Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Glance opens a live camera viewfinder in text-recognition mode using Apple's VisionKit DataScannerViewController. Recognized text is highlighted live on-device. When you tap a highlighted fragment, Pink Glance captures only the fragment text (plus an optional one-word context label you add), and saves it as a dated glance entry. Camera frames never leave the app, the OCR runs entirely on-device, and no full image is stored. 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 Glance 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. Pink Glance never records audio.
• No Photos library access. The app does not pick photos from your library and does not save images.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Camera permission

Pink Glance requests camera access (the NSCameraUsageDescription permission) only when the scanner is active. The live viewfinder is provided by Apple's VisionKit DataScannerViewController in text-recognition mode. Camera frames are processed on-device by VisionKit; the app itself never reads or persists individual camera frames. As soon as you close the scanner, the camera session ends.

No photo of the scene is saved. Only the recognized text fragment you tap is captured.

What stays on your device

• Your glance entries (the recognized text fragment you tapped, an optional one-word context label you may add, the language tag auto-detected on-device, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData.
• 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 Glance has stored.

On-device OCR and language detection

Text recognition is performed by Apple's VisionKit DataScannerViewController in live text mode. VisionKit runs the OCR pipeline entirely on-device. Pink Glance does not run its own computer-vision pipeline, does not upload frames to a server, and does not use any third-party OCR service.

The fragment's language is detected on-device using Apple's NaturalLanguage framework. The language tag stored alongside each entry is the same kind of tag Apple uses internally (for example, “en”, “lt”, “ru”).

DataScannerViewController requires iOS 16 or later. On older iOS versions the app cannot open the scanner.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Glance Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows the number of glances captured today. The widget reads only the count and the timestamp of the most recent entry from an App Group container on your device. No fragment text and no context labels are rendered on the Lock Screen, and nothing is sent off the device for the widget to function.

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 Glance 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 Glance 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 Glance does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke camera permission, use iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → 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.
