Listed below are the permissions, along with their usage, needed for the best Photo Vault experience:
Android
-
Storage - Grants private storage for files added to Keepsafe and prevents other apps from accessing them.
-
Camera - For taking photos and videos without them going to your default photo app.
-
Contacts - For finding existing accounts on your device to make signup and login easier.
The contacts permission is only used for the purposes stated above. Unfortunately, this is the only way Android allows us to request your existing account info.
On older versions of Android, these permissions will surface differently in the permission details in Google Play and in the app details of your system settings. As an example, you might see, "Photos/Media/Files" in addition to "Storage" or "Identity" in addition to "Contacts".
iOS
