Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 26, 2026

The developer of Exiframer (“App”) (“we” / “us”) is committed to respecting user privacy and protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in connection with the App.

Article 1 — Basic Policy

1. The App respects user privacy and handles only the minimum information necessary.
2. All image processing occurs on the user’s device, and photos and image data are never sent to external servers. However, GPS coordinates contained in a photo may be sent to Apple for reverse geocoding to convert them into place names.
3. The App has no proprietary user accounts or login features, and does not collect personally identifiable information.

Article 2 — Information Accessed by the App

The App accesses the following information to provide its features. This information is generally processed only on-device, but GPS coordinates may be sent to Apple for reverse geocoding as described in Section 2.2.

2.1 Photos and EXIF Data

• Image data of photos loaded by the user
• EXIF metadata in photos (camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, shooting date/time, GPS coordinates, etc.)

These are used solely to generate framed images and are processed entirely on-device. We do not collect, store, or transmit this data.

2.2 Location Information

• The App passes GPS coordinates from photo EXIF to the OS-provided reverse geocoding service (CoreLocation) to convert them to place names.
• We do not independently acquire or transmit user location data.
• Reverse geocoding requests are sent to Apple’s servers, so GPS coordinates may be transmitted to Apple. This is governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

2.3 Photo Library Access

• The App uses Apple’s PhotosUI framework for photo selection.
• Only photos explicitly selected by the user are accessed; no access to the full photo library is made.
• Write access is used only when saving batch-processed images to the photo library.

Article 3 — Data Stored on Device

The App stores the following data on the user’s device (UserDefaults). This data is not transmitted off-device.

• Default editing settings (style, font, font size, theme, etc.)
• Presets (saved settings combinations)
• Artist name and title (information entered by the user)
• App language setting (Japanese / English)
• Other app settings (date format, separator, etc.)

Article 4 — Third-Party Services

4.1 Apple App Store / StoreKit

Paid plan purchases and restoration are handled through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Purchase information is managed by Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy for details.

4.2 RevenueCat

The App may use RevenueCat for subscription management. Key data RevenueCat handles: anonymous app user IDs, purchase/subscription transaction data, and basic device information (OS version, etc.). See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy for details.

4.3 CoreLocation (Apple Reverse Geocoding)

As noted above, Apple’s system services are used to convert GPS coordinates to place names. These requests may be sent to Apple’s servers and are governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

4.4 Google Forms (Contact Inquiries)

The official website uses Google Forms, provided by Google LLC, for contact inquiries. Email addresses and inquiry content submitted through the contact form are stored on Google’s servers. For details, please see Google’s Privacy Policy.

Article 5 — Information Not Transmitted Externally

The App does not transmit the following externally:

• Photo image data loaded by the user
• EXIF data from photos (except GPS sent for reverse geocoding)
• Exported image data
• Settings data and presets stored on device
• Artist names and titles entered by the user

Article 6 — Personal Information

1. “Personal information” means information that can identify a specific individual, as defined under Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information.
2. As the App has no proprietary account registration or login, we do not directly collect personal information such as name, address, phone number, or email within the App.
3. For the purpose of responding to inquiries, we collect email addresses and the content of inquiries through the contact form. The collected information will be used solely for responding to and handling inquiries, and will not be used for any other purposes.
4. Artist names and titles entered by users are stored only on-device; we do not obtain them.
5. You have the right to request disclosure, correction, suspension of use, or deletion of personal information held by us (such as email addresses obtained through inquiries). Please submit such requests via the contact form. We will respond appropriately within the scope permitted by applicable law.
6. Personal information obtained through inquiries will be deleted within a reasonable period after the matter is resolved. We will not provide your personal information to third parties, except as required by law.

Article 7 — Cookies and Tracking

1. The App does not use cookies.
2. The App does not conduct proprietary tracking or access analysis.
3. App analytics provided by Apple’s App Store can be controlled in device Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

Article 8 — Use by Minors

1. We do not intentionally collect personal information from minors.
2. We recommend that minors use the App under parental supervision.
3. Age restrictions set by Apple apply to downloading the App, in accordance with the App Store's age rating policy.

Article 9 — Data Security

1. Data security depends on the user’s device security settings.
2. We recommend enabling a passcode and biometric authentication on your device.
3. Data stored in UserDefaults is protected by iOS’s standard app sandbox.
