1. The short version
I don't collect any of your data.
Your location is used only to get the weather where you are. It's sent to Apple Weather for the forecast and to Apple Maps for the name of the town. A venue you search for in the planner goes to Apple Maps too.
Nothing is sent to me or kept on a server, and nothing is sold or shared. There are no accounts, ads or tracking.
Your settings, your planned shoot and your recent venues stay on your iPhone. Deleting the app removes them.
Apple Weather and Apple Maps handle those requests under Apple's own privacy policy.
This is the same policy you'll find in the app, under Settings. The sections below go into more detail.
2. Your location
LensFog uses your location only while you're using the app. Your coordinates go to Apple Weather (WeatherKit) for the current conditions and the hourly forecast, and to Apple Maps for the name of the town shown on screen. They aren't used for anything else.
To keep the widgets current, the forecast is refreshed in the background from time to time. That refresh uses the last saved location; no new location is requested in the background.
You don't have to share your location. Without it, you can still search for a place and see the forecast there.
3. The planner
A venue, town or address you type into the planner is sent to Apple Maps to find matching places. The place you pick is sent to Apple Weather for its forecast.
4. What stays on your iPhone
The following is stored only on your iPhone, in storage that belongs to LensFog and its widgets:
- Your settings: where your gear has been and its temperature, the room you're walking into, the lenses in your bag, units and theme.
- Your planned shoot: the place, the day and time, and any gear temperature you set for it.
- Up to five recent venues from the planner.
- The latest forecast for your location and the name of the town, which the widgets read.
None of it is uploaded, synced or shared. Deleting the app removes it. Device backups may keep app data according to your settings.
5. Third-party services
The only outside services are Apple Weather and Apple Maps, as described above. They handle those requests under Apple's Privacy Policy.
LensFog has no analytics, ads, tracking or third-party SDKs, and no account to create. I don't run a server for it. It's a one-time purchase with no in-app purchases, and Apple handles the payment.
6. Permissions used
6.1. Location

6.2. Everything else
