Curator — Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Curator ("the app"), developed by Oscar [your surname], based in Switzerland. By using the app, you agree to these terms.

What the app does

Curator helps you manage your iPhone photo library. It scans your photos on-device to find duplicates and similar images, and helps you organise photos into albums. All processing happens locally on your device.

Photo library access

Curator requires access to your photo library to function. You grant this through iOS permissions. The app reads your photos for analysis and can write albums to your library when you choose to publish them.

Photo deletion: When you confirm deletions through Curator, the app moves photos to your iPhone's "Recently Deleted" folder via iOS. Photos remain recoverable there for 30 days before iOS permanently removes them. Curator does not bypass this safety net. You are responsible for reviewing your deletion choices before confirming them.

Freemium model and purchase

Curator is free to use for photos taken in the last 30 days. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks access to your full photo library. This is a permanent, non-consumable purchase — there is no subscription and no recurring charge.

Purchases are processed through Apple's App Store. If you reinstall the app or switch devices, you can restore your purchase at no additional cost using the restore button in the app.

Refund requests are handled by Apple through their standard process, as Apple processes all App Store payments.

AI-powered features

Curator uses machine learning models (CLIP for image similarity, perceptual hashing for duplicate detection) to analyse your photos. These models run entirely on your device. No photos or analysis results are sent to any server.

AI analysis is not perfect. The app may occasionally flag photos as similar that you consider different, or miss similarities. Review suggestions are recommendations — you always make the final decision on what to keep or remove.

Your content

Your photos are yours. Curator does not claim any rights over your photos or metadata. The app accesses your library solely to provide its features and does not copy, transmit, or store your photos outside the app's local cache on your device.

Acceptable use

Use Curator for its intended purpose: managing your personal photo library. Don't attempt to reverse-engineer the app or extract its machine learning models.

Limitation of liability

Curator is provided "as is." While we take care to ensure the app works correctly, we cannot guarantee it will be error-free. In particular:

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Swiss or applicable law (such as liability for wilful misconduct).

Apple's standard EULA

Your use of Curator is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement. In case of conflict between these terms and Apple's EULA, Apple's EULA takes precedence to the extent required by Apple.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts at the developer's place of domicile in Switzerland, except where mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Changes take effect when posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
