Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

§1The short version

PiePix has no account, no login, and makes no network calls of its own. Everything the app does — analyzing your photo library, tracking your cleanup stats, remembering your mascot's wardrobe — happens and stays entirely on your device. Nothing about your photos, your usage, or your device is ever sent to us or to any third party, except in the two specific cases below, and both require you to actively choose to send something.

§2What PiePix accesses on your device, and why

• Photos & Videos. With your permission (the standard iOS Photos permission prompt), PiePix reads your photo library's metadata (dates, file sizes, dimensions) to build the storage chart, and can create, modify, or delete items when you choose to — every deletion, favorite toggle, or metadata edit goes through Apple's own Photos framework and shows Apple's own system confirmation. PiePix never uploads your photos or videos anywhere; media only ever leaves your device when you personally choose to export it to a drive you pick, or share it via the system share sheet.
• Storage & device info. PiePix reads on-device storage capacity (via iOS's own APIs) to show how full your device is. This never leaves your device.
• Widgets. The home-/lock-screen widgets read a small snapshot of your stats (bytes freed, streak, mascot's outfit) from a container shared between the app and the widget, both on your device. This data never leaves your device either.

§3What PiePix stores, and where

Your cleanup stats, mascot progress, day labels/favorites, and preferences are saved in small files in the app's private storage on your device (Application Support). None of this is backed up to any server we control, synced to an account, or accessible to us. Deleting the app deletes all of it.

§4Diagnostics (opt-in, local-only until you export)

If you enable "Share anonymized diagnostics" in Settings, PiePix keeps a local log of crashes and a few app events, purely to help you (or, if you send it to us, help us) understand something that went wrong. This log:

• Is off by default.
• Never transmits automatically — it stays on your device until you explicitly tap Export, at which point the system share sheet lets you choose where it goes (e.g. attach it to an email to us).
• Contains no photo content — only app-usage events and crash traces.

§5Sending us feedback

Settings → Help Center → Send Feedback opens your own Mail app (or your device's default mail handler), pre-addressed to us and pre-filled with your message plus your app version, iOS version, and recent crash count — so you don't have to type that by hand. You send this yourself, through your own mail account; PiePix has no server that receives it directly. Whatever you type, plus that small context block, is what gets sent. We use it only to respond to you and improve the app.

§6In-app purchases

PiePix Pro subscriptions and the lifetime unlock are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store's payment system (StoreKit). We never see or store your payment information — Apple handles billing, and Apple's own privacy policy governs that transaction data.

§7Third parties

PiePix includes no third-party analytics SDKs, no advertising networks, and no tracking libraries of any kind. The only "third party" involved anywhere in this app is Apple itself, via standard iOS frameworks (Photos, StoreKit, WidgetKit) and, if you choose to email us, your own mail provider.

§8Children's privacy

PiePix is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children, in keeping with everything above (we don't collect anything from anyone, of any age, unless you send it to us yourself).

§9Your rights / control

Because PiePix doesn't collect or store your data on any server we operate, there is generally nothing on our end to request, correct, or delete beyond what you may have sent us directly (e.g. a feedback email or an exported diagnostics file) — email us at anth.xony@icloud.com and we'll delete any such correspondence on request. Everything stored on your device is under your control at all times: delete the app, and it's gone.

§10Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.

§1PiePix Pro — subscriptions & purchases

PiePix offers an optional Pro tier, unlocking Export to Drive, Storage Explorer, full duplicate/blurry-photo scans, and video compression. Everything else in PiePix remains free with no time limit.

For the Monthly and Yearly plans:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period and price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price you agreed to at purchase (or the then-current price, if it has changed and you were notified in advance per App Store policy).
• You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device, or via the "Manage Subscription" button in PiePix's own Settings tab. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund the current period.
• No refund is issued for the unused portion of a period if you cancel mid-cycle.

The Lifetime purchase is a one-time payment with no recurring charge, and unlocks Pro features for as long as you use PiePix.

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store; refund requests go through Apple, not us — see support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084.

§2License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use PiePix on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal use, subject to Apple's standard usage rules in the App Store Terms of Service.

§3Your content

You retain full ownership of your photos, videos, and any content you create or manage using PiePix. We claim no rights to it — see the Privacy Policy above for exactly what the app does and doesn't do with it (short version: it never leaves your device except when you personally choose to export or share it).

§4Acceptable use

Don't reverse-engineer, decompile, or redistribute PiePix outside of what Apple's platform allows; don't use it in a way that violates applicable law.

§5No warranty

PiePix is provided "as is." We make reasonable efforts to keep it working correctly, but we don't guarantee it will be error-free or uninterrupted. In particular, deleting media is a real, permanent action performed through Apple's own Photos framework (with Apple's own confirmation dialog) — we're not responsible for content you choose to delete.

§6Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of PiePix. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, if any.

§7Termination

We may discontinue PiePix or any feature at any time. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device.

§8Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

§9Changes

We may update these terms; continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
