Your data is yours
Lomo works without an account and offline. Your library, sessions, reviews and quotes are stored on your phone. The app is free, has no ads and does not sell data.
Why Lomo uses your Google account
Only if you turn on the cloud backup on Android. Lomo asks you to sign in with Google to save a copy of your library in a private folder of your own Google Drive, so you can restore it if you change phones.
Lomo can only see that folder of its own: it cannot read or change any other file in your Drive. The copy never reaches our servers, and you can disconnect it at any time from the app's settings.
The full details are in the privacy policy (in Spanish).
