Terms of Use

Acceptance

By installing or using the Pink Burst iOS app (“Pink Burst”, “the app”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not install or use the app.

Pink Burst is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

What Pink Burst is

Pink Burst is a personal scan-and-tag journal for iPhone. You open the app, point the camera at a barcode on something from your day (a product label, a book's ISBN, a food package's EAN-13, a QR code — anything Apple's VisionKit detector recognizes), and the raw payload is captured on-device. You then type a 1-word label (“apple”, “book”, “monitor stand”) and an optional 1-line note. The entry becomes a dated artifact you can revisit, plus a year wall of every barcoded item you tagged across the year and a Lock Screen widget when you unlock Pro.

Pink Burst is not a price tracker, not a calorie counter, not a grocery-list app, not a UPC lookup tool, and not a product database. There is no integration with retailer APIs, supermarket pricing services, nutrition APIs, inventory systems, or any third-party catalog. The app does not know what your barcode “is” — the label is whatever you type. Pink Burst is a literal scan-and-tag journal, kept locally on your device, for your own personal reflection.

Barcode detection requires iOS 16 or later on an iPhone with a rear camera. The detector is Apple's public VisionKit DataScannerViewController API and runs entirely on-device.

The app makes no network calls except to Apple's StoreKit for in-app purchases. The barcode detector runs entirely on-device. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Camera permission and what we do with it

Pink Burst opens the camera only when you tap “Scan a barcode”. The camera stream is consumed in-process by Apple's VisionKit DataScannerViewController which returns the decoded payload string and the symbology (for example ean13, upcA, qr). Pink Burst does not save the camera frames, does not extract text from packaging, does not perform object recognition, and does not store any image. Only the decoded payload, the symbology name, your typed label, your optional note, and the timestamp are written to the on-device database.

License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Pink Burst on iOS devices you own or control, subject to Apple's standard App Store Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “EULA”) which is incorporated by reference: apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. Where these Terms and the Apple EULA conflict, the Apple EULA controls.

Free window and subscriptions

When you first install Pink Burst, every feature is unlocked for three days with no payment and no account. This is a no-strings free window, not a trial signup.

After the three-day window, you may continue using the app for free with up to three burst entries lifetime, OR accept a one-time gift screen offering two weeks free of the Monthly subscription ($4/month after the two weeks). You may also purchase Annual ($25/year) or Lifetime ($59 one-time) at any time from the Settings screen. Pro unlocks unlimited bursts, the year wall export, and the Lock Screen widget.

All payments are processed through Apple's StoreKit and are subject to Apple's standard subscription terms, including auto-renewal. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in the iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions screen.

The Lifetime tier is a one-time non-consumable purchase. It remains active for as long as Apple keeps Pink Burst available on the App Store under your Apple ID.

Acceptable use

You agree not to reverse engineer, modify, redistribute, or create derivative works of Pink Burst, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.

You are responsible for the barcodes you choose to scan. The app is intended for scanning items you own or otherwise have permission to scan — for example, products on your desk, books on your shelf, food in your kitchen, or QR codes addressed to you. Do not point the app at strangers' property in a retail environment to build a catalog of items that aren't yours. Pink Burst stores only the decoded barcode string and your typed label; it does not read or decode any personally identifying information that a third party may have encoded into a QR code (and any such information you choose to capture remains entirely on-device).

The app provides no editing, sharing, or publishing surface, and bursts are kept locally for your own personal reflection.

Not a product database, not medical advice

Pink Burst is a personal-artifact journaling tool. It does not identify products, look up ingredients, return nutrition information, return pricing, return availability, or interpret the meaning of any barcode. A barcode payload is, by itself, just a number or string; the label that gives it meaning is whatever you type. Nothing the app stores or displays should be treated as medical, nutritional, allergen, dietary, or purchasing advice.

Disclaimers

Pink Burst is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Danielius Studio LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app.

Apple as third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Danielius Studio LLC, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for Pink Burst or its contents. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, except where Apple's EULA requires otherwise.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top. Continued use of Pink Burst after a change constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
