Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 14, 2026
BTS Innovations LLC ("we", "us", or "our") built UV Dial as a commercial application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.
Our Core Privacy Principle
Your data stays on your device. UV Dial is designed with privacy at its core. All AI skin analysis, mole tracking photos, and health-related data are processed and stored entirely on your iPhone using Apple's CoreML and Neural Engine. We do not upload, collect, or have access to your photos, scan results, or personal health data.
Information We Do Not Collect
- Photos or images of your skin
- AI scan results or classifications
- Mole tracker entries or progress photos
- Doctor report contents
- Personal health or medical information
- Browsing history or app usage analytics
- Advertising identifiers or tracking data
Information Used On-Device Only
The following data is used by the app but never leaves your device:
- Camera access: Used solely to capture photos for AI skin spot analysis. Photos are processed on-device and stored only in the app's local sandbox.
- Photo library access: Used only if you choose to select an existing photo for analysis. We do not scan or access your photo library beyond the image you explicitly select.
- Location (When In Use): Used to fetch your local UV index and weather conditions from the Open-Meteo weather API. Only your coordinates are sent to this API — no personal identifiers are included. Location data is not stored or logged by us.
Third-Party Services
UV Dial uses the following third-party services:
- Open-Meteo API: We send your device's latitude and longitude to Open-Meteo to retrieve UV index and weather forecast data. Open-Meteo is a free, open-source weather API. No personal identifiers are sent. See Open-Meteo's terms.
- Apple StoreKit: Subscription purchases and management are handled entirely by Apple's App Store infrastructure. We do not process or store payment information.
- Apple Intelligence (on-device): The Sun Scout chat feature uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework. All processing occurs locally on your device.
We do not use any third-party analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Data Storage
All app data (mole tracker entries, scan history, settings, and preferences) is stored locally on your device using Apple's standard app sandbox and UserDefaults. If you delete the app, all data is permanently removed.
Children's Privacy
UV Dial does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is designed as a family sun safety tool and does not require account creation or personal data entry.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with any third parties. Period.
Your Rights
Since we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, there is no data for us to delete, export, or modify. All your data lives on your device and is fully under your control. Deleting the app removes all associated data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
