Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Wax does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. You pick one song from your Apple Music library through Apple's MusicKit. Pink Wax reads only the song title and artist name of the song you explicitly select, hands those two strings to Apple's on-device Foundation Models which invent a phantom album name and a short phantom album description, and then asks Apple's Image Playground to paint the cover. The cover image and the phantom album text both 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 Wax 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, no photos. The app does not access any sensor.
• No location, no contacts, no calendar. The app does not request any sensitive iOS permission.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

Apple Music access (MusicKit)

Pink Wax asks for read-only access to your Apple Music library through Apple's MusicKit framework. The system permission prompt is described by NSAppleMusicUsageDescription in the app's Info.plist. If you decline, the rest of the app still works — you simply cannot pick today's song from your library.

When the permission is granted, Pink Wax reads only the song title and artist name of the track you explicitly tap to choose as today's song. The app does not browse your library in the background, does not enumerate playlists, and does not read play counts, ratings, or any other library metadata. Your listening history is not retained by Pink Wax.

What stays on your device

Pink Wax stores each generated cover in an on-device SwiftData record called AlbumCoverEntry. Each entry contains:

• songTitle — the title of the song you picked.
• artistName — the artist of the song you picked.
• phantomAlbumName — the invented album name produced by Apple's on-device Foundation Models.
• phantomDescription — the short phantom album description produced by the same on-device model.
• coverImageData — the painted cover image, saved with SwiftData's @Attribute(.externalStorage) so the bytes live in the app's sandbox, not inside the database file.
• createdAt — the date the cover was generated, used to build the year wall PDF.

A small amount of session state also lives on-device: the date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window) and a flag for whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged. Both live in UserDefaults.

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

Apple Intelligence (Foundation Models and Image Playground)

The phantom album name and description are generated by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, accessed through the public LanguageModelSession API on iOS 26. The cover image itself is painted by Apple's Image Playground. Both run on your iPhone's Neural Engine. The song title and artist name you selected are passed to those frameworks in-process and never leave the device. The app does not use Apple's Private Cloud Compute fallback for either step; there is no cloud generation path.

Cover generation is available only on Apple Intelligence-capable devices running iOS 26 or later with an A17 Pro chip or newer (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, or newer). On older devices, the app still installs but the cover generation step is unavailable.

In-app purchases

The free tier includes three lifetime covers. Pro unlocks unlimited covers, the full year wall PDF export, 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 Wax 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 Wax 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 Wax 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, simply delete the app.

Changes

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