Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Lens does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The live camera viewfinder finds text in the world using Apple's on-device data scanner. When you tap to capture, the text is read on-device and Apple's on-device language model writes one short gloss about what it might mean. The capture, the text, the gloss — 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 Lens 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 location, no contacts, no calendar. The app does not request these permissions.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

System permissions

Pink Lens requests Camera access only — to run the live viewfinder and capture text when you tap. The captured frame is read on-device and saved to the app sandbox. The app does not access your existing camera roll. You can revoke camera access at any time in iOS Settings → Pink Lens.

What stays on your device

• Your captures (the recognized text, the on-device gloss, and a small thumbnail of the scene). Stored as CaptureEntry records in on-device SwiftData. Larger payloads such as the thumbnail use SwiftData externalStorage attributes so the store stays compact.
• The total capture count and the date the app was first launched. Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the onboarding intro has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

On-device intelligence (Apple Intelligence)

The text recognition uses Apple's on-device data scanner, accessed through the public VisionKit framework on iOS 26. The gloss generation uses the on-deviceFoundation Models framework. Both execute on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The captured frame and recognized text are passed to the models in-process and never leave the device. The app does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for these features.

Pink Lens is available only on Apple Intelligence-capable devices (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or newer) running iOS 26 or later. On older or unsupported devices, the app cannot generate glosses.

In-app purchases

Free use includes three captures lifetime. Pink Lens Pro unlocks unlimited captures, full-library search, and the Lock Screen widget. 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 Lens 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 Lens 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 Lens 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, including every capture, simply delete the app.

Changes

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