What stays on your device

Your game collections, captured and imported images, notes, solved status, artwork, and recognized text are stored locally on your device. Photovania does not require an account and does not upload your library to a developer-operated server.

Camera and photo access

The app requests camera permission when you use the camera. When you import photos, Apple’s photo picker lets you select the images you want to share with the app. Photovania stores a local copy of imported images for your library.

Text recognition

Photovania uses Apple’s Vision framework to recognize text on your device. Your images are not sent to a remote text-recognition service.

Artwork from a web address

If you choose to download artwork from a URL, Photovania connects to that address to retrieve the image. The image provider receives the network information needed to serve the request, such as your IP address, and may handle it under its own privacy policy. Photovania uses an ephemeral network session with cookies disabled for these downloads.

Analytics and advertising

Photovania does not include advertising, third-party analytics, or tracking SDKs. Apple may process App Store and diagnostic information according to your Apple settings and Apple’s policies.

Backups and deletion

Local app data may be included in device backups depending on your system settings. Photovania does not provide its own cloud synchronization service. You can delete captures and game collections in the app. Deleting an imported capture does not delete the original from your Photos library. Backups are managed separately through Apple’s tools.

If you contact me

If you email support, I receive your email address and whatever information or attachments you include. I use that information to respond and investigate the issue. Email is handled by the email providers involved; avoid including sensitive information that is not needed for your request.

Changes and questions

This policy will be updated if the app’s data practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision.
