Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026

Sharp: Macro & Focus Stacking ("the app") is developed by Vladyslav Vdovychenko ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app on iPhone and iPad.

In short: Sharp does not collect, store or share any personal data. Everything the app does happens on your device. There is no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.

What the app works with

CameraWith your permission, to shoot a focus series. Photos are saved inside the app on your device.

Photos you pickTo import a series you already shot. The app sees only the photos you pick; copies stay in the app.

Files you pickTo import a series from Files. Copies stay in the app on your device.

Adding to PhotosWith your permission, to save a finished stack. The app asks only to add, not to read.

Motion sensorsTo wait until the phone is steady before each shot. Used in the moment, never stored.

App settingsTo remember your choices, such as that onboarding was shown. On your device.

Your projects (source frames, results and edits) are stored in the app's private storage and are excluded from iCloud and device backups. Deleting a project, or the app, removes them. The app has no network features: it does not send your photos, projects or any other data to us or anyone else.

Photo metadata

Exported images may keep the metadata of the first source photo, such as camera, lens, exposure and, if the original had it, location. Sharp does not add location on its own. Check or remove metadata before sharing publicly if this matters to you.

Purchases

Sharp Pro is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never see your name, Apple Account, payment card or billing address. The app checks on your device, using Apple's StoreKit, whether you have an active purchase. Purchases are governed by Apple's terms and Apple's Privacy Policy.

Crash reports

If you share analytics with app developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. They do not identify you. You can turn this off at any time.

Sharing your work

When you use Share or save to Files, the image goes where you send it and is governed by that app or service, not by this policy.

Children

Sharp does not collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13 or the equivalent age in your country.

Your rights

We hold no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete. Your data is on your device and under your control.

Changes

If the app ever starts handling data differently, we will update this policy and its effective date before that version is released.
