Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Timich uses when you browse your self-hosted Immich library from Timich for iPhone and iPad, Timich TV for Android TV / Google TV, or a paired Timich Agent.

Information the App Uses

• Server URL that you enter for your Immich instance.
• Connection credentials such as API key, email address, password, bearer token, and Timich Agent pairing information if you choose to connect to your server or agent.
• Media metadata and media files requested from your Immich server, Timich Agent, or Timich Reach route for browsing, playback, sharing, and saving.
• Search terms that you enter when searching your paired Immich library or Timich Agent.
• Photo Library metadata and media files from your device if you enable local upload to a paired Timich Agent.
• Timich Agent upload policy, upload status, and local upload settings when you use Agent upload.
• Local app settings, such as whether the connection screen should be skipped on launch or whether a TV device should remain paired with an Agent.
• Purchase and restore information from the App Store when you use Timich Reach.

How Data Is Used

• To connect to the Immich server or Timich Agent that you specify.
• To authenticate your session with your Immich server or paired Timich Agent.
• To load your library thumbnails, photos, and videos.
• To send your search request to the Immich server or Timich Agent that you choose.
• To support sharing and saving items that you choose to export from the app.
• To upload eligible photos and videos from your device to a paired Timich Agent when you enable local upload and the Agent administrator has allowed an upload destination.
• To keep basic local preferences on your device.
• To activate or restore Timich Reach access through the App Store when you choose to use Remote Browsing.

Local Storage and Caching

• Connection credentials may be stored securely on your device so you do not need to enter them every time.
• Thumbnail images may be cached locally on your device to improve scrolling performance.
• Timich may store local preferences for a paired Agent, such as whether device upload is off or Wi-Fi only.
• Timich TV may store the Agent URL, pairing/session information, local settings, and thumbnail cache on the Android TV / Google TV device so the app can reconnect and browse efficiently.
• Timich uses local device storage only for app operation and performance.

Photo Library Permission

If you choose to save a photo or video from Timich to your iPhone or iPad, the system will ask for permission to add items to your photo library.

Timich requests add-only photo library access for this feature.

If you enable local upload to a paired Timich Agent, Timich needs Full Photo Library access so it can read eligible photos and videos from your device and send them to the Agent upload destination configured by that Agent's administrator. Local upload is off by default and can be disabled in the app. Limited Photo Library access is not used for automatic upload.

Timich TV

Timich TV is the Android TV / Google TV app for browsing your library through a paired Timich Agent.

Timich TV does not request access to an Android device photo library and does not upload local TV media. It connects to the Agent URL that you provide or pair with, stores pairing/session information on the TV device, requests thumbnails, photos, videos, search results, and slideshow items from your paired Agent, and caches thumbnails locally for performance.

If you disconnect Timich TV from an Agent, the app removes the locally stored pairing information for that TV app. Cached thumbnails may remain on the device until removed by the system, cleared by the app, or replaced by newer cached data.

Timich Reach

Timich Reach is a remote browsing feature for your own paired Timich Agent.

When you use Timich Reach, Timich servers may process activation, subscription, pairing, routing, and relay requests needed to connect your device to your paired agent. Timich Reach is not a hosted photo library. The service is designed to relay requests for your own Immich library instead of importing your library into Timich-controlled storage.

Current device upload is local to your paired Timich Agent and does not upload your device photo library through Timich Reach.

Data Sharing

• Timich connects to the Immich server, Timich Agent, or Timich Reach route that you choose.
• Timich does not require a developer-operated account for the basic local Immich browsing experience.
• When you connect directly to your Immich server or Timich Agent, media data is exchanged between your device and the server or agent you choose.
• When you use Timich TV, media data, search requests, and playback requests are exchanged between the TV device and the paired Timich Agent you choose.
• When you enable local upload, photos and videos from your device are sent directly to the paired Timich Agent and written to the upload destination controlled by that Agent's administrator.
• When you use Timich Reach, Timich servers may relay activation, subscription, pairing, routing, catalog, preview, detail-preview, and related remote browsing requests between your device and your paired Timich Agent. Timich Reach is not a hosted photo library: Timich does not import your library, create a cloud copy of your catalog, or provide general cloud storage for your media.
• Timich Reach does not relay device upload data in the current local upload flow.
• App Store purchase and subscription information is handled through Apple and used to activate or restore Timich Reach access.
• Timich is not intended to sell your personal data.

Data Retention and Deletion

• If you want Timich to open directly to your library after setup, use Skip this screen next time on the connection screen, or open the Settings app, choose Timich, and enable Skip Connection Screen on Launch in the Account section.
• Locally stored connection info can be removed from within the app by using Clear Saved Connection Info on the connection screen.
• Cached images may remain on the device until removed by the system or replaced by newer cached data.
• Timich TV pairing information can be removed by disconnecting or clearing the paired Agent from the TV app.
• Uploaded copies and upload history stored by Timich Agent are controlled by the Agent installation and upload destination you use. Manage or delete those files and records through your own Agent host, NAS, or storage.
• If you want data removed from your Immich server, manage that data through your own Immich installation.
• If you use Timich Reach, subscription management is handled through the App Store.
