Privacy Policy

BlurPass

Last Updated: October 24, 2026

            In short: BlurPass processes everything on your device. We don't collect your photos, location, or personal data. BlurPass has no ads and no third-party services (since version 2.2).
        

1. Introduction

BlurPass ("we," "our," or "us") is a privacy-first photo editing app. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. BlurPass is designed to be an offline, on-device utility — your photos and data never leave your device.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

No user accounts: You don't need to sign up or log in.
No servers: We have no backend. All photo processing happens locally.
No analytics: We don't use analytics SDKs to track your behavior.
No photo uploads: Your photos are never transmitted anywhere.

3. Photo Library Access

BlurPass requests access to your Photo Library for the following purposes:

Reading photos: To let you select photos for metadata scrubbing and blurring.
Saving photos: To save the processed copy back to your library.
Local only: Photos are processed using Apple's Vision and Core Image frameworks entirely on your device.
Originals untouched: We never modify your original photos. BlurPass creates a new copy.

4. Location Data (Metadata)

BlurPass reads GPS coordinates from your photos' EXIF metadata solely to identify and strip it. We do not track your device's real-time location, and we do not save or share any location data.

5. Face and Text Detection

BlurPass uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to detect faces and text. This runs on your iPhone's Neural Engine. No biometric data is stored, shared, or sent anywhere.

6. No Advertising

Since version 2.2, BlurPass contains no advertising and no third-party SDKs. The app makes no network requests other than Apple's App Store (StoreKit) for purchases, and it does not use your Advertising ID (IDFA).

Earlier versions: versions before 2.2 showed ads through Google AdMob in the free version. In those versions AdMob could collect device identifiers (IDFA, only if you allowed tracking), ad interactions and IP address to serve and measure ads; see Google's Privacy Policy. Updating to 2.2 or later removes AdMob completely.

7. In-App Purchases

BlurPass offers a non-consumable in-app purchase ("BlurPass Pro") processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Purchase validation is handled by Apple's StoreKit framework on your device.

8. Children's Privacy

BlurPass is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since photo processing is fully on-device and we don't collect data, the app is safe for users of all ages.

9. Data Retention

Since we don't collect data, there is nothing to retain. For versions before 2.2, AdMob's data retention is governed by Google's privacy policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
