Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Reflect is a voice journal. You speak; the app transcribes you on your device using Apple's on-device Speech framework, and an on-device language model writes a single reflective question shaped to what you said. Nothing you speak leaves your phone. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. 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 Reflect is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Voice and audio

When you start a reflection, the app records up to 60 seconds of audio from your microphone and feeds it to SFSpeechRecognizer with requiresOnDeviceRecognition set to true. Transcription happens entirely on-device.

The audio buffer is discarded the moment transcription completes, unless you explicitly save the entry. Saved entries store the text transcript and the model's reflective question; they do not store the original audio.

We never send your audio, your transcript, or the model's question to any server we operate, to Apple, or to any third party.

On-device language model

The reflective question is generated by Apple's Foundation Models framework using a language model that runs entirely on your device's Neural Engine (requires an A17 Pro chip or newer). On older devices, the app falls back to a curated rotation of pre-written reflective questions; it never falls back to a cloud language model.

Third-party AI processors: NONE

Pink Reflect uses ONLY Apple's on-device frameworks for every AI-adjacent step. The app does not call, send data to, share metadata with, or otherwise involve any third-party AI processor, cloud language model, or external speech-to-text service. No third-party AI inference endpoint is contacted at any point in the recording, transcription, or reflection flow.

Speech recognition is SFSpeechRecognizer with requiresOnDeviceRecognition = true, which Apple enforces at the framework level — the call returns an error before it would ever fall back to a cloud recognizer. The reflective question is generated by Apple's Foundation Models framework (LanguageModelSession) which runs on the Neural Engine of A17 Pro and newer devices; older devices fall back to a curated rotation of pre-written questions, never to a cloud LLM. No data processing agreement with any third-party AI provider is required because no third-party AI provider is involved.

You can verify this end-to-end by switching your iPhone to Airplane Mode and recording a reflection: transcription, the reflective question, and on-device storage all continue to work with zero bytes of network traffic from Pink Reflect. The only network access the app ever needs is to Apple's StoreKit servers when you tap Subscribe or Restore Purchases.

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 audio leaves the device. Ever.
• No transcript leaves the device. Ever.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar, no photos access.

What stays on your device

• Saved reflections (transcript + model question + timestamp), stored in SwiftData on your device.
• 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.
• Your preference for Face ID lock on saved entries, if enabled.

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

Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions

The first time you start a reflection, iOS will ask for permission to access the microphone and to use Speech Recognition. Both permissions are required for the app's core function. You can revoke either at any time in iOS Settings > Pink Reflect; if you do, the recording flow will stop working until permission is restored.

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 Reflect 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. Your saved reflections are personal to your device and are not shared with other family members.

Children

Pink Reflect 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 Reflect does not collect data on our servers, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any audio, transcript, or generated question leaving the device, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists, and the on-device posture is a deliberate product commitment.
