Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 10, 2026 Β· Applies to the BrainScan iOS app ("BrainScan Pixel Retro").
Your photos never leave your device
- Face detection and all analysis run 100% on your device using Apple's Vision framework.
- Your photo is processed in memory and discarded immediately. It is never uploaded, never written to disk by us, and never shared with anyone.
- Scan history stores only a derived number (a "seed"), the date, your chosen theme and any name you type β no image data. It lives on your device only and you can delete entries at any time.
Outline sketches β optional, and only if you say yes
Because no photo is kept, every scan in your gallery would otherwise look like another purple brain. So BrainScan can keep one small outline sketch per scan: a 240Γ240 line drawing generated on your device from the same image, before that image is discarded, purely so you can tell your own scans apart.
- Off until you agree. The app asks once, in plain words, the first time a scan finishes. Decline and no sketch is ever generated.
- A sketch is not your photo. It is an edge-detected line drawing; the original image is still discarded the moment the analysis ends.
- Stored only on your device, inside the app's own container. Never uploaded, never attached to statistics, never shared.
- Delete any time β Settings β Appearance β Delete all sketches, or by deleting the individual scan. Turning the switch off also offers to clear the ones already saved.
Anonymous usage statistics (optional)
To understand which features matter, the app sends first-party, anonymous counters (for example "a scan finished") to our own server. Each event contains: the event name, the app identifier, a coarse country derived at our edge network, and a temporary 12-character random session ID that expires after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- No account, no name, no email, no photos, no device fingerprint, no advertising ID. Stored data is not linked to your identity.
- No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Ever.
- You can turn statistics off in Settings β Anonymous Usage Stats. Off means nothing is sent, and any queued events are deleted.
Purchases
Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. See our Terms of Use for subscription specifics.
Notifications
BrainScan sends at most one local notification: a reminder on day 5 of your free trial, two days before it converts. There are no remote push notifications.
Children
BrainScan is an entertainment app and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Photos are never collected from any user.
