Privacy Policy
The short version: your videos and photos stay on your iPhone. Lynz has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Apart from checking your purchase, nothing leaves your iPhone, unless you share it yourself or use captions in a language your iPhone can't recognise on its own (see Speech recognition below).
This policy explains how the Lynz iPhone app ("Lynz", "we") handles information. Contact: lynz.app@hotmail.com.
Your videos and photos
Everything you record, edit or import in Lynz is stored in the app's own space on your iPhone. We never upload it, and we can't see it. It leaves your iPhone only when you choose to:
- Save to Photos: a copy goes to your Apple Photos library.
- Share: the iOS share sheet sends the file to the app or person you choose, under their own privacy terms.
- Files app: your library is visible in Files (On My iPhone › Lynz), where you can copy it, for example to iCloud Drive.
Your iPhone's own backup (iCloud Backup or a computer) may include the Lynz library, as with other apps. Deleting Lynz removes its library from your iPhone.
Permissions Lynz asks for
- Camera: to take photos and videos.
- Microphone: to record sound with videos, and for voiceovers. You can record video without it.
- Add to Photos: only when you save something to your Photos library.
- Speech recognition: only if you use automatic captions. Lynz uses Apple's speech recognition, on your iPhone whenever your iPhone supports the language. If it doesn't, iOS may send that audio to Apple to transcribe it, under Apple's Privacy Policy. Lynz itself never receives or keeps your audio elsewhere.
You can change these anytime in iOS Settings › Lynz.
Purchases
Lynz is paid, with a monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payments are made through Apple; we never see your card or bank details. To check that your purchase is active, Lynz uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives:
- your purchase and subscription history for Lynz, from Apple;
- a random identifier created by the app. It isn't your name, email or Apple ID;
- basic technical information needed to deliver the service, such as app version, iOS version, device type, country or storefront, and IP address.
This information is used only to unlock Lynz, restore your purchase and manage your subscription. It isn't used for advertising or tracking, and it isn't linked to your identity. RevenueCat keeps purchase records as long as needed to provide the service and to meet legal and tax obligations.
What Lynz does not do
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or crash-reporting services.
- No tracking across apps or websites, and no selling or sharing of personal data.
Children
Lynz doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children. Apart from the purchase information above, it doesn't collect personal information from anyone.
Your rights
You can see and delete everything Lynz keeps on your iPhone from within the app, or by deleting the app. To ask about, access or delete purchase information held by RevenueCat for Lynz, email lynz.app@hotmail.com. We'll respond within 30 days. If you're in Saudi Arabia, you have rights under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL); in the EU or UK, under the GDPR. We'll help you exercise them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it on this page and change the date at the top. Important changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
