Privacy Policy for Mend

Last Updated: October 4, 2026

At CoreArc Studio, we build apps that respect your privacy by design. This Privacy Policy explains how Mend handles your data.

1. Everything Happens on Your Device

Mend runs entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. When you paint over something and erase it, the photo is processed on the device in your hand. Your photos are never uploaded to us or to anyone else. Mend makes no network requests of its own, so we cannot see your photos.

2. Nothing Is Kept

Mend does not keep a library of your photos or your edits. A photo stays in memory while you work on it and is gone when you open another one or close the app. The result exists only where you choose to put it: saved to your photo library, shared, or copied.

3. Access to Your Photos

• Choosing a photo: Mend uses the system photo picker. It receives only the photo you pick and cannot browse the rest of your library.
• Saving a photo: Mend asks for permission to add photos to your library. That permission lets it add a photo and nothing more. It cannot read your library.

4. Data Collection

Mend does not require an account, does not track you, and does not collect personal data. It contains no advertising and no analytics of ours.

• Reports from Apple: If you have chosen to share analytics with developers in your device settings, Apple may send us anonymous, aggregated crash reports and usage figures. They contain nothing that identifies you and none of your photos. We use them only to fix problems.
• Purchases: Mend Pro is bought through Apple. Apple handles the payment and tells the app only whether Pro is active. We never receive your payment details.

5. Third Party Services

Mend does not use third party analytics, advertising networks or outside services of any kind.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
