Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Wave lets you pick a photo from your Photos library or capture one with the camera so Apple's on-device Vision framework can detect a human hand pose. The 21-joint hand skeleton it returns is rendered as a clean silhouette and saved with a label you choose (peace, wave, fist, and so on). The original photo is discarded as soon as detection finishes — only the joint coordinates and the rendered silhouette 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 Wave 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 audio recording.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.
• No facial recognition, no face landmarks, no person identification. Pink Wave only detects hand-pose joints.

Photos and Camera permissions

Pink Wave requests Photos access (the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription permission) so that the system picker can show you photos to choose from, and Camera access (the NSCameraUsageDescription permission) so you can capture a hand-pose photo in the moment. Both permissions are used only on the single image you explicitly pick or capture for a given wave entry.

Pink Wave does NOT scan your broader library, does NOT build an index of your photos, does NOT extract face data, EXIF, or location metadata, and does NOT record video. The camera is opened only when you tap to capture, and the still it returns is handed straight to the Vision framework on-device.

On-device hand-pose detection (Vision)

Pink Wave uses Apple's Vision framework, specifically VNDetectHumanHandPoseRequest, to estimate the 21 joint landmarks of a single hand in the image. The request runs entirely on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The image is held in memory only for the duration of the request and is then released; the source photo is not written to disk by Pink Wave and is not kept after the silhouette has been rendered.

What Pink Wave saves for each wave entry is the array of joint coordinates Vision returned, the gesture label you assigned (peace, wave, fist, open hand, thumbs-up, and so on), the rendered silhouette PNG drawn from those joints, and the created-at timestamp. The original picked or captured photo is discarded.

What stays on your device

• Your wave entries (the 21-joint coordinate array, the gesture label, the silhouette PNG rendered from those joints, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the silhouette 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 Wave has stored.

In-app purchases

Pink Wave is free for the first three wave entries lifetime. After that, you may subscribe (Monthly $4/month with a 14-day intro, Annual $25/year) or unlock the Lifetime tier ($59 one-time) to capture unlimited waves. The 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 Wave 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 Wave 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 Wave does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke Photos or Camera permission, use iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos or Camera. 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.
