pluvie Privacy Policy
Updated November 9, 2026
About this policy
pluvie is a photo editor by notseph. It does not require an account or an app server. This policy explains information kept on your device and the services you choose to use.
Information collected by the developer
pluvie does not send your photos, editing settings or app activity to a developer server, and the developer does not collect personal information directly. Free users see ads, and the ad provider Google processes the information described under “Ads and the Remove ads purchase” below. The app contains no analytics or crash reporting SDK. Files you choose to share and app-store actions are described below.
Ads and the Remove ads purchase
Starting with the November 2026 update (0.1.1), one Google AdMob ad appears at the bottom of the album list on iPhone, iPad and Android. There are no ads on the photo grid, photo details or the editor. To serve ads and prevent fraud, Google may process the device advertising identifier, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions such as impressions and taps, and diagnostics. pluvie requests non-personalized ads only and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites (iOS App Tracking Transparency). Where consent is required, Google’s consent form appears, and you can change your choice in Settings › Ads › Ad privacy settings. Settings › Ads › Remove ads is a one-time App Store or Google Play purchase; payment and payment details are handled by the store. The app stores only whether you purchased it on your device, and you can restore it with Restore purchase on the same store account. Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Access to photos
The app does not ask to read your entire photo library. The operating system photo picker provides only the photos you select. Selected photos are copied into the app's private storage. Original files in your photo library are not overwritten.
Saving edited photos
Edited photos are saved as new files. On iOS, the app requests add-only photo-library permission when you save; this permission does not allow it to read or delete existing photos. On Android, the app adds its output to the Pictures folder. The system picker may download cloud photos, and saved photos may be synchronized by iCloud Photos or another service according to your device settings. On macOS, you choose files and save destinations with the system file panel.
Location metadata
pluvie does not request location permission. Location metadata is excluded from exports by default. You may choose to include GPS metadata already contained in the selected photo. If you share a photo containing that metadata, the recipient may be able to see the location.
Information stored on your device
The app stores imported photo copies, editing recipes, saved looks, albums, ratings, flags and settings. It also stores the first launch date, successful photo-save count, review-request count and last request date to limit optional review prompts. A pending app link may be stored until the photo library can safely open. These records are kept locally and are not sent to the developer. Example photos in the introduction are bundled display assets and are not added to your library. Whether you purchased Remove ads is also stored on the device.
Retention and deletion
Local app data remains until you remove it or uninstall the app, subject to operating system backup and restoration settings. Clearing the app cache removes temporary previews and exports, not original photos in your device library. Exported or shared files remain with the destination you selected. Uninstalling does not remove originals or files already saved outside the app. The developer has no server copy to recover.
Internet and app-store actions
Photo editing works offline. The app uses the internet to show ads, to purchase or restore Remove ads, and for the Butterplace apps page you open. There is no analytics collection. If you choose Rate this app or another butterplace app, the operating system opens a store or browser, which may connect to the internet under that provider's own policy. The operating system may offer its review sheet after successful use. pluvie does not learn whether you submitted a review or which rating you chose. Store and universal-link services may perform their own network requests.
Sharing photos and looks
Sharing passes the edited photo or look file to an app you select through the system share sheet. Photos include the metadata you chose for that export. Look files contain editing values and user-assigned names, not photos, device identifiers or private source paths. The receiving app controls how it handles and sends the file.
Children
pluvie is not directed at children. The developer does not collect information from users of any age.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the update date is revised. This bundled version is available in Korean and English from Settings, even without a network connection.
