Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

Photo Eraser — Object & BG AI ("the App") is published by Bulpara Inc ("we", "us", "our"). This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the App.

1. Photos & Image Files

• Your photos never leave your device. Background removal runs on-device using Apple's Vision framework. Object erasing runs on-device using a Core ML model (LaMa) that is downloaded once on first use and cached locally.
• The App does not upload, transmit, stream, or store your photos on our servers.
• Original and edited photos live in the App's sandbox on your iPhone and are removed when you delete the App or the corresponding history entry.
• If you choose to save a result to Photos or share via the iOS share sheet (Messages, Mail, AirDrop, Files, etc.), you control where it goes — we do not see it.

2. Data We Store Locally

• Edit history: Before/after image data, tool used, dimensions, and timestamps for each edit. Stored locally via SwiftData.
• Preferences: Default brush size, preferred export preset, JPEG quality, and theme.
• Daily usage counter: A local counter that resets at midnight to enforce the free-tier daily limit. No counter data is transmitted off-device.
• Purchase status: Subscription state is managed by Apple's StoreKit and cached locally for feature gating.

3. Permissions We Request

• Photo Library: Only when you choose a photo to edit. We access only the photo you select via the iOS PhotosPicker — we do not enumerate your library.
• Photo Library (add-only): When you tap "Save to Photos", we request permission to add the result to your library. We never read other photos through this permission.

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

• Apple App Store / StoreKit: Manages subscriptions and purchases. Governed by Apple's privacy policy.
• Google AdMob (free tier only): Displays banner and interstitial ads to free-tier users. AdMob collects device-level data to serve and measure ads — see "What AdMob Collects" below. Premium subscribers see no ads and trigger no AdMob requests.
• Google User Messaging Platform (free tier only): Presents the GDPR / consent prompt that controls what AdMob may collect for users in covered regions.
• LaMa Core ML model (Object Eraser only): Downloaded once from our CDN on first use of the Object Eraser tool. Only the model file is transferred — never your photos. After download, the tool runs entirely on-device, including in airplane mode.

5. What AdMob Collects (Free Tier)

When you use the App on the free tier, Google's AdMob SDK may collect the following:

• Device Identifiers — including the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), but only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission. If you decline the tracking prompt, AdMob receives a zeroed IDFA.
• Coarse Location derived from your IP address, used for ad relevance and frequency capping.
• Advertising Data — which ads were shown, viewed, or clicked, and ad-placement context.
• Product Interaction — basic SDK telemetry such as ad load success/failure.
• Crash & Performance Data — diagnostic data from the AdMob SDK itself.

Your photos, edit history, and the contents of any image you process are never shared with AdMob. Photos remain on-device at all times. See Google's Privacy Policy and AdMob's published data-collection details.

6. Data Storage and Security

• All photos, edits, history, and preferences are stored locally on your device.
• No image data is transmitted to or stored on our servers. We have no servers that hold user photos.
• Purchase verification uses Apple's secure StoreKit framework.
• The Object Eraser model is fetched once from a Content Delivery Network and cached locally; subsequent edits work offline.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your photos with any third party. AdMob may collect device-level data for advertising on the free tier as described in Section 5; the contents of your photos are never included.

8. Your Rights

You can:

• Delete individual edits from the History tab inside the App
• Delete the App to remove all local photos, history, and preferences
• Decline or revoke App Tracking Transparency permission in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
• Upgrade to Premium to remove ads entirely — this disables AdMob requests at the SDK level
• Request information about data handling by contacting us at privacy@bulpara.com

9. Children's Privacy

The App is rated 4+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. AdMob is configured for non-personalized ads when a child user is detected at the system level, in line with COPPA and Apple's guidelines for kids-category apps.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
