Pixography Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Iterative Key LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in Pixography (the “app”). It applies to the app only. Our website is covered by the separate website privacy policy.
Pixography works entirely on your device, on iPhone and on Android. It does not require an account, never sends anything to a server operated by us, and does not use your data for advertising or profiling. On iPhone it does not connect to the internet at all. On Android, the subject effects use Google ML Kit (see below).
The camera
With your permission, the app uses the camera to show the viewfinder. Each frame is turned into pixel art on your device as you watch. Frames are not recorded, stored or sent anywhere; only the shots you take are kept.
Photos you pixelate
When you pixelate a photo, you pick it with the system photo picker. The app receives only the picture you chose and cannot see the rest of your photo library or gallery.
Subject effects
The Subject effects (Spotlight, Pop Out, Aura and Protect) find people, pets and things in the picture. On iPhone this uses Apple’s Vision framework, entirely on the device.
Google ML Kit (Android). On Android, finding the subject uses Google ML Kit, which runs on your phone. The images it processes are not sent anywhere. ML Kit may send Google technical information about how the feature performs, such as the device model, app version, and how the feature was used, as described in the Google Privacy Policy. Google Play services may also download the ML Kit model the first time it is needed.
Information stored on your device
The app stores the shots you take or develop in its private storage, which other apps cannot read, along with the photo behind each shot (so you can pixelate it again) and your current lens, effects and grid size. This information is never sent to us, and we have no way to see it.
Saving and sharing
Unless you turn off Also save new shots to Photos (on Android, Also save new shots to the gallery) in the roll, every new shot is also added to your photo library, and you can save any shot from the roll. On iPhone the app asks for permission to add photos only, and on Android it adds them to the gallery without any permission. Either way it cannot read your library. When you share a shot, it is handed to the app or service you choose through the system share sheet, and whatever happens next is between you and that app.
How we use and share information
We do not collect, use, sell, rent, or trade any information. The app has no analytics of its own, no crash reporting and no advertising. The only technical information that leaves the device is what Google ML Kit may send Google on Android, described above.
Your choices and rights
- You can turn camera or Photos access on or off at any time in your device’s settings.
- You can delete any shot from the app’s roll at any time.
- You can delete everything the app has stored by uninstalling it. Shots you saved to your photo library or shared stay there until you delete them.
Children’s privacy
The app is suitable for all ages. It has no chat, no accounts and no way to contact other people, and we do not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts to collect anything, we will update this policy on this page before that version is released and change the effective date above. If the changes are significant, we will also let you know in the app or in its store listing.
