Privacy Policy
How LumaFold handles your camera, photos, saved work and purchases.
Who we are and what this policy covers
TypeSwitch (“we”, “us”, or “our”) provides LumaFold (the “App”). The legal application provider is identified on the App’s App Store listing. Contact support@typeswitch.net for privacy questions or requests.
This policy covers the App and support correspondence about it. It describes the current App, which works primarily on your device and has no TypeSwitch registration or cloud-content service. It does not describe unrelated TypeSwitch products.
Privacy at a glance
- No account required. You do not register or provide your name or email to use the App.
- Local content processing. Camera previews, selected photos and drawings are not uploaded to TypeSwitch servers.
- No ads or cross-app tracking. The App includes no advertising SDK or third-party analytics SDK and does not access the advertising identifier.
- Apple handles purchases. We do not receive your card number or Apple Account password.
- Support is optional. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send.
Camera and live mirror
The App asks for camera permission when you use a live mirror feature. Camera frames are processed on your device to display a live, mirrored preview. The App does not record or save camera photos or videos, transmit camera frames to us, identify faces, or create biometric profiles.
The App does not request microphone access or record audio. You can decline camera permission and use light and other features that do not require it. Revoke or change permission in Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera.
Photos you choose
Photo features use Apple’s system photo picker. The App receives the images you select; it does not browse or request unrestricted access to your whole photo library.
Selected images are processed on your device for display and stored as resized JPEG copies in the App’s local storage. The import process removes original EXIF and GPS metadata from those copies. The App does not modify or delete the original photo in your Photos library and does not upload the imported copy to us.
If you choose an image stored in iCloud Photos, Apple’s picker may download it according to your Apple settings. This Apple service is separate from any TypeSwitch processing.
Settings, drawings and local storage
The App stores preferences, light settings, colour sets, saved-setup names and notes, and imported image copies in its local app storage. Drawings are held in the active session and may be included when you explicitly save a setup. Unsaved drawings are not guaranteed to survive leaving a session or restarting the App.
Local library recovery files may retain previous versions of saved work. Deleted items may also be temporarily retained for Undo or recovery. Device backups may include app data depending on your Apple and backup settings. We do not operate a TypeSwitch server that stores, syncs or backs up your photos, drawings or library.
Purchases and information from Apple
In-app purchases are processed by Apple. On your device, the App uses StoreKit to read verified product and transaction information, such as product identifiers, transaction status, subscription expiry, refund or revocation status, and introductory-offer eligibility. This information is used to unlock Pro, restore purchases and manage access.
The App does not send this transaction information to a TypeSwitch purchase-validation server. We do not receive payment-card details, your Apple Account password or the contents of your personal Apple Account.
Apple may provide developers with sales reports, app-performance information and diagnostics under Apple’s services and your sharing settings. We may use information made available through those services to understand sales and improve reliability. The App does not include a separate analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
Apple independently handles information for its platform, payments, backups and diagnostics under Apple’s privacy information. Your Apple settings control applicable diagnostic sharing and backups.
When you contact support
If you email support@typeswitch.net, we receive your email address and whatever you include, such as your name, message, attachments, device model, App version or a description of a purchase problem. Your email provider may include normal email routing and delivery information.
We use that information to answer you, investigate the problem, maintain relevant support records, prevent misuse and meet legal obligations. We do not need your camera feed or photo library to provide general support. Send only what is necessary, and never send passwords, verification codes or full payment-card details.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, support processing is based on responding to your request or performing an agreement, our legitimate interest in supporting and securing the App, and any applicable legal obligation. If we request consent for a specific optional use, you can withdraw it for future processing.
Sharing and service providers
We do not sell your personal information, share it for targeted advertising, or use your app activity for cross-app advertising profiles.
Support messages may be handled by the email and hosting providers needed to receive, store and answer your request. They process that information for delivering those services. We do not send them the App’s local photos, camera frames or drawings unless you choose to include such content in a support message.
We may disclose support information when reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect rights or security, or handle a lawful transfer of the relevant business, subject to applicable safeguards. Support providers may process information in countries other than yours; where required, appropriate legal safeguards apply to such transfers.
Retention and deletion
Local app content: data remains on your device while it is used or retained by the App. You can delete saved setups or clear the active drawing using the available controls. Local Undo and recovery copies may remain until replaced or until the App’s data is removed.
To remove the App’s local container, choose Delete App in iOS, rather than Offload App. Offloading can preserve app data. Removing local data does not delete originals in Photos, cancel a subscription or remove copies in backups you control. Manage those separately with Apple; restoring a backup can restore app data.
Support correspondence: we retain it only as long as needed to resolve your request, maintain relevant support records, address disputes or meet legal obligations. You can ask us to delete it; information that must legally be retained may be kept for the required period.
We cannot erase local data remotely because we do not hold a server copy of it. Apple controls the retention of purchase and platform records under its own policies.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can stop using the camera, change permissions in iOS Settings, choose which photos to import, remove local work and contact support without sending unnecessary personal content. There is no TypeSwitch account to delete.
Depending on your country and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal information we hold, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority. Email support@typeswitch.net to exercise a right. We may ask for proportionate information to verify the request and will respond within applicable legal deadlines.
Requests about your Apple Account, Apple payment information or Apple-controlled records should be directed to Apple. Requests about content stored only on your device can generally be fulfilled using your device controls.
Children’s privacy
The App does not require registration, profile users or operate a public sharing service. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children below the applicable age of consent. Purchases are subject to Apple’s account, family and parental controls.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent us personal information in a support message can contact us to request deletion, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Security
Local content is kept within the App’s storage using iOS protections. Support information is handled with reasonable measures appropriate to its purpose. No device, email service or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your device and Apple Account secure and use supported operating-system updates.
External links and this web page
When you open an external link from the App, the destination website receives a normal browser connection and handles it under its own privacy terms. The App does not transmit your local camera feed, photo library or drawings with those links.
Reading this policy on a website is separate from using the App. Website hosting receives connection information such as your IP address and browser information to serve the page. The HTML for these LumaFold legal pages does not embed advertising, analytics scripts or remote fonts. The surrounding TypeSwitch website or hosting platform may separately load site-wide services or cookies; consult the website’s privacy and cookie information for those services. This does not give the App access to browser cookies.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy if the App or our practices change. The revised policy will be published here with an updated date. We will provide additional notice or request consent where required by law.
