Artisan Forge Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2026 | Applies to the iOS app Artisan Forge

Overview Data Handling Permissions Your Controls Technical Support

Overview

Artisan Forge is a generative art creation app. Core workflows run locally on your device, including canvas creation, layer parameter editing, local project saving, export and sharing, wallpaper export, and daily inspiration rendering.

Based on the current implementation and privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy), we do not use cross-app tracking and do not declare third-party tracking domains.

Data Handling (By Feature)

2.1 Content You Create

Project metadata: project name, creation date, tags, and rating.
Creation data: serialized layer structures and parameter snapshots (layerData).
Preview data: project thumbnails (when available).

Purpose: to save, load, filter, and continue editing your artworks in Library.

2.2 Image Processing Data

When you use photo-driven workflows, the app accesses selected images for operations such as silhouette and palette extraction.
For export and sharing, the app may create temporary files (such as artwork.png) in the system temp directory.

Purpose: only for actions you trigger, such as analysis, export, sharing, or wallpaper flow.

2.3 Settings and Preferences

Local preferences (NSUserDefaults), such as default render quality, default engine, and cloud sync toggle state.

Purpose: to improve your local user experience.

2.4 What We Do Not Do

No use of advertising tracking identifiers (IDFA).
No integrated third-party analytics/crash SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Sentry).
No sale of personal information.
No active upload implementation of creative content to third-party servers in core workflows.

Permissions

Artisan Forge may request system permissions only when needed for a feature you choose to use.

Photo Library access: to import reference photos and to save exported artworks.

You can manage permissions in iOS Settings at any time.

Your Controls

Children's Privacy
