Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
PixelGuard is built to work privately on your iPhone or iPad. In normal app use, AIXion does not receive your photos, metadata, or app usage data.

1. Core Privacy Promise
PixelGuard processes photo metadata locally on-device. We do not operate a cloud photo pipeline, and we do not upload your photo files, EXIF data, or cleaned images to AIXion servers.
2. Data AIXion Receives
- Normal app use: none. No account creation, no analytics events, no ad IDs, and no tracking SDKs.
- Subscriptions: Apple handles billing. PixelGuard uses StoreKit entitlement status to unlock Pro, and AIXion does not receive your App Store payment card or bank account information.
- Support email (optional): if you contact support, we receive your email address, message, and anything you attach, such as screenshots or purchase receipt images.
- Website access: when you visit PixelGuard's website, legal pages, or support pages, hosting and CDN providers may process standard request data such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and security logs to deliver and protect the site. This is separate from normal app use.
3. What Stays on Your Device
- Selected photos and metadata analysis/cleaning operations.
- Your in-app preferences (for example, whether to keep originals when cleaning).
- Free-tier daily usage counter used to apply the 3 photos/day limit.
AIXion does not receive these on-device items.
4. Permissions
PixelGuard requests Photo Library access only so you can select and save photos. Permission is optional, but without it the app cannot clean selected photos. You can change access any time in iOS or iPadOS Settings.
5. No Tracking, No Ads, No Data Sale
PixelGuard does not run behavioral analytics, advertising SDKs, fingerprinting, or cross-app tracking. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.
6. Third Parties
- Apple: App Store, StoreKit purchases, subscription management, and refund handling.
- Email provider: only when you voluntarily contact support by email.
- Website hosting and CDN providers: only for delivering and protecting PixelGuard's public website and legal/support pages.
7. Retention
- Photos and metadata: not retained by AIXion because they are not sent to us.
- Support emails: retained only as needed to handle support and legal obligations.
- Subscription entitlement status: used by the app to provide Pro access. AIXion only receives related information if you voluntarily send it to support.
- Website request data: retained by hosting and CDN providers only as needed for delivery, security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
8. Privacy Rights
Because PixelGuard is designed for zero data collection in normal use, we usually do not hold personal data about you unless you emailed support. If you want access or deletion of support communications, email support@pixel-guard.com with subject line "Privacy Request".
This applies across regions, including California and EEA/UK users: we do not sell personal information and we do not profile users for ads.
9. Children's Privacy
PixelGuard is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. Security
Local processing is the main security design choice in PixelGuard. Keeping photos on-device reduces external data exposure.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy when product or legal requirements change. The latest version is always posted on this page.
