Privacy Policy

Your photos and edits

Aki Studio processes the photos you choose, their metadata, and your editing instructions on your device. It does not upload that content to an Aki Studio server or pass it to Google's advertising software.

Projects are kept in the app's storage on your device. Saving an edited copy to Photos or Files leaves your original separate. Aki Studio does not provide cloud sync or cloud backup for projects. Copies you save to Photos or Files may be synced by Apple or another service according to your own settings.

You control which photos or files you import and can manage the app's Photos permission in your device's Settings.

Advertising and Google services

All Looks and editing tools are free. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or paid feature tiers. Aki Studio includes Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform to support advertising and advertising privacy choices.

Advertising depends on the installed version. Version 1.9.0 uses a rewarded ad when you choose “Watch ad to export,” and may show a banner at the bottom of Home. A completed reward allows the copy to be saved. Dismissing a displayed rewarded ad before completion returns to the export panel. Export still proceeds when an ad is unavailable or the device is offline. Version 1.8.4 may show an ad after a successful save. Official releases use production Google AdMob configuration; earlier TestFlight builds may use test ads.

Google's advertising services may process:

• IP addresses and approximate location derived from them;
• device identifiers;
• advertising activity and interactions with ads or app features;
• crash, performance, and other diagnostic information.

This information can be used to deliver and measure ads, support analytics, prevent fraud, and operate or improve the services. Google and its advertising partners handle information according to the services in use, their configuration, your region, and applicable privacy choices.

Aki Studio requests non-personalized ads and disables Google's publisher personalization setting and publisher first-party ID. Non-personalized ads are not selected using your past behavior, but may still use contextual information and identifiers for functions such as limiting repeat ads and reporting. These settings do not mean that no data or identifiers are collected.

Your advertising privacy choices

Google may show advertising consent choices depending on your region and the messages configured for the app. Where available, use the app's advertising privacy options to revisit those choices. Editing tools and saving your photos do not require agreeing to personalized advertising.

You can read more in Google's Privacy Policy, its iOS advertising data disclosure, and its explanation of non-personalized ads.

Storage and deletion

You can remove projects in Aki Studio. Copies you have separately saved to Photos or Files remain in those locations until you manage or delete them there. Keep a separate copy of important photographs; app storage is not a backup service.

Aki Studio does not hold a server copy of your projects to retrieve or delete. Google manages the information its services receive under its own privacy policy and retention practices.

When you contact support

If you email us, we and our email provider receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to respond and investigate the issue. Use a non-sensitive sample if you need to share a photo, and only include details needed to explain the problem.

For questions about your information or to request deletion of a support message, email akistudio.mobile@gmail.com.

Testing through TestFlight

Apple handles TestFlight distribution and testing information. Depending on your invitation and the feedback you submit, we may receive testing activity, crash reports, contact details, messages, and attachments through TestFlight. We use that information to investigate issues and improve Aki Studio.

Only attach photographs you are comfortable sharing when sending feedback. Apple's TestFlight & Privacy notice explains what Apple collects and shares with developers.
