Privacy Policy
Your Privacy Matters to Us
At Leyon, we believe your workspace photos and personal data should stay exactly where they belong - with you. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy-first approach and how we handle (or rather, don't handle) your information. We've designed Leyon to be as private as possible while still delivering a powerful desk journaling experience.

Our Privacy Promise

We don't collect, store, or have access to your photos. Everything stays on your device. No servers, no cloud, no tracking. Your desk journey is yours alone.

📱

What Leyon Is & How It Works

Leyon is a local-first application, meaning all your data lives exclusively on your device. Here's what makes our approach different:

Local Storage Architecture:
  • All photos are stored in your device's local storage
  • Tags, categories, and metadata stay on your device
  • Collages you create are saved locally
  • Gear inventory data never leaves your device
  • Timeline and comparison data is computed locally
  • No internet connection required for core features

This architecture means we literally cannot access your photos or data - they never reach our servers because we don't have servers collecting user data.

What This Means for You: Complete privacy and control. Your workspace photos, setup configurations, and personal notes are as private as the photos in your device's camera roll. We can't see them, analyze them, or share them because we never receive them.
🔒

Information We Don't Collect

Let's be crystal clear about what we DON'T collect, because that's the most important part:

Data Type We Collect? Details
Your Photos Stored locally only
Personal Information No accounts required
Location Data Never requested or tracked
Usage Analytics No tracking or analytics
Device Information Not collected or stored
Contacts Never accessed
Browsing History Not tracked

We've built Leyon to function completely without collecting user data. No accounts mean no email addresses, no passwords, no profile information. No analytics mean no tracking of how you use the app.

Information We Do Handle

While we don't collect personal data, there are a few technical aspects to be transparent about:

In-App Purchase Information:

When you purchase Desk Credits, the transaction is processed entirely through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store. Here's what happens:

  • Apple/Google handles all payment processing
  • We receive a transaction receipt (no payment details)
  • The receipt confirms your purchase to unlock features
  • No financial information passes through our systems
  • Purchase history is managed by your app store account
Technical App Store Data:

The app stores (Apple/Google) may collect standard technical information:

  • App download and update information
  • Crash reports (if you opt in to share with developers)
  • Device compatibility data
  • App store review and rating data

This data is collected and managed by Apple/Google according to their privacy policies, not by us.

Support Communications: If you email us for support, we'll have access to whatever information you choose to share in your message. We use this solely to help resolve your issue and delete it after the matter is resolved.
🔐

Device Permissions Explained

Leyon requests certain device permissions to function. Here's exactly why we need each one and how we use it:

Camera Access:

Why we need it: To let you capture photos of your desk setup directly within the app.

How we use it: Only when you tap the capture button. Photos are saved directly to your device's local storage.

What we don't do: We never access your camera in the background or take photos without your explicit action.

Photo Library Access:

Why we need it: To let you select existing photos from your library and to save collages you create.

How we use it: Only when you choose to add photos or save creations. You control which photos we can access.

What we don't do: We don't scan your entire photo library or access photos you haven't explicitly selected.

Local Storage:

Why we need it: To store your workspace photos, collages, tags, and gear inventory on your device.

How we use it: Creates a dedicated app folder on your device for all Leyon data.

What we don't do: We don't access other apps' data or files outside our designated storage area.

Managing Permissions: You can review and modify these permissions anytime in your device's Settings app. Revoking permissions may limit certain features but won't affect your existing data.

No Background Access
No Location Tracking
No Microphone Access
No Contacts Access

Data Storage & Security

Since all your data stays on your device, security is primarily about device security. Here's what you should know:

Local Data Protection:
  • Your data is protected by your device's security (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
  • Leyon data is stored in your device's secure app sandbox
  • Other apps cannot access Leyon's data without your permission
  • Data is encrypted at rest using your device's encryption

Backup Recommendations:

  • Enable iCloud Backup or iTunes backup to protect your data
  • Regular device backups ensure you don't lose your desk journey
  • If you switch devices, restore from backup to transfer your data
  • Leyon data is included in standard device backups
Important: If you delete the app without backing up your device, all your photos, collages, and data will be permanently deleted. We cannot recover this data because it never existed on our servers.

Device Security Best Practices:

  • Use a strong device passcode
  • Enable biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID)
  • Keep your device's operating system updated
  • Be cautious about who has physical access to your device

Third-Party Services

Leyon is designed to minimize third-party involvement, but there are a few services that enable core functionality:

Apple App Store / Google Play Store:

These platforms handle:

  • App distribution and updates
  • In-app purchase processing
  • Purchase restoration across devices
  • Refund processing

Their privacy policies govern how they handle this data. We recommend reviewing:

  • Apple's Privacy Policy: apple.com/privacy
  • Google's Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy

What We Don't Use:

No Analytics Services
No Advertising Networks
No Social Media Integration
No Cloud Storage Services
No Tracking Pixels

We've intentionally avoided integrating third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. This means fewer companies have access to information about you.

Children's Privacy

Leyon is designed for general audiences and doesn't specifically target children. However, our privacy-first approach makes it inherently safe:

Age-Appropriate Design:
  • No account creation means no age verification needed
  • No social features or user-generated content sharing
  • No advertising or third-party tracking
  • All data stays on the device
  • In-app purchases require parental approval through device settings

Parents can use device-level parental controls to manage app usage and in-app purchases. Since Leyon doesn't collect personal information, there's no risk of children's data being collected or shared.

Parental Guidance: We recommend parents review the app with their children and use device settings to control in-app purchases. The app's local-only design means children's photos and data remain private on the family device.
🌍

International Users & Data Location

Leyon's local-first architecture makes international privacy simple:

Where Your Data Lives:

Your data lives exactly where you are - on your device. It doesn't cross borders, doesn't get transferred to servers, and doesn't leave your physical possession.

Compliance with Regional Privacy Laws:

  • GDPR (Europe): No personal data collection means no GDPR concerns
  • CCPA (California): No data sale or sharing because we don't collect data
  • Other Regulations: Local-only storage complies with most privacy regulations

Since we don't collect, process, or transfer personal data, most international privacy regulations don't apply to our core functionality. The only cross-border data transfer occurs through app store purchases, which are governed by Apple/Google's policies.

🔄

Your Privacy Rights & Control

Even though we don't collect your data, here's what control you have:

Complete Control:
  • Access: All your data is accessible within the app anytime
  • Modification: Edit or delete any photos, tags, or data in the app
  • Export: Your photos and collages can be saved to your device's photo library
  • Deletion: Delete individual items or remove the entire app to erase all data
  • Portability: Your photos are standard image files you can transfer anywhere

Managing Your Privacy:

  • Review and modify app permissions in device Settings
  • Control which photos Leyon can access
  • Manage in-app purchases through your app store account
  • Delete the app anytime to remove all local data
Data Requests: Since we don't collect or store your data on our servers, we cannot provide data exports, deletion confirmations, or access reports. Your data exists only on your device, and you have complete control over it through the app and your device settings.

  • We'll update the "Last Updated" date at the bottom
  • Significant changes will be communicated through app updates
  • You can always review the current policy in the app's Profile section

Final Privacy Commitment

Leyon was built with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought. We believe your workspace photos and personal data should remain private. That's why we chose a local-first architecture that makes it technically impossible for us to access your data. Your desk journey is yours to keep, yours to control, and yours to cherish. Thank you for trusting Leyon with your workspace memories.
