Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Archernous, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles your information when you use our mobile applications, including Resurface (collectively, the "Services").
1. Information We Access
When you use our Services, we may access or process the following types of information:
- Photos and Screenshots: With your explicit permission, our apps access your device's photo library to add and organize screenshots. This access is initiated solely by you.
- Device Preferences: App settings such as themes, goals, and preferences are stored locally on your device using standard operating system storage mechanisms.
- iCloud Data: If iCloud is enabled, organization data such as tags, lists, and text recognition results are synced through Apple's iCloud service to keep your library consistent across devices.
2. How Your Data Is Processed
We are committed to privacy-first design. Your data is handled as follows:
- On-Device Processing: All data, including screenshots and text recognition, is processed entirely on your device. Organization data may sync to iCloud if enabled.
- iCloud Sync: If you are signed into iCloud, your organization data (tags, lists, and text recognition results) syncs through Apple's iCloud service. Your screenshots are never uploaded. You can disable iCloud sync in your device's Settings.
- No Remote Access: We have no ability to access, view, or retrieve your content.
3. Third-Party Services
Private by Design: Our apps contain no trackers, no third-party analytics libraries, and never transmit any information from your device. We built our applications to operate independently without reliance on third-party data processors:
- We do not share, sell, or disclose your information to third parties
- We do not integrate analytics, tracking, or advertising services
- We do not use third-party SDKs that collect user data
Note: In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple's handling of payment information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Because all data remains on your device:
- Retention: Data persists on your device and, if iCloud is enabled, in your iCloud account
- Deletion: You may delete individual items within the app at any time
- Complete Removal: Uninstalling the application removes app data from your device. If iCloud sync is enabled, your organization data remains in iCloud and restores when you reinstall
5. Your Rights
You maintain full control over your data:
- Access: All your data is stored locally and accessible to you within the app
- Deletion: Delete any or all content directly through the app interface
- Portability: Your screenshots remain in your device's photo library
- Revocation: Revoke photo library access at any time through your device's Settings
6. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
7. Security
We employ reasonable security measures consistent with industry standards. However, as all data remains on your device, the security of your information also depends on the security of your device and any backup services you use.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
9. California Residents
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, because we do not collect, sell, or share personal information as defined under the CCPA, these provisions may not apply to our Services.
