium upgrades ("Ghost Pro") and one-time purchases to unlock advanced features. All payment transactions are handled exclusively by Google Play Billing:

• Google Account Processing: Ghost Pro purchases and subscriptions are processed by Google Play under your personal Google account. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment card details, UPI info, bank credentials, or billing addresses.
• Android Backup & Reinstalls: Android's automatic backup framework and Google Play account restore may preserve entitlement state across reinstalls on devices authenticated with the same Google account.
• Refund Guidelines & Disputes: All financial transactions, billing disputes, and refund requests are governed strictly by Google Play's Refund Policy. The Developer cannot manually issue direct cash refunds or reverse transactions outside the Google Play merchant console.

You retain 100% ownership and copyright over all media files, photos, videos, and generated wallpapers processed or stored using Ghost Gallery. The Developer claims zero rights, licenses, or ownership over your content.

All trademarks, branding, icons, custom graphics, and software code constituting Ghost Gallery remain the intellectual property of SDDEV and its licensors.

Ghost Gallery is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SDDEV and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, including loss of data, media corruption, hardware malfunction, or business interruption arising from the use or inability to use the Application.

We reserve the right to revise or update these Terms of Service at any time. When updates are published, the revised effective date at the top of this document will be amended.

Your continued use of Ghost Gallery following any revisions constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated terms. We will never alter our core commitment to offline-first processing and zero cloud tracking.
