Last Updated: May 25, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Gallery Mode and the products and services we provide. We understand the importance of personal information and value the trust you place in us. We comply with applicable laws and regulations and adopt appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. This Gallery Mode Privacy Policy (the "Policy" or "Privacy Policy") explains how we collect, use, share, store, and protect your personal information when you use our products and services, and how you may manage your personal information so that you can make informed choices.

Before using our products and services, please read this Policy carefully and make sure you fully understand it, especially the clauses marked in bold. You should begin using the products and services only after you have fully understood and agreed to this Policy. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments regarding this Policy, you may contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.

By accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that you understand the functions provided by the App and the rules governing the processing of personal information in connection with those functions. You also agree that, when you actively use a particular feature, we may process the personal information necessary to provide that feature. This does not mean that you have separately consented to optional features or to the processing of non-essential personal information. Where optional features are enabled, or where non-essential or sensitive personal information will be processed, we will provide separate notice and obtain your consent based on your actual use.

To provide services such as ad display, ad measurement, ad safety, and privacy consent management, this App may integrate third-party advertising services, including Google AdMob. In regions where applicable laws or relevant platform rules require it, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and certain U.S. states, we will present relevant notices through consent prompts or privacy options and allow you to manage your advertising privacy choices.

 

This Policy will help you understand the following:

1. Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

2. Sharing, Transfer, and Public Disclosure of Your Personal Information

3. Protection of Your Personal Information

4. Your Rights

5. Personal Information of Minors

6. Retention and Storage of Your Personal Information

1. Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

Personal information means various types of information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person that are recorded electronically or by other means, excluding information that has been anonymized.

For the purposes described in this Policy, we will collect and use your personal information when you use the corresponding product features. If we intend to use information for a purpose not described in this Policy, or to use information collected for a specific purpose for a different purpose, we will obtain your consent in advance.

 

1.1 Collection and Use with Your Consent

1.1.1 Device Connection and Device Discovery

When you use features such as adding a device, discovering devices on a local network, or connecting a mobile device (such as your phone) to the TV over a local network, we need to identify and connect the relevant devices within that local network environment. For this purpose, we may process device names, WLAN access point information, IP addresses, network status information, and device identifiers necessary for local-network and DLNA-type device discovery and connection. This enables us to discover available devices, display device names, and complete the connection. Unless otherwise described for a specific feature, we will not use information collected in this scenario for purposes unrelated to gallery display.

 

1.1.2 Advertising and Privacy Consent Management

To provide services such as ad display, ad measurement, ad safety, frequency control, fraud and abuse prevention, service optimization, and, where you have consented, personalized advertising, this App may integrate Google AdMob advertising services and related components. Google AdMob may process information related to advertising services based on your device, your use of the App, your region, your device settings, and your privacy choices.

The foregoing information may include device information, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, approximate location information, app information, ad display and interaction data, diagnostic information, and technical information related to ad requests. The specific types of data processed may vary depending on your device type, system version, region, app version, ad configuration, and the privacy choices you make.

In regions where applicable laws or relevant platform rules require it, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and certain U.S. states, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present privacy consent messages or privacy options. This allows you to manage your preferences regarding personalized advertising, advertising-related data processing, and related privacy choices. You may consent, decline, or otherwise manage your advertising privacy preferences. If you do not consent to personalized advertising, this App may still display non-personalized or limited ads to the extent permitted by applicable law and platform rules, although those ads may be less relevant.

Because Google LLC, its affiliates, and other third-party service providers may process, transfer, or store data related to advertising services outside your country or region through their global service infrastructure, the storage location, retention period, deletion mechanisms, and related rights you may exercise with respect to such data are generally governed by the privacy policies, product terms, and applicable laws of those third parties.

You may review this Privacy Policy through the privacy-related settings entry in the App. Where applicable laws or relevant platform rules require it and the App displays a privacy choices entry, you may reopen the advertising privacy options page through that settings entry or through an in-app "Privacy Choices," "Privacy Selection," or similar entry, and review or change your advertising privacy choices. If a particular page does not directly display such an entry, you may contact us using the contact details set out in Section 8 of this Policy.

