Privacy Policy for Clip Lens

Last updated: January 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Clip Lens ("we", "us", or "the App") collects, uses, and discloses information about you. We believe in privacy by design. The App is designed to process your data locally on your device.

1. Data Collection and Processing

Clip Lens does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any external servers managed by us.

Image and OCR Data: The scanning and text recognition (OCR) process happens entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. We do not send your photos or the scanned text to any cloud server for processing.

Scanned History: Any text, codes (QR, Barcodes), or data (IBANs, URLs) you save in the App is stored locally on your device using SwiftData.

2. iCloud Synchronization

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, your scanned history is automatically synced across your devices using Apple’s CloudKit services.

This data is stored in your private iCloud container.
We (the developer) have no access to this data.
The data is encrypted and managed according to Apple’s iCloud Security and Privacy Overview.

3. Third-Party Libraries

We use the following open-source library to improve the App's functionality:

PhoneNumberKit: Used solely for validating and formatting phone numbers detected during the scanning process. This processing is performed locally on your device. No phone numbers are sent to external servers by this library.

We do not use any third-party analytics (like Firebase, Mixpanel) or crash reporting tools that track your behavior or collect device identifiers.

4. App Permissions

To function, the App requires the following permissions:

Camera: Used exclusively to scan text and codes in real-time. Video data is processed in temporary memory and is not recorded or saved to the Camera Roll unless you explicitly choose to do so (if such a feature is available).

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Data Controller: You are the controller of your own data. The App acts as a tool for local processing.
Data Processor: Apple Inc. acts as the processor for data stored in iCloud.
Since we do not collect or have access to your personal data, there is no data for us to delete, rectify, or export upon request. You have full control over your data within the App (e.g., deleting history items).

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we introduce features that change how we handle data (e.g., adding analytics or optional accounts), we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this policy.
