StudioLens

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 15, 2026

StudioLens helps ceramic makers turn source photos of pottery and handmade objects into studio-style product images.

Information The App Uses

StudioLens may collect or process photos you select from your photo library, photos you capture with the camera, generated studio images, render metadata needed to complete image generation, a device installation identifier, App Attest signals, App Store transaction identifiers needed to verify subscriptions and prevent duplicate fulfillment, and operational logs and diagnostics needed to keep the service reliable.

How Information Is Used

• Generate studio images.
• Save generated images to your gallery and, when requested, to your photo library.
• Verify subscription purchases through Apple and RevenueCat.
• Track the monthly image quota included with your subscription.
• Prevent fraud, duplicate transaction fulfillment, and abusive automated use.
• Diagnose reliability problems and keep the service working.

StudioLens does not sell personal data and does not use this data for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

Photos And Generated Images

StudioLens sends selected photos, instructions and render settings to StudioLens servers and the configured AI services, currently fal.ai and OpenAI, for photo preparation, inspection and requested image generation. Preparation may start automatically after photo selection. App versions with the updated processing permission request your permission before these photo uploads. Successful generations are retained as hosted history: the submitted source photo, generated image, thumbnail, prompt and scene choices, generation identifier, creation time and provider correlation metadata. Hosted history is associated with an authenticated app installation identifier. Access requires installation authentication or an authorized recovery credential. Existing local-only images are not automatically uploaded by enabling recovery.

Do not upload photos you do not have the right to use.

Optional iCloud History Recovery

When you enable iCloud history recovery, StudioLens stores a random recovery credential in synchronized iCloud Keychain and a non-secret reference in iCloud key-value storage. Apple synchronizes these through your iCloud account. StudioLens also asks Apple's app-scoped CloudKit service for an account identifier and checks it locally to keep recovery credentials bound to the correct iCloud account. This identifier is hashed on the device and is not sent to StudioLens servers; StudioLens does not request your Apple account name or email through this check. StudioLens stores a hash of that credential linked to the installation whose hosted history it can read. Devices with the synced credential can recover those hosted generations. Images themselves are stored on StudioLens servers, not in this iCloud recovery mechanism. Recovery does not restore or transfer subscriptions or credits. Credentials remain valid until revoked; revocation disables future credential access and does not erase hosted history or images already on devices. Sync availability and timing depend on Apple and your device settings.

Generation Diagnostics

StudioLens records limited generation stages and fixed error categories with timestamps, event and render identifiers, app and OS versions, device model and diagnostic counts. Generation telemetry excludes image bytes, prompts, email addresses, raw crash reports and stack traces. Operational request logs may separately include network addresses and installation identifiers.

Purchases

StudioLens uses Apple In-App Purchase for subscriptions. Purchase processing is handled by Apple. StudioLens receives transaction information from Apple so the backend can verify the subscription through Apple and RevenueCat and apply the included monthly image quota.

Data Sharing

Data may be processed by service providers needed to operate the app, including Render for backend hosting and storage, fal.ai and OpenAI for AI processing, Apple for purchases, App Attest and optional iCloud recovery, RevenueCat for entitlement verification, and database/cache and operational logging providers. StudioLens does not sell personal data or use it for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

Retention

StudioLens is introducing a 90-day hosted-image retention policy. Automatic removal under that policy is not yet active. Until it takes effect, existing hosted copies remain stored. At activation, hosted images will expire 90 days after generation; existing images already older than 90 days will receive a 14-day download grace period. App versions supporting expiry will show an expiry date and a warning during the final seven days. Downloading a full generated image preserves a copy in StudioLens on that device when the hosted copy expires. Uninstalling the app may remove app-stored copies; export or Save to Photos provides a separate copy. Existing local-only images are preserved.

The hosted expiry applies to active StudioLens history storage. AI-provider files, image-derived caches, operational logs and hosting backups have separate handling. Render creates encrypted daily disk snapshots available for at least seven days; their maximum retention has not been confirmed. We do not promise immediate erasure of every backup or provider copy.

Generation telemetry is limited to 200 events per installation; events older than 30 days are pruned when new telemetry arrives. Dormant records need operational cleanup. Purchase, quota, security and revocation records may be retained as necessary for duplicate-fulfillment prevention, disputes, security, legal and platform obligations.

Children

StudioLens is not intended for children under 13.

Your Choices

You can choose not to grant camera or photo-library access, but image generation requires a source photo. In app versions with the updated processing permission, declining or withdrawing permission stops future photo processing requests; it does not automatically delete data previously submitted. You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID subscription settings.

Contact support to request deletion of hosted images and related data. Support must verify control of the relevant installation or recovery access; an email address alone is not proof of ownership. We will explain the verified deletion scope, any provider or backup limitations, and records retained for legal, security, purchase, dispute or platform obligations. Removing a local gallery item removes it from that device and hides it from later imports; it does not erase the hosted copy. Revoking recovery also does not erase hosted images.
