Privacy Policy

1. Scope and responsible party

This Privacy Policy applies to the Rovik iOS application and this legal website. “Rovik,” “we,” and “us” refer to the developer and operator of Rovik. It explains what information Rovik handles, why it is handled, when it leaves your device, and the choices available to you.

2. Information you provide

• Local profile: nickname, selected avatar, biography, favorite photography genre, favorite film, and profile preferences.
• Camera and film archive: camera names and characteristics, shutter-dial behavior, repair notes, dial checks, film stock, ISO, roll status, frame counts, exposure settings, lighting, metering method, possible misdial markers, scan results, favorites, and free-form notes.
• Photos: dial photographs, roll-cover photographs, and developed-frame scans that you capture or select.
• Audio: optional voice notes that you choose to record for a frame.
• Archive reports: statistics calculated locally from your roll and frame records.

Rovik does not request your date of birth, contacts, precise location, health information, or payment-card details.

3. Device permissions

• Camera: used only when you choose to photograph shutter dials, roll covers, or developed frames.
• Photo library: used only when you choose to import an existing dial image, cover, or developed-frame scan.
• Microphone: used only while you deliberately record an optional hands-free voice note.

You can change permissions at any time in iOS Settings. Rovik does not access these resources in the background.

4. Local processing and storage

Your archive and unlocked reports are processed on-device. Structured records and profile settings are stored in the app’s local storage. Imported and captured media and voice notes are stored in the app’s private container. A randomly generated device identifier is stored in the iOS Keychain and local preferences so the same local-device account can be restored consistently. Rovik does not upload your photography archive for cloud sync.

5. Local archive reports

When you unlock a roll report, Rovik calculates statistics on your device from frame records, result markers, favorites, possible misdials, and scan assignments. The report updates locally when those records change. Unlocking does not upload photography records or images.

6. Purchases

Consumable coin purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit. Apple handles payment credentials. Rovik sends the random device identifier, App Store transaction identifier, signed transaction payload, product reference, and a random order reference to its verification service. Rovik does not receive your full payment-card number. Apple’s own privacy terms apply to App Store transactions.

7. Information handled automatically

Network requests necessarily expose limited technical information such as IP address, request time, and basic connection metadata to platform services and Cloudflare when you access this website. Rovik does not currently include its own analytics or crash-reporting SDK. Apple may provide developers with aggregated App Store or diagnostic information when users choose to share it with Apple.

8. Sharing and service providers

Rovik does not sell personal information. Information is shared only as needed for requested features, legal compliance, security, or business operations:

• Apple provides iOS permissions, App Store distribution, and in-app purchase processing.
• Cloudflare hosts public legal pages and non-personal app artwork and may process ordinary web-server and security logs.

We expect service providers to protect data consistently with their contractual and legal obligations. Their independent privacy policies also apply.

9. Retention and deletion

Local records remain until you delete individual items, reset the local account, or remove the app. The in-app reset removes the local profile, camera and roll records, frame logs, locally stored photos, scan images, voice notes, maintenance history, dial checks, report unlocks, passes, and coin balance maintained by the app. Deleting the app also removes its app container, subject to normal device backup behavior.

Purchase records may be retained by Apple as required for financial, fraud-prevention, and legal purposes. Website security logs are retained by Cloudflare according to its service configuration and policies.

10. Your choices and rights

• Choose whether to grant camera, photo-library, or microphone permission.
• Review, edit, favorite, export, or delete archive records inside Rovik.
• Reset all Rovik local data through the app’s account-reset control.
• Depending on your location, request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability for personal information handled by a service provider.

For Apple purchase information, use Apple’s privacy controls.

11. Children

Rovik is a general photography utility and is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age in their jurisdiction. Rovik does not knowingly collect children’s personal information through a developer-operated account service. A parent or guardian should supervise a minor’s use where required.

12. Security

Rovik uses Apple platform protections, private app storage, Keychain storage, and encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Keep your device protected and avoid placing sensitive information in photography notes.

13. International processing

Website and platform providers may process limited service information outside your country. Where required, those providers are responsible for appropriate transfer mechanisms under their applicable agreements and law.

14. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when Rovik’s features, providers, or legal obligations change. The revised date will be shown above. Material changes will be presented through the app or this website when appropriate.

For privacy questions or requests, contact the Rovik developer using the support contact available on Rovik’s App Store product page. Include “Rovik Privacy Request” and enough detail to understand your request, but do not send sensitive photographs or credentials.
