Privacy Policy
Overview
Photocards ("we", "us", or "our") is a photo card creation app for iPhone and iPad. We are deeply committed to your privacy. This policy describes exactly what data exists in relation to the app and why.
No Personal Data Collected
Photocards does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information about its users. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Your name, email address, or any account credentials
- Your photos or the cards you create — these never leave your device
- Your location, contacts, or any device identifiers
- Any payment or billing information (purchases are handled entirely by Apple)
Optional: Community Templates
The app includes an optional feature that allows users to share card templates (layouts, not personal photos or content) with the community. This feature:
- Is opt-in — it is off by default and must be explicitly enabled in the app's Settings
- Can be disabled at any time from Settings, which stops any further sharing
- Shares only the abstract template structure — no photos, no personal text, no identifiable information
- Shared templates are fully anonymized; they cannot be traced back to you
iCloud Sync
Photocards supports iCloud to let you access your templates and cards across your own Apple devices. Important details:
- iCloud sync is optional and controlled entirely by your device's iCloud settings
- Data synced via iCloud is shared only between your own devices signed in to the same Apple ID
- We have no access to your iCloud data — it is managed exclusively by Apple under their privacy policy
In-App Purchases
Premium subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.
Children's Privacy
Because we do not collect any personal data, Photocards is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change how the app handles data, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where required, notify users within the app. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
