AfterhueAfterhue privacy policy
Afterhue has no accounts, no server of its own, and no analytics or advertising tools. Your chips, photos and ratings stay on your iPhone. The app sends rounded coordinates to Apple WeatherKit for the forecast and uses RevenueCat to check purchases. This page lists each case.
What stays on your iPhone?
Your chips (palettes, names, dates, city names, ratings), the photos you pick or take, your places and your settings are stored only inside the app. They are included in your device backup like other app data. Afterhue does not upload them anywhere.
What about location?
If you allow location access while using the app, Afterhue reads one approximate position to compute sun times on the device and to request the forecast. The position is rounded to about 1 km (0.01 degrees). You can choose a city instead and never grant location access.
In the privacy manifest the app declares coarse location, used for app functionality, not linked to you and not used for tracking.
What is sent for the weather forecast?
To get the forecast, the app sends the rounded coordinates of your place, and of a point about 150 km toward the sunset, to Apple WeatherKit. Apple handles the request under the Apple Privacy Policy. No identifier of you is sent with these requests. Sun, golden hour and blue hour times are calculated on the device and are not sent anywhere.
A browser preview used during development gets forecasts from Open-Meteo instead. The iPhone app uses WeatherKit.
How are photos and the camera handled?
Photos are chosen with the system photo picker, which gives Afterhue only the photos you select. The app never reads the rest of your library. The camera opens only when you tap Take a photo. Colors are extracted on the device. Saving a card or photo to your library asks for add-only access at the moment you do it.
What is in the links I share?
Sky Call and chip links carry their data inside the part of the address after the # sign: the city name, score, palette, chip name and the optional signature you type. Browsers do not send that part to any server. Links never contain coordinates or photos. You decide whom you send them to.
How do purchases work?
Afterhue Pro is sold as a weekly or yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase. Apple processes the payment. Afterhue uses RevenueCat to check what you bought. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and your purchase history, not your name or email. The privacy manifest declares purchase history, used for app functionality, not linked to you and not used for tracking.
Are there analytics, ads or tracking?
No. The app contains no analytics or advertising SDK, does not track you across other apps or sites, and does not collect usage data.
How do notifications work?
Reminders and alerts are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. Afterhue does not use a push server.
How do I delete my data?
Settings, Data and privacy, Delete everything removes every chip, photo, rating, place and setting from the app. Deleting the app does the same. Purchases stay with your Apple Account. You can also export your data as a JSON file from the same screen.
What about children?
Afterhue is rated 4+ and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone.
How do I ask a question?
Use Contact support in the app's Settings. See also the support page and the terms.
