The short version. Photo Drafter has no accounts and no server of its own. Your photos, tracings, dimensions and drawings are created and stored on your iOS device and are never uploaded to us. The only data that leaves your device goes to Google (to show ads in the free version) and to RevenueCat (to check whether your subscription is active). We do not sell or share your personal information.
This policy explains what Photo Drafter (“the app”, “we”, “us”) does with information when you use it on iOS.
Everything you make. Specifically:
None of this is transmitted to us or to anyone else. Edge detection and tracing run entirely on your device as ordinary image processing — there is no AI service, no upload, and no network request involved. The app works with no internet connection at all, apart from ads and the subscription check described below.
When you export a drawing as PDF, PNG, JPG or DXF, the file is created on your device and handed to the system share sheet. Where it goes from there — Files, email, Drive, a message — is your choice, and this policy does not cover what those services do with it.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera | To take a photo of a part, only when you choose the camera. Images go straight into the app; nothing is recorded in the background. |
| Photo library | To let you pick an existing photo, and to save an exported drawing if you ask for that. |
| Tracking | Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. Answering “Ask App Not to Track” is fine — see below. |
| Internet | To request ads (free version) and to check the status of a subscription. Not used for anything you draw. |
The free version shows a banner and an occasional full-screen ad before an export. These are served by Google AdMob. To do that, Google receives information from your device, which typically includes:
Google uses this to select ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to detect fraudulent clicks. We never receive your identifiers, and we cannot connect an ad to a person. What we see from Google is aggregate earnings.
Google's own explanation of what it collects is at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and its privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
Payment is handled entirely by the App Store. We never see your card details, billing address, or the email address on your the App Store account.
To know whether ads should be switched off, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription management service. RevenueCat receives:
This identifier is generated on your device and is not shown to you anywhere in the app. It means we have no way to look you up by name or email address — if you contact us about a purchase, the order ID on your App Store purchase confirmation is what lets us find the transaction.
RevenueCat's privacy policy is at revenuecat.com/privacy.
Photo Drafter is a tool for technical drawing and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help have it removed.
Your projects stay on your device until you delete them in the app, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app — at which point they are gone, and we cannot recover them for you. Export anything you need to keep.
Records held by Google and RevenueCat are retained under their own policies, linked above.
We are based in Canada. Google and RevenueCat process data on servers in the United States and elsewhere, so the limited information described in sections 3 and 4 may be handled outside your country, under that country's laws.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to withdraw consent, or to object to certain processing. This includes rights under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Because we hold nothing that identifies you, the practical route is usually one of the following, and we will help with either:
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the current version always lives at this address.
