SheMi Privacy Policy

SheMi v1.0.0 · Effective: July 4, 2026 · Last updated: October 26, 2026

Privacy Policy Privacy Statement Terms of Service Release Notes 中文

SheMi ("we") is a privacy camera & private album app. This policy explains how we treat your information. In short: we do not proactively collect any personal information, because SheMi is built on the principle that your photos never leave your device.

Core facts: SheMi connects to the network in only three situations: App Store in-app purchase verification, user-submitted feedback, and the Wi-Fi LAN export you start yourself. The app contains no code that uploads photos or videos to any server, and integrates no advertising, analytics, or tracking SDK. Your content is stored only on your device by default. Only when you choose "Export to computer" is your selection transferred directly to your own computer over the same Wi-Fi network, without passing through our servers.

1. What information we collect

Short answer: we do not proactively collect anything. We do not collect device identifiers, location, behavior, or analytics data. The only content that ever reaches our server is feedback you actively submit. Item-by-item declaration:

Data typeCollectedNotes
Personal info (name / phone / email)Not collectedNo sign-up, no login required
Location (GPS / cell / Wi-Fi)Not collectedGPS metadata is stripped at capture
Device identifiers (IDFA / IDFV / ad IDs)Not collectedNo analytics/ad SDK; no ATT tracking prompt
Camera / microphone dataNot uploadedStored only in the app's private directory
Album / file dataNot uploadedStored in the iOS app sandbox, not the system photo library
Biometric dataNot collectedHandled by Face ID / Touch ID (Secure Enclave)
Crash logs / performance dataNot collectedNo analytics or statistics SDK
Payment informationNot collectedHandled directly by the App Store
User-submitted feedbackOnly if submittedFeedback text and optional contact, used only to reply and improve

Feedback and data retention: only when you actively submit feedback inside the app are the feedback text and your optional contact details sent over HTTPS to our web server, used solely to answer your question and improve the product. We never use it for advertising or profiling, and never link it to any account (the app has no account system). Contact details are optional. To request deletion of previously submitted feedback or contact details, email durixin@ruisstech.com and we will delete them after verification.

Website forms: the email subscription form on the download page and the website feedback form collect the email, feedback text, and optional contact details you voluntarily enter. They are used only for launch/beta notifications or to reply to you, never for advertising or profiling. You may email durixin@ruisstech.com to request deletion of previously submitted information.

2. App permissions

SheMi requests only the iOS permissions required for core features. Each requires your explicit authorization and takes effect only when you use the corresponding feature:

PermissionPurposeRequired
CameraCapture private photos and videosCore feature, required
MicrophoneRecord audio with videosRequired for video recording
Photo Library (read)Import photos/videos into the private albumOnly when importing
Photo Library (write)Export photos to the system libraryOnly when exporting
Face ID / Touch IDBiometric quick unlockOptional enhancement
Local NetworkTransfer to your computer over the same Wi-Fi LANOnly for that feature
Motion & FitnessShow a level indicator while shootingOptional

SheMi does not request: Contacts, Messages, precise location, or App Tracking Transparency (ATT). The app ships an Apple privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy): except for feedback you actively submit, nothing is collected and no cross-app tracking occurs. Photos and personal data are never uploaded to our servers.

3. Privacy principles

Photos are never uploaded

Photos and videos stay on your device and are never uploaded to any server. The app goes online only for in-app purchase, feedback, and the Wi-Fi LAN export you start yourself. No ad or analytics SDK.

No account system

No registration, no phone number or email required. The unlock passcode is set by you; biometric data is processed and stored by the iPhone Secure Enclave.

Sandboxed storage

All captured content goes directly into the iOS app sandbox. Nothing is written to the system Photos library, so the system album and iCloud Photos cannot see it.

Automatic EXIF removal

GPS location, device model, and capture parameters are removed on capture, on import, and again on export; only orientation and capture time are kept.

Permanent deletion

Deleted photos and videos are removed from the app immediately. There is no recycle bin and we keep no copy.

Screen-recording cover

When the system screen recording starts, the whole app shows a full-screen cover until recording stops, and the app switcher snapshot is masked when you leave the app. iOS does not allow apps to block user-initiated screenshots; a screenshot is never uploaded or sent to any server.

4. Third-party services

4.1 Third-party SDK list

SheMi integrates no analytics, advertising, push, map, or social SDK. In-app purchase is handled directly by Apple StoreKit; SheMi uses no third-party payment SDK.

SheMi does not store order details and does not collect card numbers or payment credentials. Payment data is processed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.

4.2 In-app purchase

Pro is unlocked via Apple App Store in-app purchase (StoreKit). Payment is handled by Apple; SheMi cannot access your payment details. Order information is used only for purchase verification and restore, for no other purpose.

4.3 Third-party AI services

SheMi uses no third-party AI or cloud processing. Capture, storage, and browsing of photos and videos all happen locally on the device.

5. Data security

6. Your rights

Because SheMi does not proactively collect personal data and has no account system, you naturally hold these rights:

7. Children's privacy

SheMi does not proactively collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. We have no way to know, and no interest in knowing, a user's age.

8. Policy updates

If this policy changes materially, we will announce it in the app update notes or on the website. Because SheMi has no push SDK, we will not push notifications to your device.
