SlyngShot Privacy Policy

Information the app accesses on your device

SlyngShot may request access to the following device resources so the app can function:

• Photos: Used to scan recent photos, find faces, group photos by person, show galleries, and prepare ready-to-send photo packs.
• Contacts: Used to help identify people and address Messages to a person’s phone number when you choose to send photos.
• Camera: Used to capture photos inside the app.
• Messages: Used through Apple’s Messages composer when you choose to send photo attachments.

On-device processing

SlyngShot uses on-device photo, face, and recognition processing to support features such as New Faces, Ready-to-Send, People galleries, and Camera recent-photo prompts. The app is intended to keep your photos, contacts, face embeddings, recognition results, and send history on your device unless you choose to share information yourself.

Messages

When you tap Send, SlyngShot opens Apple’s visible Messages composer with the selected photo attachments and message body. SlyngShot does not send messages silently or automatically. You decide whether to send or cancel in Apple’s Messages interface.

Data collection

The SlyngShot app itself does not collect personal data from your device by transmitting your photos, contacts, face recognition results, Messages content, or usage activity to us.

If you voluntarily contact us, email us, or submit beta feedback, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, comments, screenshots, crash context, device information, or app version. We use that information only to respond to you, improve the app, troubleshoot issues, and manage the beta.

TestFlight beta feedback

If you are testing SlyngShot through Apple TestFlight, you may choose to submit feedback through TestFlight. That feedback may include screenshots, written comments, crash information, device details, app version, and related context. Please avoid submitting screenshots or comments that include private photo, contact, or message information unless you are comfortable sharing it for troubleshooting.

Third-party services

SlyngShot uses Apple system frameworks and services, including Photos, Contacts, Camera, Messages, Vision, Core ML, SwiftUI, and SwiftData. Your use of Apple services and TestFlight is also subject to Apple’s privacy policies and terms.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your photos, contacts, face recognition results, or Messages content with advertisers or data brokers.

Data retention

App data stored locally on your device remains on your device unless you delete it, uninstall the app, or clear related data through iOS. Feedback or support messages you voluntarily send may be retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond, improve the app, maintain records, and troubleshoot beta issues.

Your choices

• You can grant or revoke Photos, Contacts, and Camera permissions in iPhone Settings.
• You can use limited Photos access if supported by iOS, though some app features may be reduced.
• You can choose not to send beta feedback or support emails.
• You can cancel the Messages composer instead of sending photos.

Children’s privacy

SlyngShot is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as SlyngShot evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and post the revised policy at this URL.
