Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 11, 2026

Summary

Before You Share does not collect your personal data. Your screenshots are processed on your device. We do not upload screenshots, OCR text, detected values, metadata values, or cleaned copies to our servers.

Data Controller

The data controller for the Before You Share app and this website is Lovetere IT, based in Italy. For any privacy-related question or request you can contact us at privacy@beforeyoushare.net.

Applicable Law

This policy is governed by Italian law and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679, "GDPR"). Users in the United Kingdom are covered by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Residents of California, Colorado, Virginia, and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws have the rights granted by those laws.

Apple-Provided Services

Some information may be collected directly by Apple when you use the iOS App Store, StoreKit (in-app purchases), and TestFlight (during beta). This collection is governed by Apple's privacy policy. If you have not opted out of analytics sharing in iOS Settings, Apple may also collect anonymised crash and diagnostic data on our behalf; we receive only aggregated, non-identifying summaries.

Information Processed On Your Device

When you choose a screenshot, the app may inspect the image for possible privacy risks such as visible text, contact details, payment details, faces, QR codes, system interface details, and image metadata. This processing happens on your iPhone using Apple on-device frameworks and local app code.

Detected values are used only to show review items and to create a cleaned copy when you ask the app to hide selected details. The original screenshot is not modified.

Photos Access

The app asks for access to the screenshot you choose so it can run the privacy check. If you save a cleaned copy, the app asks permission to write that image to Photos. The app does not scan your photo library in the background.

Metadata

The app can show image metadata that may be attached to the selected screenshot. When you create a clean copy, the app exports a flattened PNG and removes image metadata from that copy.

Purchases

Before You Share offers a one-time Pro purchase through Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the purchase. We do not receive your payment card details. The app stores a local entitlement flag on your device so Pro features remain available.

Local Settings And Counters

The app stores local settings and counters on your device, including redaction style, save preference, demo completion, free-check timestamps, and clean-copy timestamps. These values are used for app functionality and are not sent to us.

Analytics, Ads, And Tracking

Before You Share does not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking. The app does not create an account and does not identify you to us.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data because we do not collect personal data through the app.

Children

The app is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If the app's privacy practices change, this policy will be updated and the App Store privacy information will be kept current.
