LocalPixPrivacy Policy
The short version: LocalPix creates and edits images entirely on your device. Your prompts, your photos and the images you create are never uploaded to us or to anyone else. To keep the app running and improving, LocalPix uses a small number of trusted services for purchases, app analytics, measuring our ads and showing optional ads in the free version. This policy explains exactly what they receive.
What stays on your device
All image generation and AI photo editing runs locally on your iPhone or iPad using on-device AI models. Your prompts, generated images, edited photos and your gallery are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded, analyzed on a server or shared. After a model is downloaded, LocalPix works completely offline.
Face data
LocalPix does not collect, use, store or share face data. The app does not use Face ID, the TrueDepth camera, ARKit face tracking or any face detection, face recognition or facial analysis technology, and it never creates facial geometry, facial landmarks, face templates or any other biometric data.
If you choose a photo that shows a person in AI Edit, LocalPix treats it as an ordinary picture: the on-device AI model processes the photo's pixels together with your text prompt to produce a new image. No information about faces is extracted, measured or recorded in this process.
- Use: the photo you choose is used only to create the edited image you asked for, on your device.
- Sharing: the photo and the edited image are never sent to us or to any third party, including any AI service, analytics or advertising provider.
- Storage and retention: the original photo you pick is held in your device's memory only while you edit it and is not saved by LocalPix. The edited image is saved only in the LocalPix gallery on your device, and only you can access it there.
- Deletion: you can delete any image from the LocalPix gallery at any time, and deleting the app removes everything LocalPix has stored. Because nothing is uploaded, we hold no copy of your photos or images to delete.
No third-party AI services
LocalPix does not use any third-party or cloud AI service. All AI image generation and AI photo editing is performed by AI models that run on your own iPhone or iPad. Your prompts, photos and images are never sent to OpenAI, Google, Hugging Face or any other AI provider, or to any server of ours. The only AI-related network activity is the one-time download of model files described under Model downloads, which sends none of your content.
No accounts
LocalPix does not require or offer an account. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number inside the app.
App analytics (Google Firebase)
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and to fix problems. It receives:
- Usage events, such as app opens, paywall views, model downloads, the number of images generated and how long generation took, along with the model and style used. These events never contain your prompts, photos or images.
- Purchase events: the product, price and currency of an in-app purchase or trial.
- Device and app information: device model, operating system, app version, language and an approximate location (country or region) derived from your IP address.
- A random app instance identifier and an anonymous, randomly generated user identifier (the same anonymous identifier used for purchases, see below).
Google processes this data under the Google Privacy Policy. Analytics data is kept only as long as necessary, in line with Google Analytics retention settings.
Advertising measurement and App Tracking Transparency
We run ads for LocalPix on other apps and websites (for example Google Ads and Apple Search Ads) and measure which ads lead to installs and purchases.
- If you allow tracking when iOS asks (App Tracking Transparency), your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) may be shared with Google through Firebase so that Google Ads can attribute installs and purchases to our campaigns.
- If you don't allow tracking, the advertising identifier is not collected. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Apple Search Ads attribution uses Apple's AdServices framework, which provides an attribution token that does not identify you personally and does not require tracking permission. It is sent to RevenueCat so we can see which Apple Search Ads campaigns lead to purchases.
We never sell your personal information.
Ads in the free version (Google AdMob)
Without LocalPix Pro, you can watch a short rewarded video ad to create images or to try a Pro model. These ads are shown by Google AdMob, and only when you choose to watch one. LocalPix Pro users never see ads.
- To show and measure ads, Google AdMob receives device and app information (such as device model, operating system, language and IP address), ad interaction data and, only if you allow tracking, your device's advertising identifier (IDFA). Ads may be personalized only where you have given the required consent.
- If you are in a region where consent is required (for example the EU, the UK or certain US states), LocalPix shows Google's consent message before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time from Settings > Privacy choices in the app.
- AdMob never receives your prompts, photos or images.
Google processes this data under the Google Privacy Policy; see also how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)
All payments are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. To unlock and restore what you bought, LocalPix uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated user identifier, your App Store purchase and transaction information, basic device and app information, the Firebase app instance identifier (to connect purchases with analytics) and the Apple Search Ads attribution token described above. It never receives your name, email address or Apple Account. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
Model downloads
AI models are downloaded from Hugging Face the first time you use them. These are standard file downloads; like any internet request they reveal your IP address to the host, but no personal information is attached. See the Hugging Face Privacy Policy.
Photos access
If you use AI Edit, you choose a photo and LocalPix processes it entirely on your device. When you save an image to your photo library, LocalPix asks only for permission to add photos.
Your choices and rights
- Turn off tracking for LocalPix at any time in iOS Settings.
- Where it applies, change your ad consent at any time from Settings > Privacy choices in LocalPix.
- Deleting the app removes all prompts, images and models stored on your device.
- Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data. Contact us from Settings > Contact support in the app: the email it prepares includes your anonymous identifier, which lets us find the data linked to it.
Children
LocalPix is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will post the update on this page with a new date.
