This policy explains how the Reframe iPhone app (“Reframe”, “the app”) and this website handle information.
In short: the app does its work on your iPhone. We don't operate servers that receive your photos, camera frames or usage data, and the app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking code. Some Apple services are involved — for example the App Store's download service — and they are described below.
Who we are
Reframe is developed by 刘澄逸.

Camera and on-device processing
Reframe uses the camera to show the viewfinder, find the subject you select and guide your framing. Subject detection, the AI composition model and all guidance run on your iPhone.
Camera frames are processed in your iPhone's memory for this. The app doesn't upload them, and it doesn't keep frames other than the photos you take.
Photos you take
Photos you take are saved in the app's storage on your iPhone: the full original from the camera, the framed 3:4 version and a framing record (where the subject was and the plan that was suggested). They are not uploaded.
A photo is added to your iPhone's Photos library only when you choose to export it. You can delete photos in the app; this doesn't remove copies you've exported. Uninstalling the app removes the photos stored in it.
If iCloud Backup or computer backups are on, your iPhone's backups may include the app's data, as with other apps.
Permissions
- Camera — required to frame and take photos.
- Photos (add only) — requested only when you export a photo to your Photos library. Reframe can't read your library.
- Microphone and Speech Recognition — the app's permission list includes these for an optional voice input feature. Voice input isn't available in the current version's interface, so Reframe doesn't ask for them. If we turn it on later, we'll update this policy first.
- Location — not used.
You can change permissions at any time in Settings › Reframe.
AI models and downloads
The composition models are hosted by Apple and delivered through the App Store's download service for app assets. On supported iPhones the standard model (about 2.8 GB) downloads together with the app; if it couldn't be finished, Reframe requests it after you open the app. The optional enhanced model (about 5.4 GB) downloads only when you choose it.
These downloads fetch model files only. Reframe doesn't send your photos, camera frames or logs with them. Apple handles the download requests as described in Apple's privacy policy.
Before a newly downloaded model replaces the current one, Reframe runs one test on your iPhone using a drawn sample picture — not one of your photos.
Sign in with Apple (optional)
You can use Reframe without an account. If you sign in with Apple, Apple provides an account identifier and, if you choose to share them, your name and email address. Reframe keeps these only in your iPhone's keychain; they aren't sent to us or synced to a server.
You can delete this information with 删除账号 (Delete account) in 我的 (Me). To stop using Sign in with Apple for Reframe, go to Settings › your name › Sign-In & Security › Sign in with Apple.
Diagnostics
- Technical logs on your iPhone. To help fix problems, the app keeps technical logs in its storage — for example timings, memory use, model download and status events, and composition results such as the kind of subject and the suggested placement. They contain no photos, camera frames, audio or location. They stay on your iPhone, aren't sent automatically, and are removed when you delete the app.
- Local test diagnostics (optional, off by default). In 我的 › 隐私与支持 › 测试诊断 you can turn on a more detailed local record of the shooting guidance: technical states, device model, times and actions. It contains no photos, video, recordings, GPS or face images. It isn't uploaded; you can export a record yourself or clear all records there.
- TestFlight. If you test Reframe through TestFlight, Apple shares some information with us under its TestFlight terms, such as the name and email address you were invited with, which builds you installed, session and crash counts, crash reports and the feedback you choose to send.
- App Store. If you've agreed in iOS settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may share aggregated usage and crash data with us.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, such as screenshots or a description of the problem. We use it only to reply to you and to fix problems, and we delete it once it's no longer needed for that.
You don't need to send photos for support. Share them only if you want to.
Third parties
The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs. The open-source libraries it includes, such as Apple's MLX and Hugging Face's swift-transformers for on-device AI, run on your iPhone, and Reframe doesn't use them to send data anywhere.
Apple services involved: the App Store and TestFlight, the App Store's download service for models, Sign in with Apple and, when you export, the Photos library.
What we don't do
- We don't sell personal information.
- We don't show ads or track you across other apps and websites.
- We don't collect your location.
- The app doesn't upload your photos or camera frames to us.

For anything you've sent us, you can ask us what we have, or ask us to correct or delete it. Contact us at the address below.
Children
Reframe isn't directed at children. The app doesn't send personal information to us, so we don't collect personal information from children.
This website
This website is a static site. It doesn't use cookies, analytics, advertising or third-party fonts and scripts.
When you choose a language, your browser remembers the choice in its local storage on your device; you can clear it in your browser settings.
Like any website, the hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, time and the page requested) to operate and secure the site.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what the app does with your data, we'll update this policy before releasing that version.