 

1.1.3 Google Photos Connection and Media Processing

When you use the Google Photos feature, we will guide you to open a link or scan a QR code on your phone or computer to connect your Google account. You may independently choose which photos or videos this App may access and display. To provide this feature, we may process your Google Photos account connection status, information about the photos or videos you select for display, necessary metadata related to display or download, and the network request and diagnostic information required for the operation of the feature.

To facilitate browsing, slideshow playback, and display of selected content on the TV, we may store locally on the device the necessary account connection status, information about photo or video lists, cached thumbnails, and downloaded media data. You may disconnect your Google Photos account and clear local data through the relevant settings entry within the App. After you do so, we will clear the local account connection status, cached data, and downloaded media data related to this feature, but we will not delete the original photos and videos in your Google Photos cloud account.

 

1.1.4 AI Image Generation and Voice Input

When you use the AI image generation feature, you may enter prompts by keyboard or generate prompts through voice input. If you choose voice input, the App will request microphone access and process your voice content through the device system's speech recognition service. Depending on the device system, speech service provider, and network environment, the relevant voice content may be recognized and processed locally on the TV or in the cloud by the corresponding speech service provider. The App receives the recognized text, populates the input field with it, and, after your confirmation, uses it as the prompt for AI image generation.

When you confirm an AI image generation request, the current text-to-image feature will send the prompts you enter or confirm, generation parameters such as image size, and the technical information necessary to provide the service to our servers and the connected AI image generation service in order to generate image results. After the image is generated, it will be returned to the App and downloaded to local device storage for your browsing, display, or management. Under the current service arrangements, the foregoing prompts and generation parameters are used only to complete the current AI generation request and are not retained as ongoing user prompt content or used for long-term cloud storage or backup; however, the relevant service providers may undertake short-term technical handling or retention where necessary to ensure secure and stable service operation, troubleshoot failures, or comply with legal requirements.

When you use AI outpainting, image-to-image, or other features that require uploading original images for AI processing, the App will upload the images you actively select to our servers and the connected AI image processing services in order to complete outpainting, editing, or generation tasks. After processing is completed, the resulting image will be returned to the App and downloaded to local device storage. Under the current service arrangements, the original images that you actively upload for AI outpainting or related AI image processing features are used only to complete the current processing and are not used for long-term cloud storage or backup; however, the relevant service providers may undertake short-term technical handling or retention where necessary to ensure secure and stable service operation, troubleshoot failures, or comply with legal requirements.

 

1.1.5 Photo Uploads and Local Network Transmission

When you use phone casting, the companion mobile application MHelper, or other upload methods within the same local network to transfer photos to the TV, the App will establish a photo upload or reception service within the same Wi-Fi or local network environment. For this purpose, we may process device IP addresses, network status information, local network device identifiers, the photo files you choose to upload, file names, and other technical information necessary to complete the transfer.

As currently implemented, in this scenario photos are generally transmitted directly between your mobile device and the TV over the local network. Photos uploaded to the TV are stored locally on the device and may be used for display features such as Family Album and Life Moments. We recommend that you use this feature only in a trusted local network or Wi-Fi environment to reduce security risks during transmission. Unless you separately choose to use another cloud-based feature, this feature is not designed to upload such photos to our cloud servers.

 

1.1.6 Analytics, Performance Monitoring, and Crash Diagnostics

To analyze feature usage, assess feature effectiveness, improve the product experience, monitor App stability, and troubleshoot failures, the current version of this App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. Depending on the version, build configuration, or service plan, it may also use analytics services provided by third parties such as Umeng in accordance with applicable law. For these purposes, the relevant services may process App instance identifiers, device information, App version information, App usage events, performance and diagnostic information, crash stack information, exception messages, and other technical information necessary for service operation. The specific services used depend on the App version, build configuration, and service plan associated with the version you use.

 

1.1.7 Other Features

If any feature, product, or service that requires the collection of your personal information is not described in this Policy, or if we process your personal information beyond the stated purpose or any directly related or reasonably associated scope, we will provide additional notice and obtain your consent in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Please note the following:

a. Because the products and services we provide may vary by TV model and version, the types and scope of personal information collected and used in a particular scenario may also vary. Please refer to the specific product or service feature you actually use.

b. When you actively use a particular product feature, you agree that we may collect and use the relevant personal information to the extent necessary to provide that feature. For processing activities that require separate consent by law or require you to make a choice, we will separately notify you and obtain your consent in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and relevant platform rules.

