Optional Palace action history
The app records history locally. When you explicitly enable Share history in Sources settings, new redacted events are sent every 12 hours to catalog.palace.plus. Uploaded fields include action, time, platform, app version, outcome, and a hash identifying public media. Private paths, URLs, searches, album names and full style configurations are not uploaded. Raw event JSON is retained for 90 days. Aggregate statistics and event identifiers used to prevent duplicate counting remain longer. Disabling sharing stops future uploads; existing aggregates remain. Notification checks read your selected endpoint directly and do not register it with a monitoring service.
