PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: December 13, 2025

ScreenCap Studios

ScreenCap ("the App") is developed by ScreenCap Studios. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to your data and privacy. ScreenCap is built with privacy as a fundamental principle: your content stays on your device, we collect nothing, and we never see your data.

1. Our Privacy Commitment

ScreenCap is designed to be completely private:

• No data collection

• No analytics or tracking

• No servers (we don't operate any)

• No account creation

• No third-party SDKs

• No advertising networks

Everything happens locally on your device. Premium users can optionally enable iCloud sync, which uses your personal iCloud account with end-to-end encryption.

2. What Data We Do NOT Collect

ScreenCap does NOT collect, access, store, or transmit:

• Your screenshots or CapCam captures

• Your notes, tags, or URLs

• Your organizational data or Stacks

• Your device identifiers or advertising IDs

• Your usage patterns or analytics

• Your location data

• Your personal information

• Your browsing history or behavior

We have zero visibility into how you use the App or what content you organize.

3. What Data Stays On Your Device

The following information is stored locally on your device and never leaves it (unless you enable iCloud sync):

A. Screenshots and Photos

Regular screenshots remain in your iOS Photos library. CapCam captures are stored privately in the App's local storage directory. Neither are ever uploaded to our servers.

B. Organizational Data

Your notes, tags, URLs, Stack assignments, and all metadata are stored in your device's local UserDefaults and file system using Apple's secure storage APIs.

C. App Preferences

Your settings (dark mode, grid layout, sort preferences) are stored locally using UserDefaults.

D. Subscription Status

Your subscription status is managed entirely by Apple through StoreKit 2. We query your subscription state locally on your device but never receive or store payment information.

4. Permissions We Request

ScreenCap requests only the permissions necessary for core functionality:

A. Photo Library Access

Required to display your screenshots from the iOS Screenshots album. You can grant full access or limited access. ScreenCap only reads from the Screenshots album and only writes when you explicitly delete a screenshot from within the App.

B. Camera Access

Required for CapCam in-app captures. Camera access is only used when you actively use the CapCam feature. Photos captured with CapCam are stored locally in the App's private storage, not in your Photos library.

C. Notification Permission (Optional)

If you enable notifications, ScreenCap may notify you when you take screenshots so you can organize them instantly. This is entirely optional and can be disabled in iOS Settings.

5. Data Storage & Security

All data is stored locally using Apple's secure storage APIs:

• UserDefaults for preferences and organizational data

• File system (Documents directory) for CapCam captures

• iOS Photos library for regular screenshots (managed by iOS)

ScreenCap does not implement its own encryption for local data because all data remains local to your device, protected by iOS security features and your device passcode/biometrics.

6. iCloud Backup (System-Level)

If you enable iCloud Backup on your device (iOS Settings → Your Name → iCloud → iCloud Backup), your device may back up ScreenCap's local data to your personal iCloud account. This is:

• Controlled entirely by you in iOS Settings

• Encrypted by Apple using your iCloud credentials

• Stored in your personal iCloud storage, not our servers

• Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy

ScreenCap Studios has zero access to your iCloud backup data.

7. Premium iCloud Sync (Optional)

Premium subscribers can optionally enable iCloud sync to sync data across their devices:

• Syncing Method: Uses Apple CloudKit to sync your screenshots' organizational data (notes, tags, Stack assignments)

• Encryption: End-to-end encrypted using your iCloud credentials

• Access: Only you can access your synced data—we cannot decrypt or access it

• Storage: Stored in your personal iCloud account, NOT on our servers

• Control: You can disable sync anytime in Settings → Sync

• Governed by: Apple's Privacy Policy and iCloud Terms

• What syncs: Notes, tags, URLs, Stack assignments, and organizational metadata

• What does NOT sync: The actual photo files (they remain in your Photos library or local CapCam storage)

Important: iCloud sync is entirely optional and only available to Premium subscribers. Free users continue to have full local-only storage with no cloud syncing.

8. Third-Party Services

ScreenCap does not integrate any third-party services, SDKs, or frameworks that collect data. The only Apple frameworks we use are:

• Photos (to access your screenshots)

• AVFoundation (for camera functionality)

• Vision (for on-device OCR text recognition)

• StoreKit 2 (for subscription management)

• PDFKit (for PDF generation)

• CloudKit (for optional iCloud sync - Premium only)

All of these operate entirely on-device or within your personal iCloud account with no external communication to our servers.

9. Subscriptions & Payments

Subscriptions are processed entirely through Apple's App Store:

• Payment information is handled by Apple, not ScreenCap Studios

• We never see your payment details, credit card numbers, or billing address

• Subscription status is validated locally on your device using StoreKit 2

• Apple's Privacy Policy governs all payment and subscription data. For billing questions or refund requests, contact Apple Support.

10. Children's Privacy

ScreenCap does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children. The App does not create accounts, require registration, or collect any personal information from users of any age. Because no data is collected or transmitted to our servers, ScreenCap is safe for all ages, though it is designed for users 13 and older.

11. Your Data Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• View: All your data is accessible within the App

• Export: Use PDF Export to export your organized screenshots

• Delete: Delete individual caps, Stacks, or all data from within the App

• Sync Control: Enable or disable iCloud sync at any time (Premium)

• Complete Removal: Deleting the App removes all local ScreenCap data from your device. Because we don't collect or store your data on our servers, there's nothing for us to access, modify, or delete on our end. If you use iCloud sync, your synced data remains in your personal iCloud account and is governed by your iCloud settings.

12. Data Sharing & Disclosure

ScreenCap does not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to anyone because we don't have access to it. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly:

• Export a PDF and share it through iOS share functions

• Enable iCloud sync (Premium), which syncs to your personal iCloud account only

We have no servers, no databases, and no ability to access your content.

13. International Users

Because all data processing occurs locally on your device (or in your personal iCloud account if sync is enabled), there is no international data transfer involving ScreenCap Studios. Your data stays in whatever country your device and iCloud account are located in, governed by Apple's regional policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated through the App or on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.

16. Summary

In plain language: ScreenCap is completely private. We don't collect anything, we can't see your data, and everything stays on your device. Premium users can optionally sync via their personal iCloud using end-to-end encryption. Your screenshots, notes, and organizational structure are yours alone.
