Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Glow lets you pick a photo from your own Photos library and runs Apple's built-in Vision classifier (VNClassifyImageRequest) on-device to identify the scene. The top five classifications, a 512-pixel thumbnail, the dominant class label, and the note you typed all stay on your device. 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 Glow 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 camera. Pink Glow never opens the camera or records audio; it only reads photos you explicitly pick.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Photos permission

Pink Glow requests Photos access (the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription permission) so that the system picker can show you photos to choose from. The permission is used only to read the photos you explicitly pick through Apple's PhotosPicker.

Pink Glow does NOT scan your broader library, does NOT build an index of your photos, does NOT extract face data, and does NOT read EXIF or location metadata beyond what is intrinsic to the frame you share with the app.

What stays on your device

• Your glow entries (a 512-pixel thumbnail of the picked photo, the top five scene classifications from Apple's Vision classifier with their confidence scores, the dominant class label, the note you typed, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the thumbnail bytes held as external storage.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-glow free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the paywall has been acknowledged.

The original photo continues to live in your Photos library. Pink Glow keeps only the 512-pixel thumbnail plus the classification labels. Pink Glow never modifies, deletes, or writes back to the original.

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

On-device classifier (Vision framework)

Scene classification is performed by Apple's Vision framework through the public VNClassifyImageRequest API. The model is Apple's built-in image classifier and recognizes roughly 1,300 general scene and object labels (for example, “beach”, “skyline”, “dog”). The request runs entirely on your iPhone's Neural Engine. No image data, no embedding, and no classification result is transmitted off the device.

The classifier returns a ranked list of labels with confidence scores. Pink Glow keeps the top five plus the highest-confidence label as the dominant class. No face detection, person recognition, or biometric analysis is performed.

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