Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Flock lets you pick or capture a photo of your pet. Apple's on-device Vision framework (VNDetectAnimalBodyPoseRequest) detects the animal's skeletal pose. A silhouette of that pose is rendered and saved with the pet's name. The original pet photo is not saved — only the silhouette and the joint vector. A year wall groups silhouettes by pet name. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Flock 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 microphone, no audio recording at any point.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Photos and Camera permissions

Pink Flock requests Photos access (the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription permission) when you choose to pick an existing photo of your pet through Apple's system picker. If you choose to take a new photo instead, Pink Flock requests Camera access (the NSCameraUsageDescription permission) so the system camera can capture the shot.

Both permissions are used only to obtain the single photo you explicitly hand to the app. Pink Flock does NOT scan your broader Photos library, does NOT build an index of your photos, does NOT extract human-face data, EXIF, or location metadata beyond what is intrinsic to the image you share with the app. The Vision request the app uses is VNDetectAnimalBodyPoseRequest, which is scoped to animal pose only.

The original pet photo is never saved

When you pick or capture a pet photo, Pink Flock loads it into memory, runs the on-device Vision pose request, renders a silhouette from the detected joint coordinates, and then discards the original photo. Only the silhouette PNG and the joint coordinates JSON are written to disk. The original photo is not stored in the app's container, not shared, not uploaded, and not retained after the entry is saved.

If you picked the photo from your Photos library, it continues to live in your library untouched. If you captured it through Pink Flock, you can choose during the capture flow whether to also save the original to Photos — that is a separate system step under your control, not something the app does automatically.

What stays on your device

• Your flock entries (the pet name you typed, the animal kind detected by Vision, the joint coordinates JSON returned by VNDetectAnimalBodyPoseRequest, the rendered silhouette PNG, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the silhouette bytes held as external storage.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Flock has stored.

Vision framework (on-device)

Pink Flock uses Apple's Vision framework (VNDetectAnimalBodyPoseRequest) to detect the skeletal pose of the animal in your photo. The request runs entirely on your device. The photo is not sent to Apple, to us, or to any third party.

Pink Flock does NOT use Image Playground, Apple Intelligence generative tools, or any other generative model. Every silhouette in your flock is rendered deterministically from the joint coordinates Vision returned for the real photo you provided; nothing about the silhouette is synthesized or invented.

In-app purchases

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 Flock 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 Flock 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 Flock does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke Photos or Camera permission, use iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos (or Camera). To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

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