Roku TV application
Application name: Memory Lane
Purpose: Memory Lane is a Roku TV application that lets users securely connect their Google Photos account, select albums, and display the selected photos and videos on their own television.
The app is designed for private, personal viewing at home. Memory Lane does not replace Google Photos or provide public sharing.
How it works
The user selects “Connect Google Photos” in the Memory Lane Roku app and completes Google’s authorization process on a phone or computer.
The user chooses which Google Photos albums are available to Memory Lane. Content outside those selections is not displayed.
The selected albums can be browsed on Roku. Users can view photos full-screen and play their selected videos.
The connected Google account is shown in Settings. Users can change their selections or disconnect Google Photos at any time.
Google user data
Memory Lane requests Google Photos access only to retrieve and display the albums, photos, and videos the user chooses for viewing on their Roku TV.
QapHub does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, create advertising profiles, use it to train artificial-intelligence models, or make it public. Memory Lane does not operate a separate server that stores the contents of a user’s Google Photos library.
Privacy and control
Users choose which content is available to Memory Lane. Disconnecting Google Photos removes the app’s authorization, deletes its Google Photos Ambient device connection, and clears locally stored credentials from the Roku device.
