Privacy Policy

Curator — Photo Manager

Effective date: 1 April 2026

Curator is built around a simple principle: your photos stay on your device. This policy explains exactly what data the app accesses, what leaves your device, and what doesn't.

Who we are

Curator is developed by Oscar [your surname], based in Switzerland. For privacy-related questions, you can reach us at privacy@[yourdomain].com.

What the app accesses on your device

Your photos and metadata — Curator reads your photo library (via Apple's PhotoKit framework) to detect duplicates, find similar photos, and help you create albums. All analysis — including AI-powered image comparison using a CLIP neural network and perceptual hashing — runs entirely on your device. No photos, thumbnails, image data, or metadata are ever transmitted off your device.

When you publish an album, Curator writes it to your iOS Photos library using PhotoKit. This stays on your device (unless you separately sync your photo library to iCloud — that's between you and Apple).

What data leaves your device

Data Purpose Recipient
Anonymous device identifier Purchase management and receipt validation RevenueCat
Purchase receipt (via Apple) Verify your one-time purchase Apple / RevenueCat

RevenueCat is our in-app purchase provider. It receives a device identifier and purchase receipt to manage your unlock status. RevenueCat does not receive any photo data, usage behaviour, or personal information. Their privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.

What we do not collect

On-device data storage

Curator stores scan results, album drafts, and your review decisions locally on your device. This data is used to avoid re-scanning your library each time you open the app. It never leaves your device and is removed if you delete the app.

Children's privacy

Curator does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app does not include age-restricted content.

Your rights under GDPR and Swiss data protection law

Because Curator does not collect or store personal data on any server, most data-subject rights (access, deletion, portability) are already satisfied by design — your data is on your device, under your control.

For the limited data processed by RevenueCat on our behalf, you have the right to request access, correction, or deletion. Contact us at the email above and we will facilitate your request with RevenueCat.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or your local supervisory authority.
