Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 9, 2026 · Last Updated: April 12, 2026

The short version: Your photos never leave your device. CloseUp! processes everything on your iPhone using Apple's built-in frameworks. We collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the app, but we never see, upload, or store your photos.

1. Introduction

ACQYR HOLDCO INC. ("we," "us," or "our") operates the CloseUp! mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. CloseUp! was designed with a privacy-first architecture — your photos are analyzed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to our servers or any third-party service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Photo Library Access (On-Device Only)

CloseUp! requests access to your photo library to create the gameplay experience. Here's exactly what happens with your photos:

  • Photo scanning and face detection are performed entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework and CoreML.
  • Face embeddings (mathematical representations, not images) are generated on-device to group photos by person. These are stored locally on your device only.
  • Photo metadata (dates, locations) is read from your existing photo library to create game categories.
  • Your photos are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with us or any third party.

2.2 Analytics Data

We collect anonymous usage data to understand how the App is used and to improve the experience. This includes:

  • App usage events: screens viewed, games played, features used, button taps
  • Gameplay statistics: number of games, correct answers, difficulty level chosen, categories played
  • Progression data: XP earned, tier level, streaks, badges unlocked
  • Device information: device model, OS version, app version, language
  • Session data: session duration, app open/close events

This data is collected through our analytics partners (see Section 4).

2.3 Account Information (Optional)

If you choose to sign in with Apple:

  • Your Apple-provided user ID
  • Your name (if you choose to share it)
  • Your email address (if you choose to share it — Apple offers a private relay option)

Sign-in is entirely optional. The App is fully functional without an account.

If you purchase a premium subscription, payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment details (credit card numbers, billing address, etc.). We receive only a confirmation of your subscription status.
