Frequently Asked Questions

Totteco itself does not transmit anything to its own servers. Photos, frame assets, and settings stay on the device.

For quality improvement we use Firebase Analytics (usage), Firebase Crashlytics (crash data), and Google AdMob (advertising). These are third-party services operated by Google LLC, and each sends specific data to Google's servers.

No. Photos are stored only on your device. They are never sent to servers operated by Totteco. The current version does not provide iCloud sync, so photos do not leave the device.

Precise location is optionally recorded as photo metadata. It stays on the device only and is not transmitted to any server operated by Totteco.

Separately, AdMob may infer an approximate region from your IP address for ad targeting. This is not precise positioning, only a coarse area-level signal.

Totteco is a free, indie-developed app. Banner ads (AdMob) appear only at the bottom of the photo library screen to support development and operation. They do not appear on the capture or editing screens, where focus matters most.

AdMob may use the following for ad delivery:

• Advertising identifier (IDFA) — only if you allow it via ATT
• Interaction history with ads (impressions, clicks)
• Approximate region inferred from your IP
• Technical metadata such as device model and OS version

IDFA is Apple's standard advertising identifier used across permitted apps for personalization and measurement.

ATT is an iOS feature that presents a permission dialog before an app accesses your IDFA. Totteco shows this prompt the first time you open the photo library screen.

If you deny, ads will still appear but may be less relevant. You can change the choice at any time from Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

In iOS Settings, go to Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising and turn off Personalized Ads to suppress personalized advertising system-wide.

There is no in-app opt-out UI for Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics today. The data is not collected in a way that identifies you personally, and is used only for quality improvement.

If you want to stop the collection, please delete the app or contact us.

Yes. In iOS Settings → Totteco you can change camera, photo library, location, and tracking permissions at any time.

Totteco is not intended for users under 13. Children under 13 should use the app only with parental consent.
