1. Overview

GlowLab is a photo editor with a local-first, privacy-first design philosophy.

  • We do not collect personal data.
  • We do not transmit your photos or edits to external servers.
  • We do not operate servers for our apps.
  • We do not sell, share, or monetize user data.

All editing and all AI tools run locally on your device.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

GlowLab does not collect, store, or send any of the following:

Personal Identity Data

No name, email, phone number, address, or identifiers.

Usage Data or Analytics

No telemetry, crash analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.

Your Photos and Edits

No photos, images, masks, or edits ever leave your device. They are processed only on your PC.

Sensitive System Data

No passwords, tokens, credentials, browsing history, or system logs.

Location Data

No GPS, IP-based location, or device location.

We do not run servers, so nothing can be uploaded even by accident.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

App Settings

Your theme, accent, and preferences are saved locally on your device only.

Recent Files List

The paths of photos you recently opened are stored locally so you can reopen them. You can clear this list at any time.

Exported Photos

Photos you export are saved to the location you choose and stay on your device.

Local Trial or Licence State

Managed entirely by the Microsoft Store. The app reads it locally; we receive nothing.

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it.

4. Microsoft Store Licensing

GlowLab is a paid app with a Microsoft Store managed free trial. All licensing, payments, and transactions are handled exclusively by Microsoft.

  • We do not process payment information.
  • We do not store payment details.
  • We do not receive your Microsoft account information.

5. App Permissions

Minimum Required Only

GlowLab requests only the minimum permissions required for core functionality. Permissions are used solely for app features and never for data collection.

File Access

Only the photos you open and the locations you save to — never background scanning.

On-Device Processing

All editing and every AI tool run on your own PC. Your images are never sent anywhere.

Network Access

Used only for the Microsoft Store licence check. No photos or personal data are sent to us.

6. Children's Privacy

GlowLab is a general-purpose photo editing tool. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not collect any data from any user.

7. Policy Updates

If this policy changes, we will update the version and effective date. Any changes will remain consistent with our core principle: Your data stays on your device.
