Privacy Policy

ssok · Effective November 5, 2026

1. Summary

ssok (the "App") organizes screenshots and photo notes you will use later, on your phone. It is available for Android (Google Play) and iPhone (App Store), and this policy covers both.

• The developer does not collect any personal information. The developer runs no servers.
• There is no sign-up, no login, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
• Your photos and records stay on your device, and the developer cannot see them.

Where the platforms differ, such as permissions, internet access and backups, Android and iPhone are described separately below.

2. Information collected by the developer

None. The App sends nothing to the developer. The developer only receives an email if you choose to send one (see section 6).

3. What the App stores on your device

The following is stored only in the App's private storage on your device.

• Filing records: which photo went to which folder, dates and place names you set, and whether an item is finished
• Text read from photos: part of the text recognized on the device, used for search and for date and place-name suggestions
• Photos taken in the App: photo notes taken with the in-app camera (not saved to your gallery or Photos library)
• Settings: folder names and order, reminder timing, display language and so on

Android

Original screenshots stay in your gallery. The App never copies or moves them; it only remembers where they are.

iPhone

• Photos already in your Photos library are not copied. The App only keeps a reference (identifier) to them.
• Photos received through the share sheet or Shortcuts that cannot be found in your Photos library, and photos taken with the in-app camera, are saved as copies in the App's private storage.
• The App, the ssok share extension and the widgets use a shared storage area on the device (App Group) so they see the same records. It also stays on your device.

4. Processed on the device only

• Text and barcode recognition runs on the device (an on-device model on Android, Apple Vision on iPhone).
• Date and place-name suggestions are only suggestions taken from the recognized text. Only values you confirm are used for reminders and records.
• Read-aloud (cooking mode) uses the speech voices installed on your device.
• Voice commands (cooking mode) use on-device speech recognition only. If your device does not support it, voice commands stay off.
• Notifications are scheduled locally on the device. There is no push server.

5. Permissions and why

You can turn permissions off at any time in your phone settings. Only the related feature stops.

Android

• Photos: to detect new screenshots and show the photos you saved
• Notifications: to pick a folder right after a capture, for date reminders and to show detection status
• Display over other apps (optional): to show folder buttons in a corner right after a capture
• Camera: to take photo notes inside the App
• Microphone: to understand short voice commands such as "next" or "again" in cooking mode
• Exact alarms and reminders (optional): to notify you when a cooking timer you set finishes, including while outside the App. You can enable or disable this access in your phone settings. Notifications may be restricted by notification permissions or device settings.
• Media management: to move photos you chose to delete from the gallery into your phone's trash
• Also: vibration, restarting detection after reboot, keeping detection running, checking network status (this is not internet access), Google Play billing

iPhone

• Photos: to show the photos you saved and to add the photos you pick. If you allow access to all photos and turn on "Collect new screenshots when you open ssok", the App looks for screenshots taken after you turned it on, when you open the App. With limited access, the App only handles the photos you select.
• Add to Photos: to save record photos you choose to export to your Photos library
• Camera: to take photo notes inside the App
• Microphone and speech recognition: only when you turn on voice commands in cooking mode
• Notifications: for date reminders and cooking timers

On iPhone, the system does not let apps show buttons over other apps right after a screenshot. You add photos through the share sheet, Shortcuts or the in-app photo picker.

6. When you send something out yourself

These happen only when you choose them, and the receiving service's policy applies.

• Share: photos or text go to the app you pick.
• Open in Maps: the place name goes to a map app (your map app on Android, Apple Maps on iPhone).
• Backup file: a file is created at the location you pick. If that location is a cloud service, the file is stored there.
• Feedback email: if you send it, the developer receives your email address, the message and the device details included (model, OS version, app version), used only to reply. It is deleted once no longer needed for the reply, or on request.

7. Internet access

Android

The App has no internet permission. ssok Pro purchases and access checks go through the Google Play Store app on your phone.

iPhone

The App does not communicate with any developer server. Apple's own frameworks may connect to Apple in the following cases, and Apple's privacy policy applies:

• Purchases, subscriptions and access checks (StoreKit)
• Downloading an original that is stored only in iCloud Photos, when you open it
• Apple Maps, when you tap "Find on Maps"

8. Purchases

"ssok Pro" is purchased through Google Play on Android and through the App Store on iPhone. Payment details are handled by Google or Apple and are not shared with the developer. The App only checks with the store whether you have access. The developer does not receive the buyer's name or email address.

9. Device backups

Android

App data is excluded from Android's built-in backup and device-to-device transfer. To move to a new phone, use the backup file made in the App.

iPhone

App data may be included in your own iCloud or computer backup. That backup is stored by Apple or on your computer according to your Apple Account and backup settings, and the developer cannot access it.

10. Retention and deletion

• Deleting the App deletes its records, photos taken in the App and copies it kept. On iPhone, they may remain in iCloud or computer backups made earlier, for as long as those backups are kept.
• "Remove from ssok only" deletes the record in ssok and leaves the original photo as it is.
• If you choose to delete the original too, it moves to your phone's trash on Android, or, after the system's confirmation, to "Recently Deleted" in Photos on iPhone. It is usually removed for good after 30 days.
• Originals in your gallery or Photos library remain when you delete the App.
• The developer keeps no copy of your data, so there is nothing to request deletion of from the developer. Emails you sent to the developer are deleted on request.

11. Children

The App is not directed to children under 14 and does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
