Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 13, 2026

PixelGuard is built to work privately on your iPhone. In normal app use, AIXion does not receive your photos, metadata, or app usage data.

Data Controller

1. Core Privacy Promise

PixelGuard processes photo metadata locally on-device. We do not operate a cloud photo pipeline, and we do not upload your photo files, EXIF data, or cleaned images to AIXion servers.

2. Data AIXion Receives

• Normal app use: none. No account creation, no analytics events, no ad IDs, and no tracking SDKs.
• Subscriptions: Apple handles billing. We only receive limited StoreKit entitlement status (for example, whether Pro is active).
• Support email (optional): if you contact support, we receive your email address, message, and anything you attach.

3. What Stays on Your Device

• Selected photos and metadata analysis/cleaning operations.
• Your in-app preferences (for example, whether to keep originals when cleaning).
• Free-tier daily usage counter used to apply the 3 cleans/day limit.

AIXion does not receive these on-device items.

4. Permissions

PixelGuard requests Photo Library access only so you can select and save photos. Permission is optional, but without it the app cannot clean selected photos. You can change access any time in iOS Settings.

5. No Tracking, No Ads, No Data Sale

PixelGuard does not run behavioral analytics, advertising SDKs, fingerprinting, or cross-app tracking. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.

6. Third Parties

• Apple: App Store, StoreKit purchases, and subscription management.
• Email provider: only when you voluntarily contact support by email.

7. Retention

• Photos and metadata: not retained by AIXion because they are not sent to us.
• Support emails: retained only as needed to handle support and legal obligations.
• Subscription entitlement status: retained only as needed to provide Pro access and resolve billing support issues.

8. Privacy Rights

Because PixelGuard is designed for zero data collection in normal use, we usually do not hold personal data about you unless you emailed support. If you want access or deletion of support communications, email support@pixel-guard.com with subject line "Privacy Request".

This applies across regions, including California and EEA/UK users: we do not sell personal information and we do not profile users for ads.

9. Children's Privacy

PixelGuard is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

10. Security

Local processing is the main security design choice in PixelGuard. Keeping photos on-device reduces external data exposure.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy when product or legal requirements change. The latest version is always posted on this page.
