Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Wombow (the app) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what control you have over it.

What we collect

Device identifier — an anonymous UUID generated the first time you launch the app, stored only in your iOS Keychain. It is NOT linked to your Apple ID unless you explicitly sign in with Apple.
Camera frames — while a session is active, a JPEG image is captured every 2 seconds and sent to our servers. Frames are processed by the upstream vision model and dropped; we do NOT store the images themselves.
Voice transcripts — when you speak, iOS transcribes on-device using SFSpeechRecognizer. The transcribed text (not the raw audio) is sent with the next frame so the AI can respond.
Usage metadata — game preset, daily minute counter, subscription tier. Used for rate limiting and aggregated analytics.
Ambient sound classification (opt-in only) — when you enable "Suggest a mode" in Settings, while the Home screen is visible Wombow runs Apple's on-device sound classifier on the microphone input to detect whether a TV, sports broadcast, or movie is nearby. The classification runs ENTIRELY on your device with Apple's bundled model — no audio bytes, waveforms, or spectrograms leave the phone, and the suggestion is not logged anywhere. Default is OFF.

The opaque Apple user ID. We use it only to let your subscription survive device reinstalls.
Your email address only if you choose to share it.

Apple tells us your subscription product ID, transaction ID, and expiration date. Payment itself is handled by Apple — we never see your card number.

OpenRouter + Google Gemini — each frame and transcript is sent to Google's Gemini vision model via OpenRouter's API to generate Wombow's reply. Neither party retains your data for training.
Upstash Redis — stores your daily usage counter, subscription entitlement, and recent conversation history (last 16 turns, 7-day TTL).
Sentry — crash and error reports. Reports do NOT include camera frames or voice transcripts; screenshots and view hierarchies are disabled.
Apple — for Sign in with Apple, subscription billing, and App Store services.

Ask what we have by emailing privacy@wombow.com.
Ask for deletion by emailing privacy@wombow.com. We erase your Redis entries and the device ID regenerates on next launch.
Opt out of crash reports in Settings.

Wombow is not directed at children under 13. Do not use if you are under 13.
