1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains information handling for Komaa’s local photo and video tools and its app connections. The local photo features do not require you to sign in or send your photo library to our servers.
2. Photos and Videos
When you grant Photos permission, the app can access the items that iOS makes available to it. It uses those items for review, cleanup suggestions, visual matching, favorites, and deletion only after you confirm. Thumbnails, review decisions, visual matching, and video compression are processed on your device. Komaa’s local photo and video tools do not upload the media they process or library metadata to a developer server.
3. Camera, Microphone, and Photo Picker
When you tap Take a Photo, Komaa requests camera access and uses the camera to capture a visual reference. When you tap Record a Voice Note, it requests microphone access and stores the recording so you can play it back or delete it later. Choose from Photos uses Apple's photo picker for an item you select. These captures and notes are stored locally and are not uploaded to the developer's servers. These permissions are requested only after you choose the corresponding action.
4. Local App Records
Cleanup queues and app settings are saved locally on your device until you clear them, iOS removes them, or you delete the app. Review progress and Undo history are temporary and may reset when a screen is recreated or the app restarts. Undo changes queue entries; it does not restore media deleted from Photos.
5. Apple Services
Komaa uses Apple platform services such as Photos, Vision, and AVFoundation to read permitted media, compare images, save compressed copies, and carry out changes you confirm. Changes to Photos may sync through iCloud according to your Apple settings.
6. Connection Data
When Komaa connects to provide app functions or display legal pages, requests may include an app-specific identifier used to recognize this installation, the app version, operating system version, device model, language, time zone, IP address, and request time. The app-specific identifier is separate from Apple’s advertising identifier. These connection requests do not include the photo library, photo references, voice notes, or cleanup choices handled by Komaa’s local photo and video tools.
7. Retention and Security
Saved cleanup queues and app settings remain until cleared through applicable controls, removed by iOS, or deleted with the app. Temporary review progress and Undo history may end sooner. Apple retains information under its own policies. We rely on iOS platform protections, but no storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your Choices
You can grant full or limited Photos access, change access in iOS Settings, remove items from the cleanup queue, clear the queue without deleting media, decline a deletion confirmation, or stop using the app.
9. Children's Privacy
Komaa is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Updates and Contact
We may update this policy when the app or applicable requirements change. Questions may be sent to hello@komaa.app.
