My Cover Dog ("the App") is an iOS app developed by Nigelware ("we", "our", "us"). Privacy isn't an afterthought here — it's how the App is built. This policy explains what the App does with your information, in plain language. It covers the iOS app only; the My Cover Dog website is a separate service with its own privacy policy.
The App is designed to be private by default. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to:
There is no account to create and no sign-in. We have no server that receives your content.
Everything the App creates is stored locally on your iPhone and is never transmitted to us:
The cover's writing is generated on your device. The App does not send your answers anywhere to have the words written — the whole editorial engine runs offline on your iPhone, which is why it works in airplane mode.
Deleting the App removes this data from your device.
To make a cover, you pick a photo using Apple's system photo picker. This picker runs outside the App and hands over only the single photo you select — the App is never given access to browse your photo library. When you save a finished cover, the App asks for permission to add that image to your photo library; this is add-only access and does not let the App read your existing photos. Your photos are processed entirely on your device.
The App offers a one-time, optional purchase that removes the watermark from your covers. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit. Apple processes the transaction; we never receive or store your payment information. The App only learns from Apple whether the unlock has been purchased. The purchase supports Apple Family Sharing, and can be restored on your devices through the App's "Restore purchase" option. Apple's handling of purchases is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
The App contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking software. It does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and never asks to track you across other apps or websites. The only network connection the App makes is to Apple's App Store for the optional purchase described above.
My Cover Dog is a general-audience app for making keepsakes of your pet. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone. Because photos and details are processed and stored only on the device and are never transmitted to us or any third party, no personal information is collected or shared through the App. You are responsible for the photos you choose to use.
You are always in control: you can delete any cover within the App, and deleting the App removes all data it stored on your device. Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing on our side to request, correct, or delete.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
