Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Tint lets you pick one photo at a time from your own Photos library and pass it to Apple's on-device Image Playground through the sourceImage: parameter, along with a concept (watercolor, neon, and other style descriptors). Image Playground returns a whole-image style transfer, which Pink Tint saves alongside the source. The source image bytes, the stylized result, the concept string, and any short note you type 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 Tint 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 Tint 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 Tint requests Photos access (the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription permission) so that Apple's system PhotosPicker can show you photos to choose from. The permission is used only to read the single photo you explicitly pick through the system picker each time you tint.

Pink Tint 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 bytes you share with the app, and does NOT run any computer-vision pipeline on your photos of its own.

What stays on your device

• Your tint entries (the source PNG bytes from the photo you picked, the stylized PNG returned by Image Playground, the concept string you chose (for example “watercolor” or “neon”), an optional short note, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the PNG 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.

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

On-device Image Playground (Apple Intelligence)

The stylized image is produced by Apple's Image Playground, accessed through the public Image Playground API on iOS 26 with the sourceImage: parameter. The model executes on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The source image bytes you picked and the concept string are passed to the model in-process and never leave the device. Pink Tint does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for this feature.

Stylization 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 source photo can still be saved as a tint entry, but the Image Playground stylization step is unavailable.

Image Playground performs a whole-image style transfer on the photo you provided. Pink Tint does not let you generate images from a text prompt alone, and does not use any other generative image model. Every stylized result starts from a real photo you picked.

Storage and export

Both the source PNG and the stylized PNG are kept on your device so you can revisit a tint, compare, or export. Pro unlocks a higher-resolution export at 1024px (free entries are exportable at a smaller preview size). Exporting saves the image back into your own Photos library through the standard system save sheet; nothing is uploaded.

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 Tint 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 Tint 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 Tint 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.
