Privacy Policy

Who we are

Shotli(“we”, “us”) provides the Shotli app and website. For privacy questions or requests, contactwaadrarii@gmail.com.

Local content and optional backup

Shotli accesses images you allow it to see, recognizes screenshot text using Apple’s Vision framework on your iPhone, and stores collection names, favorites, review status, and recognized text locally. Shotli does not upload your screenshot images or their recognized text to our servers or to an AI service.

Images sent through the Share Sheet can be saved to an existing collection or Inbox without opening the main app. After you choose a destination and tap Save, Shotli stores private image copies and the destination locally in storage shared by the app and its share extension. The main app adds saved items to its library the next time it opens. This shared storage is on your device, not an online library. Sharing to Shotli does not change the originals in Photos or another app.

The local library and imported images are excluded from the app’s automatic device backup. If you enable Shotli Pro’s optional iCloud backup and start a backup, a separate copy is stored in your private Apple iCloud database using CloudKit. Originals in Apple Photos still follow your Photos and iCloud Photos settings.

iCloud backup

With Pro, you can enable and create manual backups of collections, image memberships, favorites, review progress, and app-owned imported images in your private iCloud storage. You can optionally include copies of accessible Photos screenshots. Without those copies, Photos items require the corresponding originals and permission when restoring. Recognized text, search queries, analytics identifiers, and pending deletion actions are not included. Screenshot content is never sent to Wadrari servers, analytics, or an AI service.

An Apple Account signed in to iCloud, available iCloud storage, and an internet connection are required. Backups happen when you request them; changes are not continuously synced. Keep separate copies of important content and check that a backup completed successfully.

Turning backup off stops new backups; it does not delete an existing backup. Deleting local content or revoking Photos permission does not erase copies already included in iCloud. Apple’s iCloud service and account settings govern cloud storage and availability. You can delete an existing backup in Settings after confirmation, without a new Pro purchase.

Photos permissions and deletion

You choose full, selected, or no Photos access. Full access lets Shotli discover screenshots in your library. Selected access limits it to the images you allow. You can change or revoke access in iPhone Settings. When access is removed, Shotli hides inaccessible Photos items and clears their recognized text from its active library.

Organizing screenshots in Shotli collections does not move or delete the original Photos items. For Photos items, marking for deletion creates a review selection; you must confirm the system Photos request before deletion. Confirmed deletion can sync to other devices through iCloud Photos. Removing a locally imported image removes Shotli’s copy rather than an original elsewhere.

App analytics and diagnostics

Shotli uses PostHog’s EU region to understand feature use and diagnose failures. The app sends controlled events, such as permission results, item counts, review actions, indexing states, and purchase outcomes. Events and diagnostics can include timestamps, app version and build, platform, operating system and device information, error codes, and a persistent randomly generated installation identifier (UUID).

When analytics is configured, Shotli creates a pseudonymous analytics person profile from the first launch using that installation identifier. This is not a registered account or a guarantee of anonymity. The same identifier is used as RevenueCat’s app user ID, linking app activity and purchase information to the same installation. Profile properties include Pro entitlement and plan status. Shotli does not attach your name, email address, or advertising identifier (IDFA) to this profile.

For app events, IP-based location enrichment is disabled. The PostHog project is configured not to retain IP addresses in captured analytics events. Service providers may still process network request data to receive and secure connections. These settings do not exclude country or store-region metadata supplied with purchases.

Shotli excludes screenshot images, recognized text, search queries, collection names, imported-image filenames, extracted links, and Photos asset identifiers from app-content event properties. Session replay, screen recording, automatic screen views, and automatic interaction-text capture are disabled. Automatic crash diagnostics can include exception types and stack traces; freeform exception reasons and UI breadcrumbs are removed. Handled errors use controlled categories and codes instead of forwarding their original content.

App analytics run automatically when the production service is configured. There is currently no in-app analytics toggle. You can contact us about analytics associated with your installation. Deleting the app does not automatically erase events already received by a provider.

