Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how MetaPic (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use the MetaPic iOS app.
1. Overview
MetaPic is built for on-device photo privacy checks and editing. Metadata review and cleanup, watermarking, compression, format conversion, resizing, and password-based encryption or decryption all run locally on your device.
You do not need an account to use these features.
2. Information Processed on Your Device
Depending on the features you use, MetaPic may temporarily access or process:
- Photos and image files you choose
- Embedded metadata (such as GPS, capture time, device model, and software tags) for privacy analysis and cleanup
- Watermark text or logo images you provide
- Passwords you enter to encrypt or decrypt .metapic files
- Processed outputs stored in temporary cache before you save or share them
These materials stay on your device unless you deliberately save them to Photos or share them through the system share sheet or another app you choose.
3. Photos Access
MetaPic requests access to your photo library only so you can:
- Select photos to analyze or edit
- Save processed results to Photos when you tap save
We do not upload your photo library to our servers as part of these local tools.
4. Encrypted Files
When you encrypt a photo, MetaPic creates a new .metapic file protected with a password you set. The original photo is not overwritten.
Decryption requires the correct password and is performed locally. We cannot recover a forgotten password.
5. Purchases and Premium
If you buy MetaPic Premium (a one-time purchase to remove ads), payment is processed by Apple.
We receive purchase entitlement status through StoreKit so the app can unlock Premium. We do not receive your full payment card details.
6. Ads and Tracking
MetaPic may show ads unless you unlock Premium. Ad delivery and related measurement are handled by Apple or advertising partners under Apple’s rules and your device tracking settings.
We do not sell your personal information.
7. Storage and Retention
Processed outputs are written to temporary cache by default and may be cleared when the app restarts or when the system frees storage.
Items you save to Photos remain under your control in the Photos app. We do not operate a MetaPic cloud account that stores your photos for these local features.
8. Children
MetaPic is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in your region. Do not use the app if you are under the applicable age.
9. Your Choices
You can revoke Photos access in iOS Settings, delete processed files you no longer need, and uninstall the app at any time. Uninstalling removes the app’s local data on that device.
10. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of MetaPic after an update means you accept the revised policy.
