Privacy Policy

Your photos. The App is a local photo editor. Photos and edits you import or create are processed and stored on your device. We do not transmit, receive, or store your photos on our servers.

Device permissions. With your permission, the App may access:

• Camera — to capture new photos when you choose to shoot inside the App.
• Photo Library — to import existing photos and save finished work back to your library.

We do not access your contacts, location, microphone, browsing history, or other sensitive data.

Information you give us directly. If you contact us (e.g., by email for support), we receive what you choose to share — such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Automatic information. We do not collect analytics, device identifiers, advertising IDs, or usage telemetry.

In-app purchases and subscriptions. If the App offers purchases or subscriptions (e.g., HuePhoto Premium), transactions are processed by Apple via the App Store.

• Financial data — All payments and billing are managed entirely by Apple. We never collect, see, or store your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or Apple ID credentials.
• Transaction and entitlement records — Through Apple's StoreKit API, we receive only anonymized purchase receipts, transaction IDs, product identifiers, and subscription status (active/expired dates). This information is used strictly to unlock your premium features, facilitate purchases restoration (Restore Purchases), and provide customer support.
• No third-party sharing — We never sell or share your purchase or subscription records with third parties, nor do we use them for advertising or cross-app tracking.

• To operate, maintain, and improve the App;
• To respond to your support requests;
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues;
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, sell data to third parties, or track you across other apps and websites.

Your photos and edits stay on your device until you delete them — either inside the App, via your Photos app, or by uninstalling. Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data.

Email and other messages you send us are retained only as long as needed to resolve your request, then deleted — unless retention is required by law.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it only:

• With service providers who help us operate (e.g., email hosting) — under contractual confidentiality obligations;
• When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). These may include the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you;
• Correct or delete that information;
• Withdraw consent to processing;
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Because the App is local-first and we collect minimal personal information, most rights can be exercised simply by uninstalling the App. For anything else, email us at [support@huephoto.app].

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

If you access the App from outside [JURISDICTION / Country or Region], your information is processed in accordance with this policy. Because processing is local to your device, cross-border transfer concerns are minimal.

We use reasonable measures to protect information that does reach us (such as support emails). However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. Your photos never leave your device unless you choose to share them.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. For material changes, we will update the date prominently or notify you inside the App.
