Afterglow for iPhone

Your life stays yours.

Effective September 9, 2026

This policy describes Afterglow for iPhone and this official website, operated by Ethan Acevedo. For privacy questions, contact akaethanyt@gmail.com.

Your photos and covers

Afterglow stores the photos you select, your headlines and captions, moods, cover styles, and creation dates in the app’s private storage on your device. We do not upload your photos or covers to a server and cannot view your collection. Your device backups may include this data depending on your Apple settings.

Photo access and sharing

Apple’s photo picker lets you select individual photos without granting access to your entire library. When you export a cover, you choose a destination in the iOS share sheet. That destination handles the image under its own privacy policy. The app does not publish your work automatically.

Purchases

Apple handles payments and subscription billing. Afterglow reads Apple-verified transaction information on your device to determine whether your Plus membership is active. We do not receive your payment card details, and the app does not send purchase records to a developer-operated server.

Analytics and advertising

The iPhone app includes no ads, analytics SDKs, account registration, or cross-app tracking. We do not collect your app activity or sell your personal information.

This website and support

This site uses no advertising or analytics scripts. Our hosting provider processes ordinary connection information, such as an IP address and browser request details, to deliver and secure the site. If you email support, we receive your email address, message, and anything you choose to attach. We use those details to respond and resolve your request. Email and hosting providers process that information to provide their services.

Retention and deletion

Your covers remain on your device until you delete them or remove the app. Delete a cover from its detail screen using “Delete cover.” Export anything you want to keep before removing the app. Device backups are managed through your Apple settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

We retain support correspondence while resolving your request and as needed to handle related follow-up, then delete it when it is no longer needed. You can request access, correction, or deletion of support correspondence by emailing us. We may retain information where required by law. We cannot retrieve or erase a collection stored only on your device.

Changes and contact

We will update the date above when this policy changes. Questions or requests can be sent to akaethanyt@gmail.com.
