Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
Introduction
BlurQ ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the BlurQ mobile application (the "App").
Key Principle: BlurQ is designed with privacy at its core. All photo processing happens on your device, and we do not collect, store, or transmit any of your photos or personal data.
Information We Do NOT Collect
BlurQ does not collect, store, access, or transmit:
Information We May Collect
Subscription Information (via Apple)
When you purchase a subscription through the App Store, Apple processes the transaction. We receive only:
- Subscription status (active/expired/cancelled)
- Subscription type (monthly, yearly, or lifetime)
- Transaction validation tokens (for verification only)
Important: We do NOT receive:
- • Your payment information
- • Your Apple ID
- • Your billing address
- • Any personal identifying information
How Your Data is Processed
On-Device Processing Only
All photo processing happens entirely on your device. We use advanced on-device technology to detect faces and apply blur effects without any data leaving your iPhone.
Your photos never leave your device. We do not:
- • Upload photos to our servers (we don't have servers)
- • Send photos to third-party services
- • Store photos outside your device's photo library
- • Access your photos except when you explicitly select them
Data Storage
Local Storage Only
BlurQ stores the following on your device only:
- App Preferences: Your selected appearance mode (light/dark/auto)
- Subscription Status: Whether you have an active Pro subscription
- Onboarding State: Whether you've completed the initial tutorial
No Cloud Storage
BlurQ does not use:
- • iCloud storage
- • Remote servers or databases
- • Third-party cloud services
Third-Party Services
Apple App Store
BlurQ uses the Apple App Store for in-app purchases and subscriptions. Apple's Privacy Policy governs how they handle purchase information.
No Other Third Parties
BlurQ does NOT integrate with:
- • Analytics services (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
- • Advertising networks
- • Social media platforms
- • Data brokers or aggregators
- • Any other third-party SDKs or services
Children's Privacy
BlurQ does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app is designed to be safe for users of all ages. Because we do not collect any personal information, there is no risk to children's privacy.
Your Rights
Because BlurQ does not collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) do not apply. However:
- You can delete the app at any time to remove all local preferences
- You can manage your subscription through the App Store
- You control which photos the app can access through iOS permissions