Purchases

Apple processes App Store payments. RevenueCat helps verify the one-time Pro entitlement, restore eligible purchases, and handle purchase status. RevenueCat’s PostHog integration also sends server-side purchase, refund, and entitlement-related events to PostHog using the shared app user ID. These services process information such as transaction and product identifiers, purchase dates, entitlement status, price, currency, country or store region, and the app’s pseudonymous installation identifier. We do not receive your full payment card number.

No Shotli account is required. Apple controls the Apple Account and purchase records used for payment and restoration.

Advertising and your choices

The free app uses Google AdMob to display ads after completed reviews and occasionally between Library date groups. Pro removes ads. Google may process your IP address and approximate location, device identifiers and information, ad views and interactions, and crash or performance data to deliver, measure and protect advertising. Your advertising identifier is available only with iOS tracking permission. We do not send screenshot images, recognized text, search queries, collection names, Photos identifiers, or our analytics installation ID to AdMob.

We request regional consent where required before starting ads, then show an explanation before the iOS tracking request when available. Declining tracking does not remove free features; ads may be non-personalized or limited according to your choices and applicable rules. When required, change consent through Ad Privacy Choices in Shotli Settings. Manage tracking permission in iPhone Settings. Your screenshot content is never used to target ads.

Support messages

When you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to answer your request, investigate the issue, and keep a record of the support conversation. Please leave out private screenshots, passwords, payment card details, and other sensitive information unless a specific detail is necessary to explain the problem.

This website

This website has no sign-up form, screenshot upload, payment processing, advertising script, or product analytics package.

The hosting provider may process technical request data, such as your IP address, user agent, requested page, and request time, to deliver and secure the site. Opening an App Store link or emailing support takes you to a service with its own privacy practices.

This website stores your manual language choice in your browser. On your first visit to the root page, it can use your browser’s preferred language. No location service is used to choose a language. You can change the language at any time.

Why information is used

We handle information to provide the local organization tools you request, verify purchased access, restore purchases, understand feature use, diagnose problems, maintain security, and answer support messages. Where a legal basis is required, this processing relies on providing the service, our legitimate interests in operating and improving it, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where the law requires it.

We do not use screenshot content for advertising or train models with your screenshots.

Providers and international processing

Apple provides iOS, Photos, App Store and optional private iCloud backup services; RevenueCat supports purchases; PostHog provides app analytics and diagnostics in its EU region; and our website and email providers deliver pages and support messages. Providers may process data in countries other than your own. Using PostHog’s EU region does not mean every provider processes all information only in the EU. Screenshot content leaves local storage only when you choose an iCloud backup that includes images or share it elsewhere.

You can read the providers’ policies here:Apple Privacy Policy, RevenueCat Privacy Policy, andPostHog Privacy Policy.

Retention and removal

You can remove local imports and collections in the app. Removing a collection keeps its images. Uninstalling removes local app data subject to iOS storage behavior, but does not itself delete Photos originals or an existing iCloud backup. Restoring Pro restores purchase access; restoring content is a separate backup action.

We retain analytics and support records for the purposes described above, subject to the relevant service settings, deletion requests, and legal or security requirements. Provider records and backups can have separate retention. We do not promise that uninstalling the app deletes these records or that all providers erase them immediately. Contact us to ask about information we can identify and remove.

Your choices and rights

• Change Photos permission in iPhone Settings.
• Choose what to organize, import, share, or confirm for deletion.
• Use Shotli without creating an account.
• Contact us to request access, correction, export, or deletion of information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict processing where those rights apply.

Rights vary by location. You may also have the right to withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing and to complain to your local data protection authority. We may ask for enough information to locate and verify a request; please do not send identity documents or passwords in an initial email.

Children and security

Shotli is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We use platform protections and limit the content sent to service providers. No storage or transmission method is guaranteed to be completely secure. Keep your device protected and retain your own copies of important images.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy as the app or our practices change. The date above shows the latest update. We will provide any additional notice required by applicable law. Contactwaadrarii@gmail.comfor privacy questions or requests.