 

1.2 Collection and Use Without Your Consent

Under applicable laws, regulations, and national standards, we may collect and use relevant personal information without your consent in the following circumstances:

(1) Where it relates to national security or national defense security;

(2) Where it relates to public safety, public health, or major public interests, for example, where necessary to respond to a public health emergency, or in emergency circumstances to protect the life, health, or property safety of a natural person;

(3) Where it relates to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial, or enforcement of judgments;

(4) Where it is necessary to protect the significant legitimate rights and interests relating to your or another individual's life or property, but obtaining your consent is difficult;

(5) Where the personal information collected has been independently disclosed to the public by you or your guardian;

(6) Where your personal information is collected from lawfully disclosed information, such as lawful news reports or government information disclosure channels;

(7) Where it is necessary for concluding or performing a contract to which you are a party;

(8) Where it is necessary to maintain the secure and stable operation of the products and/or services provided, such as identifying or handling failures of the products and/or services;

(9) Where personal information is processed within a reasonable scope for news reporting or public opinion supervision for the public interest;

(10) Other circumstances where it is necessary to perform duties or obligations under laws and regulations, or other circumstances provided for by laws and regulations.

Where permitted by applicable laws and regulations, we may elect not to notify you if the measures we take can effectively avoid harm arising from disclosure, alteration, or loss of information; however, if a regulatory authority determines that harm may arise and requires us to notify you, we will do so in accordance with that requirement.

 

4. Your Rights

In accordance with applicable laws, regulations, standards, and common practices in other jurisdictions, we will protect your ability to exercise the following rights in respect of your personal information:

 

4.1 Access and Correction of Your Personal Information

(1) You have the right to access and correct your personal information, except where otherwise provided by applicable laws and regulations;

(2) If you are unable to access the personal information you wish to access, or unable to correct your personal information, you may contact us using the contact details set forth in Section 8 of this Policy.

 

4.2 Deletion of Your Personal Information

In the following circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal information:

(1) If the purpose for which we process your personal information has been achieved, cannot be achieved, or is no longer necessary for that purpose;

(2) If we stop providing products or services, or the retention period has expired;

(3) If we process your personal information based on your consent and you withdraw that consent;

(4) If our processing of your personal information violates laws, administrative regulations, or our agreement with you;

(5) If you no longer use our products or services, or you have proactively closed your account;

(6) If we no longer provide products or services to you.

 

If we decide to grant your deletion request, we will also notify entities that received your personal information from us and require them to delete it promptly, unless otherwise required by applicable law or unless those entities have obtained your separate consent. After you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete the corresponding information from backup systems. We will delete such information when those backup systems are updated. Please understand that, where the statutory retention period has not expired or deletion of personal information is technically difficult, we will stop processing such information other than storing it and taking necessary security protection measures, as required by applicable laws and regulations.

 

4.3 Changes to or Withdrawal of Your Consent

You may change the scope of your consent or withdraw it by updating or deleting relevant information, adjusting privacy settings, enabling or disabling relevant device functions, or contacting us in the manner set out in Section 8 of this Policy.

Where applicable laws or relevant platform rules require it and this App displays the relevant entry, you may review or modify your preferences regarding personalized advertising, advertising-related data processing, or related privacy matters through the privacy-related settings entry in the App or through an in-app "Privacy Choices," "Privacy Selection," or similar entry. After you update your preferences, we will adjust subsequent ad requests and ad display behavior based on your latest choice and the processing rules of services such as Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP).

For Google Photos account connection, you may disconnect your account and clear local data through the relevant Google Photos settings entry within the App. After you do so, we will delete or clear the local account connection status, cached thumbnails, downloaded media data, and related records associated with the Google Photos feature, but we will not delete the original photos and videos in your Google Photos cloud account.

Please note that certain products or services require the collection of necessary personal information in order to function. If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer be able to provide the corresponding product or service to the extent that such consent is necessary. This will not affect personal information processing already carried out on the basis of your prior consent. If you withdraw or refuse consent relating to personalized advertising, this App may still display non-personalized or limited ads to the extent permitted by applicable law and relevant platform rules. If ads cannot lawfully be requested based on your privacy choices or regulatory requirements, we will not request or display the relevant ads.

