Short version: BlurShield does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data, photos, or personal information — to us or to anyone else. Everything happens entirely on your device.
BlurShield is a photo-editing tool that lets you blur, pixelate, or cover faces, text, and other private details in a photo before you share it, and lets you remove hidden metadata (like GPS location, camera model, and timestamps) from the exported image.
BlurShield does not have an account system, does not use analytics or advertising SDKs, does not include any crash-reporting or tracking libraries, and does not make any network requests. The app has no server, and we — the developer — have no ability to see your photos or any information about how you use the app.
BlurShield requests access to your camera and photo library only to let you choose or capture a photo to edit. Everything — including automatic face and text detection, blurring, pixelation, and metadata removal — is processed locally on your device using Apple's on-device frameworks. Your original and edited photos never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to save or share the result yourself, using the share sheet or Photos app.
When metadata removal is enabled (the default), BlurShield strips EXIF, GPS, and other embedded metadata from the exported image before it is saved or shared, and verifies the removal before completing the export.
BlurShield stores your in-app preferences (such as your default redaction style and export format) locally on your device using Apple's standard settings storage. This information never leaves your device and is not linked to you personally.
BlurShield does not share any data with third parties, because it does not collect or transmit any data in the first place.
BlurShield does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information from anyone at all.
If this policy ever changes — for example, if a future version of the app adds an optional feature that involves data leaving your device — this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
