Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Loop lets you pick one Live Photo a day from your own Photos library and pairs it with a four-line caption written on-device by Apple's Foundation Models from a brief description you type. The still frame, the asset identifier that points back to the Live Photo in your library, the brief you typed, and the generated caption 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 Loop 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 Loop never opens the camera or records audio; it only reads Live Photos you explicitly pick.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Photos permission

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

Pink Loop does NOT scan your broader library, does NOT build an index of your photos, does NOT extract face data, EXIF, or location metadata beyond what is intrinsic to the still frame you share with the app, and does NOT use the Vision framework or any other computer-vision pipeline on your photos.

What stays on your device

• Your loop entries (the still image data extracted from the Live Photo you picked, the Photos asset identifier that points back to the original Live Photo in your library, the brief description you typed, the four-line caption produced on-device, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the still 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.

The original Live Photo continues to live in your Photos library. Pink Loop keeps only the still frame plus the identifier so it can re-fetch the animated Live Photo for playback when you open an entry. Pink Loop 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 Loop has stored.

On-device language model (Apple Intelligence)

The four-line caption is generated by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, accessed through the public LanguageModelSession API on iOS 26. The model executes on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The brief description you typed is passed to the model in-process and never leaves the device. Pink Loop does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for this feature.

Caption generation is available only on Apple Intelligence-capable devices running iOS 26 (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or newer with the A17 Pro chip or later). On unsupported devices the loop still saves with the still and identifier, but the caption step is skipped.

Pink Loop does NOT use Image Playground or any other generative image model. The visual content of every loop is the real Live Photo you picked; nothing about the image is synthesized or altered.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Loop Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows today's loop count. The widget reads only the count and the timestamp of the most recent entry from an App Group container on your device. No image data is 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 Loop 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 Loop 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 Loop 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.
