PRIVACY POLICY
Effective March 31, 2026
// OVERVIEW
Prysm (“the App”) is developed and published by Shy Guy LLC (“we”, “us”). We are committed to your privacy. This policy explains what data the App handles and how.
The short version: Prysm does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Everything stays on your device.
// DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT
- No personal information (name, email, phone, etc.)
- No device identifiers or fingerprints
- No location data
- No usage analytics or telemetry
- No crash reports
- No advertising identifiers
- No account creation required
// LOCAL DATA STORAGE
Scan results (privacy scores, categories, and tracker matches) are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App.
A scan counter is stored in your device's Keychain to track how many free scans you have used. Keychain data persists across app reinstalls but is tied to your Apple ID and never transmitted.
// AI ANALYSIS
On iOS 26+: Privacy analysis runs entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence (Foundation Models framework). No data is transmitted to any server.
On iOS 17–25: When you scan a website, the site's publicly available HTML and privacy policy text are sent to the Anthropic API (Claude Haiku) for analysis. This is the website's public content — not your personal data. The API response is used to generate your privacy report and is not stored by Anthropic beyond the duration of the request.
No personal data, device information, or scan history is ever sent to the Anthropic API or any other third-party service.
// CAMERA ACCESS
Prysm requests camera access to scan QR codes and barcodes. Camera data is processed locally in real-time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
// IN-APP PURCHASES
Prysm offers a one-time in-app purchase (“Prysm Pro”) processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not receive, process, or store any payment information. Purchase verification is handled locally via StoreKit 2.
// NETWORK REQUESTS
Prysm makes the following network requests, all over HTTPS:
- iTunes Lookup API (apple.com) — to retrieve app metadata when scanning App Store apps
- App Store pages (apple.com) — to read App Store privacy labels
- Target websites — to fetch the page you are scanning (HTML and privacy policy)
- Anthropic API (anthropic.com) — for AI analysis on iOS 17–25 only
No requests are made to Shy Guy LLC servers. We have no backend.
// CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Prysm does not collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. The App is rated 4+ and is safe for all ages.
// CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this policy if the App's functionality changes. Material changes will be noted in the App Store release notes. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
