Privacy Policy

Radact is designed to help you redact sensitive information in photos before you save or share them. This policy explains what the app accesses, what stays on your device, and what Apple may process when you use purchases or system services.

Photos and image content

Radact processes imported images on your device for editing, face detection, text detection, redaction preview, and export. The app does not upload your photos to a Radact server for detection or editing.

Face data

Radact uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to detect face rectangles in photos or files that you choose to import. The app uses this information only to place redaction regions, such as blur, pixelate, or solid color masks, over faces selected by the user.

Radact does not identify people, does not create face templates or faceprints, does not perform face recognition, and does not compare faces across images. Radact does not collect face data on a Radact server and does not use face data for advertising, tracking, analytics, or profiling.

Face detection results are processed on device and are not shared with Radact, third-party AI providers, advertising networks, analytics services, or other third parties. Temporary face rectangle information is kept only as needed during the current editing session and undo flow. When you close the editor or discard the image, that temporary information is deleted. If you choose to save or share an edited image, only the edited output is saved or shared to the destination you select, such as Photos, Files, or the iOS share sheet.

Permissions

• Photos: Used when you import images from your library or save edited copies back to Photos.
• Camera: Used only when you choose to capture a photo inside the app.
• Files: Used when you choose an image from the file picker.

Data stored on your device

Radact stores lightweight preferences on your device, such as onboarding completion, appearance settings, export quality, default redaction style, premium status cache, and free export counters. These values are used to keep the app working consistently and are not sold or used for advertising.

Retention and deletion

Radact does not retain face data after the active editing session ends. Photos, exported images, and shared files remain only where you choose to store or send them, such as your device, iCloud Photos, Files, or another app selected in the share sheet. You can delete exported images or files from those destinations at any time.

Purchases

Premium purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through StoreKit. Radact receives purchase entitlement status from Apple so the app can unlock premium features. Payment information is handled by Apple, not by Radact.

Third-party tracking and advertising

Radact does not include third-party advertising SDKs and does not track you across apps or websites.

Support contact

If you contact support, the information you choose to send in your email is used only to respond to your request. Do not send sensitive photos unless they are necessary for support and you are comfortable sharing them by email.

Children's privacy

Radact is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a support request, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy as Radact changes. The updated date at the top of this page shows when the latest version took effect.
