Geode Privacy Policy

We can't see your photos and videos, and the Geode app sends us nothing about you. It has no accounts, ads, analytics or trackers, and Apple handles all payments.

1. Who we are

Geode is made by KoingDev. This policy covers the Geode app and our website, geode.koing.dev. For anything about privacy, email support@koing.dev.

2. Your vault

Everything in Geode is encrypted on your device, including thumbnails, dates, places and album names. It's backed up, still encrypted, to your own iCloud, and neither Apple nor we can see it. Search and duplicate checks run on your device.

Your passcode or Recovery Kit opens your vault, and so does Face ID or Touch ID where you've turned it on. We never see your passcode or kit, so if you lose both, we can't get you back in.

3. Permissions

Geode asks only when a feature needs it: Face ID or Touch ID to open your vault, Photos to remove originals or save exports, and notifications for reminders. Geode works without them, and it doesn't ask for your location, contacts, camera or microphone, or to track you.

4. Your choices and rights

• Delete items in Geode (Trash keeps them for 30 days), or your backup in Settings › your name › iCloud › Storage › Geode › Delete Data from iCloud. Deleting Geode from a device deletes the vault on it.
• Turn off permissions in Settings › Apps › Geode, and sharing with developers in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements. Our website doesn't count visits from browsers that send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

5. Children and changes

• Children. Geode isn't made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
• Changes. We'll post changes here and tell you in the app 30 days before an important one. We'll ask before Geode collects anything new.

This policy takes effect on November 9, 2026.
