1. About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Photurn iOS app handles information. In this policy, “Photurn,” “we,” and “us” refer to the Photurn app and its developer.
Photurn does not require an account and does not operate a server that receives your reports, photos, recordings, or usage activity.
2. Information you add to Photurn
You may add content such as property photos, annotations, photo notes, report titles, property addresses, client details, company details, logos, and PDF documents received from other apps.
This content is stored locally in Photurn’s app container on your device. Finished PDFs and documents shared to Photurn may also be placed in Photurn folders visible through Apple’s Files app. We do not receive or collect this content.
3. Device permissions and system features
- Camera: used only when you choose to take a photo for a report.
- Photos: Photurn uses Apple’s system photo picker. The app receives only the items you select and does not request access to browse your entire photo library.
- Microphone: used only when you start voice input for a photo note.
- Files and sharing: used when you import, open, export, or share a document at your direction.
You can review or change camera and microphone access at any time in iOS Settings.
4. Voice notes and Apple Intelligence
When you use voice input, Photurn uses Apple’s speech frameworks to turn microphone audio into text. Photurn processes the live audio stream for transcription and does not save an audio recording or upload it to a Photurn server.
If you enable “Polish with Apple Intelligence,” the transcribed text is rewritten into a clearer, factual note using Apple’s system language model on the device. You can review and edit the result before saving it.
iOS may download speech or language-model assets needed for these system features. Those downloads are managed by Apple, not Photurn. Your use of Apple services is also subject to Apple’s own privacy terms.
5. Data collection, advertising, and tracking
Photurn does not include advertising SDKs, third-party analytics, cross-app tracking, or developer-operated telemetry. We do not sell personal information and do not use your content to build advertising profiles or train our own models.
Photurn may read limited device information required for ordinary app functions, such as local preferences, file timestamps, and available storage. This information is used on the device and is not sent to us.
6. When information leaves the app
Your content leaves Photurn only when you choose an external action, such as sharing a PDF, saving a file to another location, or sending feedback by email. The app or service you select then handles that information under its own privacy policy.
If you email us, we receive your email address and any information you include in the message. We use it only to respond, investigate the issue, and improve Photurn. We retain correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes or as required by law.
7. Retention and deletion
App-managed reports and their source photos remain on your device until you delete them, use Settings → Clear all data, or uninstall Photurn.
Files you exported, moved, copied, or shared outside Photurn must be deleted from their destination separately. Documents in the “Shared with Photurn” folder can be deleted from Photurn’s Files tab or Apple’s Files app. Device backups are controlled by your Apple and device settings.
8. Security
Photurn relies on iOS app sandboxing and Apple’s platform security to protect locally stored content. No method of storage is completely secure, so you should protect your device with a passcode and use care when sharing reports that contain personal or property information.
9. Children’s privacy
Photurn is a professional productivity tool and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when Photurn’s features or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the latest version. If a change materially affects how the app handles information, we will provide an appropriate notice.
