Privacy Policy
Photo Learner is a photography practice app made by Daria Leonova (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes. The short version: your photos and notes stay on your device and in your own iCloud account. We do not collect, see, sell, or share them.
What the app stores
To work, the app keeps the following information:
- Photos you add to a challenge, downsized to a small size for the journal.
- Notes and reflections you write after completing a challenge.
- Practice history: which challenges you completed and when, streaks, achievements, and daily usage counts used to apply the free-plan limit.
- Preferences: skill level, chosen categories, practice days, and reminder time.
All of this is stored locally on your device.
iCloud sync
If you are signed in to iCloud, the app uses Apple’s CloudKit to sync the data above between your own devices. It is stored in your private iCloud database, which is tied to your Apple Account and is not accessible to us. Apple’s handling of this data is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy. You can turn iCloud sync off for Photo Learner in the iOS Settings app under your Apple Account → iCloud.
What we do not collect
- We run no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
- We do not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, or device identifiers.
- We do not upload your photos or notes to any server we operate. We operate no servers.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
Camera and photo library
The app asks for camera or photo library access only when you choose to add a photo to a challenge. Access is used solely to bring that photo into the app. You can change these permissions at any time in the iOS Settings app.
Notifications
Practice reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. They do not involve any external service, and you can turn them off in the app’s settings or in iOS Settings.
Subscriptions and payments
Premium is an auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never receive your payment details. We only learn, through Apple’s StoreKit framework, whether the app currently has an active subscription, so that Premium features can be unlocked. Manage or cancel your subscription in iOS Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions.
Deleting your data
- In the app, go to Settings → Data to delete all completed challenges and their photos. If iCloud sync is on, the deletion syncs to your other devices.
- Deleting the app removes all its local data from that device.
- To remove synced data from iCloud, open iOS Settings → your Apple Account → iCloud → Manage Account Storage, choose Photo Learner, and delete its data.
Children
Photo Learner is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. The app collects no personal information from any user.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s data practices change, we will update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s App Store release notes.
