Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Card turns today's weather into a small illustrated postcard. When you start one, the app asks iOS for a one-shot, approximate location if you allow it, has Apple's geocoder name your city from it (or uses a city you pick), sends your city's coordinate to Apple's WeatherKit servers for the brief weather lookup, then paints the postcard image with Apple's Image Playground and writes a two-line caption with Apple's on-device Foundation Models. The finished postcard image, caption, and weather summary are stored only on your device. From iOS 27, when Apple Intelligence makes an image, Apple may process your prompt on its Private Cloud Compute servers; Apple says these requests are not stored. Pink Card itself has no servers. The app has no account, no analytics, and no third-party SDK that contacts a server. The only network calls it makes are to Apple: the weather and city-name lookups when you start a postcard, and StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

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

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No camera, no microphone, no photo library access.
• No contacts, no calendar, no HealthKit.
• No background location and no passive tracking. The app never reads your location while it is not on screen.

Permissions the app uses

• Location, While Using the App — declared in NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription. Used for a single one-shot, approximate fix when you start a postcard. Apple's geocoder turns it into a city name, and that city name and coordinate are saved on your device as the city for your next postcards and sent to Apple's WeatherKit to look up today's conditions. There is no background location authorization and no “Always” option in the prompt.
• WeatherKit entitlement — allows the app to call Apple's WeatherKit framework for the weather lookup described below.

About WeatherKit

WeatherKit is Apple's weather framework. When you tap to generate a postcard, the app sends the coordinate of your city (from a one-shot CLLocationManager fix, or a city you picked) to Apple's WeatherKit servers and receives today's conditions (temperature, condition code, a short summary). Per Apple's WeatherKit usage terms, the coordinate is used to return weather for that point; Pink Card receives weather data only and does not transmit any identifier, account, or other information about you alongside the request. To name your city, the app also sends the location fix to Apple's geocoding service. The city name and coordinate are kept on your device, in UserDefaults, as the city for your next postcards.

For Apple's own handling of WeatherKit requests, see Apple's Privacy Policy and WeatherKit terms at apple.com/legal/privacy.

About Apple Intelligence (image and caption)

The postcard image is painted by Apple's Image Playground, accessed through the public framework on iOS 26, from a prompt that names today's weather and your city. On iOS 26 the image is made on your device. From iOS 27, when Apple Intelligence makes an image, Apple may process your prompt on its Private Cloud Compute servers; Apple says these requests are not stored. Pink Card itself has no servers. The two-line caption is written by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, accessed through LanguageModelSession, which runs locally on your iPhone's Neural Engine and does not use Private Cloud Compute.

Image Playground and Foundation Models are available only on Apple Intelligence-capable devices running iOS 26 (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or newer with A17 Pro or later). On other devices, Pink Card still makes the postcard with today's weather and a simple caption, without a painted image, and says why.

What stays on your device

• Your saved postcards (the PNG image data, the caption text, the short weather summary, and the creation date). Stored as PostcardEntry records in on-device SwiftData; image PNG bytes are kept in SwiftData external storage on local disk.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• The city new postcards start from (its name and coordinate), found from your location or picked by you. Stored in UserDefaults.
• If you allow reminders, the time of day you usually open the app, so a few tips and reminders arrive at a good moment in your first week. They are scheduled on your device and nothing is sent to us.

All of the above is stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

In-app purchases

Everything is unlocked for your first 3 days; after that, Pink Card is free for up to three postcards in total. Pro unlocks unlimited postcards. If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Card Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Card is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Card does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device beyond the Apple lookups described above (for example, cloud sync or postcard sharing through a server), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
