Introduction
Import Magic ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Import Magic website, desktop application, or iOS app. The products have different data practices; the sections below identify which product each practice applies to.
Import Magic for iOS
The iOS app does not require an account and does not use advertising or analytics services. We do not receive your photos, videos, Photos library catalog, or app history on Import Magic servers. These are processed and stored on your device.
Information used on your device
- When you choose a folder through the iOS Files picker, the app reads file names, dates, sizes, and media from that folder to compare and import the files you select.
- If you use Save Space, the app reads Photos library items and stores local catalog records and thumbnail caches so you can review them. Compression saves a new copy to Photos. An original is removed only after you choose and confirm its removal.
- Import history, cleanup plans, receipts, preferences, and cached thumbnails are kept in the app’s on-device storage. A small Keychain counter records free import sessions and may remain after the app is removed and reinstalled.
Sharing and purchases
If you use Share or Export, iOS shares only the items you select with the destination you choose. Lifetime unlock purchases and restores use Apple StoreKit. Apple handles the purchase and associated Apple Account information under Apple’s own terms and privacy policy; the app receives the transaction entitlement needed to unlock the feature.
Permissions, retention, and deletion
Photos access is controlled in iOS Settings. You can grant limited access or revoke access, and the app respects that choice. Optional completion alerts are local notifications scheduled on your device; the iOS app does not use remote push notifications. App records and caches are stored locally; deleting the app removes its app storage. The free-session counter is stored separately in Keychain and may persist after uninstall. You can remove imported media and compressed copies from Photos. Apple purchases remain associated with your Apple Account and can be restored in the app.
