Omnivert Privacy Policy
In short: Omnivert does its work on your iPhone. Your photos, files, recipes and conversions are never uploaded. I don't run a server, there's no account to create, and I can't see anything you do in the app. There's no advertising, analytics or tracking.
Who this covers
Omnivert is a converter app for iPhone, made by Daniel Waters ("I", "me"). This policy explains what happens to the information you put into it.
Where your data is kept
- On your iPhone. Your settings, custom ingredients, saved recipes and layout choices are stored in Omnivert's private storage on your device. They're included in your normal iPhone backups.
- Files you convert. Photos, videos, audio and documents are processed on your device. Omnivert keeps working copies only while it needs them and deletes them afterwards.
What I collect
Nothing. Omnivert doesn't send your data to me or to any company of mine, and it contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code.
If you choose to share crash reports and usage data with app developers in your device's settings, Apple may pass anonymous crash reports to me. You can change this in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Analytics & Improvements.
What Omnivert downloads
Omnivert connects to the internet only for these, directly from your device:
- HMRC exchange rates. To convert currency, Omnivert downloads HMRC's published monthly rates from gov.uk. Nothing about you is sent.
- Recipe pages you choose. When you paste a web page link into the Recipe Converter, Omnivert fetches that page so it can read the recipe, just as a web browser would. The website receives the request as it would from any visitor.
Siri and Apple Intelligence
- Siri. If you use Omnivert with Siri, your request is handled by Apple, under Apple's privacy policy. Omnivert receives only the amount and units, to do the conversion.
- Apple Intelligence. On iPhones that support it, Omnivert can use Apple's on-device model to understand loosely worded requests. This runs on your iPhone; your request isn't sent to me.
Permissions
- Camera: only to scan recipes and labels for measurements when you choose to.
- Photos: only the photos and videos you pick to convert or scan. Omnivert can't see the rest of your library.
- Saving to Photos: only when you choose to save a converted image.
- Shared files: when you share a file to Omnivert from another app, it's read on your device and the copy is deleted once imported.
Deleting your data
Delete saved recipes and custom ingredients in the app, or delete the app to remove everything it has stored.
Children
Omnivert is a general-purpose tool and isn't directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