 

4.4 Right to Request an Explanation

You have the right to request an explanation of the rules governing the processing of your personal information. You may contact us using the contact details provided in Section 8.

 

4.5 Automated Decision-Making

Core features of this App, such as image display, playback, Google Photos browsing, and local-network phone photo uploads, generally do not rely solely on automated decision-making in a manner that would have a significant impact on your rights and interests. In scenarios such as AI image generation, AI outpainting, and service security and reliability, we may carry out automated processing based on information systems, algorithms, or models. If such processing has a significant impact on your rights and interests, you may contact us using the contact details set out in Section 8 to request an explanation, and we will protect your relevant rights in accordance with applicable law.

 

4.6 Response to Your Requests

To ensure security, you may need to provide a written request or otherwise prove your identity. We may first require you to verify your identity before processing your request.

Once we have sufficient information to confirm that your request can be processed, we will respond within 15 business days. In principle, we do not charge a fee for reasonable requests. However, for repeated requests or requests that exceed reasonable limits, we may charge a reasonable fee where appropriate. We may refuse requests that are manifestly unfounded or repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing existing practices), pose risks to the legitimate rights and interests of others, or are highly impracticable (for example, where the requested information is stored on backup tapes).

 

In the following circumstances, we will be unable to respond to your request:

(1) Where it is related to our performance of obligations imposed by laws and regulations;

(2) Where it is directly related to national security or national defense security;

(3) Where it is directly related to public safety, public health, or major public interests;

(4) Where it is directly related to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial, or enforcement of judgments;

(5) Where we have sufficient evidence to show that you are acting in bad faith or abusing your rights (for example, where your request would endanger public safety or the legitimate rights and interests of others, or where your request exceeds what can reasonably be addressed through ordinary technical means and reasonable commercial cost);

(6) Where it is necessary to protect the significant legitimate rights and interests relating to your or another individual's life or property, but obtaining consent is difficult;

(7) Where responding to your request would seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests of you, another individual, or an organization.

 

5. Personal Information of Minors

(1) This App is primarily intended for general users and is not specifically directed to children. We take the protection of minors' personal information seriously. This App does not currently identify users' ages or implement automatic age verification or guardian-consent verification mechanisms. If you are a minor, please read this Policy carefully under the guidance of your parent or other legal guardian, and use our services or provide information to us only after obtaining the consent of your parent or other legal guardian. Where applicable laws or regulations require guardian consent, that consent must be provided by your parent or other legal guardian.

(2) Where children's personal information is collected with the consent of a parent or other legal guardian in connection with the child's use of our products or services, we will use, share, transfer, or disclose such information only where permitted by applicable law, where we have the explicit consent of the parent or legal guardian, or where necessary to protect minors.

(3) If you are the parent or other legal guardian of a child, please monitor whether the child in your care is using our services with your consent. If you have any questions about the personal information of the child in your care, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section 8.

 

6. Retention and Storage of Your Personal Information

6.1 We retain the information and materials we collect about you only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Policy. After the applicable retention period expires, we will delete or anonymize your personal information unless we are otherwise required or permitted to retain it under applicable laws, regulations, or binding governmental requirements, or unless retention is necessary to satisfy our compliance obligations. In determining the retention period for personal information, we primarily consider the following criteria, and the longest applicable period will apply:

(1) To complete transactions related to you, maintain corresponding transaction and business records, and respond to inquiries or complaints you may make;

(2) To ensure the security and quality of the services we provide to you;

(3) Where you consent to a longer retention period for your personal information;

(4) Where laws and regulations provide other special provisions on retention periods.

 

6.2 For information processed by third-party service providers or relevant system services, the storage location, retention period, and deletion rules may be governed by the privacy policies, service rules, and applicable laws and regulations of the relevant third party or system service provider. The current version of this App uses Firebase Analytics for analytics functions. Depending on the version, build configuration, or service plan, analytics services such as Umeng may also be used. For information on how Google processes and stores information related to advertising services, analytics, crash diagnostics, and Google Photos-related services, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy, Firebase Privacy and Security documentation, Google Ads Technologies documentation, and the descriptions of the relevant services.
