Show Only Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 November 2026

In short: Show Only works entirely on your phone. It only gets the photos and videos you pick, keeps your saved sets on your phone, and sends nothing to me or anyone else. There is no account, no ads and no analytics, and the app collects no data.

1. Who this policy applies to

This policy covers the Show Only app (“Show Only: Photo Lock” on the App Store) for Android and iPhone (package and bundle ID com.shiponfriday.showonly, and its share extension com.shiponfriday.showonly.share), made by Onkar Sarvade (“I”, “me”) under the name Ship on Friday.

2. What the app can see

Show Only does not ask for access to your whole photo library. It only gets:

The photos, videos or PDFs you pick with your phone’s own photo or file picker, or
The items you share to it from your gallery, Google Photos, Photos or another app.

It shows them in its viewer and nothing else. It cannot see the rest of your gallery.

3. What the app stores on your phone

Saved sets: copies of the photos and videos you put in a set, the set’s name and any captions you add.
Edited copies: when you use Hide parts, the cleaned copy is saved in the app. Your original photo is not changed.
Settings (language, theme, show options), whether you own Pro, and a history of your shows (when, how many items, and whether someone tried to leave).

All of this stays on your phone and is removed when you delete a set, clear the history, or uninstall the app.

4. Permissions and phone features it uses

Do Not Disturb access (Android, only if you allow it): to silence notifications and calls while you are showing, and switch back afterwards. The app does not read your notifications.
App pinning (Android) and Guided Access (iPhone): to keep the other person inside the viewer. Android shows its own prompt each time.
Screenshot blocking (Android): to stop screenshots and screen recording of your photos while showing.
Fingerprint, face or PIN: to finish showing, or to open the app if you turn on the app lock. This is checked by your phone; the app never sees your fingerprint, face or PIN.

5. What leaves your phone

Nothing, unless you choose to send it:

“Send me this”: when you finish, you can send the photos the other person liked using your phone’s share menu. They go only where you send them.
The app has no server, no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. I don’t receive your photos, sets, captions or history.

6. Purchases

Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled by Google Play on Android, under Google’s own privacy policy, and by the App Store on iPhone, under Apple’s privacy policy. The app asks the store whether you own Pro and remembers the answer on your phone. I receive only what the store shares with developers about an order.

I don’t collect your data, so I don’t sell or share it.

8. Children

Show Only is not directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. Kid mode is for parents handing their phone to a child; it collects nothing.

9. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, I’ll update it here and change the effective date above.
