Privacy policy

Operator and contact

Phayen is provided by 蔺路逍. For privacy questions or access, correction and deletion requests, contact hello.phayen@gmail.com.

Images, video and edit records

Camera input, recorded audio, imported or captured media, development recipes and rendered images are processed and stored on your device for capture, editing and export. The app does not automatically upload images or video for analytics, advertising or model training. A Phayen account is not required.

Camera access enables capture. Microphone access records video and Live Photo sound. Photos permissions let you add copies to Photos and, when you choose, update or delete copies saved by the app. Denying an optional permission does not disable unrelated features.

Optional capture location

Location tagging is enabled by default on a new installation. The app requests location access while in use; you can deny permission or turn it off in camera options without stopping core capture. It updates available fixes while the camera is active in the foreground and saves a location snapshot when a photo or video capture starts. It does not continuously track location in the background.

Coordinates, altitude, fix time and accuracy may be written into media metadata and remain in exported or shared files. Turning tagging off does not remove location from existing files. If you choose to view a capture location in Maps, the coordinates are sent through a link to Apple Maps.

Device motion and local diagnostics

Device motion supports the level and orientation tools and is processed on device. The app keeps limited local performance and troubleshooting records. It does not automatically transmit these logs to us.

The system may clear diagnostic caches. We receive logs or screenshots only if you choose to send them to support; inspect them and remove private details first.

Purchases and the photo experience

Apple In-App Purchase processes Pro purchases. The app reads verified transactions, subscription expiry and Family Sharing status to determine access. The local Keychain stores trial usage, identifiers of counted works, exploration rewards and last confirmed access. Keychain records may survive uninstalling to restore state and avoid counting a work twice. This does not upload photographs. We do not receive full card details or Apple Account passwords.

Apple handles account, payment and store transaction information under its policies. If an account system, server verification or analytics is added later, this notice will be updated before activation and consent obtained where required.

Photos, backups and sharing

Copies in Photos may sync according to your iCloud Photos settings. App data may also be included in enabled system device backups. Storage, restoration and removal are controlled by those Apple services and your settings. This should not be read as a promise that data never leaves your device.

When you send a file to another app or recipient using system sharing, that recipient handles the copy under its own rules. We do not automatically receive or control those copies.

Support email and website visits

Your email address, message and any voluntarily supplied material are used to reply, troubleshoot and handle your request. Mail provider: Google Gmail; storage region: Google global infrastructure; no region pinned by Phayen. Do not send unrelated identity documents, credentials or private photographs.

This website embeds no advertising, analytics scripts, third-party fonts or tracking cookies. To serve pages, protect the service and troubleshoot, the host may process IP addresses, visit times, browser information and requested paths. Host: Cloudflare Pages; region: Service infrastructure; no storage region selected by Phayen.

Retention, deletion and choices

You manage local media. Delete media in the app and manage Photos copies and backups separately. Uninstalling may remove originals that have not been exported; save anything you need first.

Revoke camera, microphone, Photos or location permission in system settings, or turn off location tagging in the app. Revocation does not undo prior processing and may disable the relevant feature.

Support material is retained only as needed to resolve your request and fulfil necessary obligations, then deleted or anonymized. Information required by law is retained only for that purpose. Contact support to request access, correction or deletion of submitted information, or to ask about processing. We do not sell personal information or use cross-app advertising tracking.

Children and updates

Minors should use devices and purchasing features under a guardian’s supervision. Do not send children’s personal information unrelated to a support request.

We will update the effective date if processing changes and obtain any required consent before new processing begins. This notice does not limit rights granted by applicable law.
