Privacy Policy

Posey, by JoCoding, Inc. Last updated 6 October 2026.

Posey has no accounts. You never tell it who you are, and it never asks. This page describes everything the app and this website actually do with data, written from the code rather than from a template.

Your photos stay on your device

Posey shows a live camera preview with a pose guide drawn on top. The camera image is used to draw that preview and to take a photo when you press the shutter. It is never recorded, never uploaded, and never sent anywhere.

Photos you take are written to your own photo library on your device. Posey does not copy them, back them up, or transmit them. If you use the in-app gallery, Posey reads your library only to display it on screen.

The pose guide is drawn on the screen and is never part of the saved photo.

What leaves your device

Five things, and nothing else. None of them is a photo, a camera frame, or a pose of your own.

1. Purchases. If you buy Posey Pro, Apple (on iPhone) or Google Play (on Android) processes the payment. Our purchase provider, RevenueCat, records that an anonymous install bought it, so the app can tell that it is unlocked and restore it on your other devices. We never see your payment details.
2. Advertising. Free users can watch an ad to remove a watermark, or to take another photo once the day's free ones are used. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which receives your device's advertising identifier and standard request information — including your approximate location, estimated from your IP address, and diagnostic data about how the ad loaded. What it may do with that depends on the choices described below.
3. Product analytics (PostHog). To learn which parts of Posey get used, the app sends a short list of named events to PostHog, our analytics provider: that the app was installed or opened, a pose was picked, a photo was taken, a watermark was removed, a pose of your own was added, the day's free allowance ran out, the Pro screen was shown, an ad was watched, and whether a purchase or restore went through. Each event carries a few plain values — which built-in pose (never which of your own), front or back camera, how many poses of your own you have, whether you have Pro, and the product, price and currency of a purchase — plus your app version, OS version, device model and language, and an approximate location PostHog derives from your IP address. Events are tied to the same anonymous identifier RevenueCat uses for your install, and to a random identifier PostHog keeps in the app. There is no screen recording, no session replay, and no automatic capture of what you tap. See PostHog's privacy policy.
4. Measuring our own ads (Meta). Posey includes Meta's app-events SDK so we can tell whether the ads we run for Posey on Facebook and Instagram lead to installs. It reports that the app was installed and opened, nothing more; purchases are not reported to Meta. On iPhone your advertising identifier is included only if you allow tracking when Posey asks; otherwise Meta measures through Apple's privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork. On Android it is included unless you have deleted your advertising ID, as described below. See Meta's privacy policy.
5. This website. See the last section.

Tracking, and your choice

Before showing any ad, Posey shows Google's consent form where the law requires one. What happens next depends on your phone.

On iPhone, Posey then asks Apple's Allow Posey to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites? If you answer Ask App Not to Track, Posey does not use your advertising identifier: Google serves non-personalised ads, and Meta gets no identifier. You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

On Android, there is no tracking prompt. Google uses your phone's advertising ID, and Meta receives it with the install event, unless you delete it in your phone's settings — usually Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads. Once it is deleted, Google serves non-personalised ads and Meta gets no identifier.

Either way, nothing else in the app changes — the same features, the same free allowance.

Where the law requires Google's consent form, you can change your answer to it at any time, just as easily as you gave it: tap the gear icon in Posey, then Manage privacy choices.

Children

Posey is not directed at children, and we tell Google's consent framework the same thing.

How long anything is kept

Website counts are aggregate numbers with nothing identifying in them and are kept indefinitely. Purchase records are kept by RevenueCat for as long as the purchase is valid, which for a lifetime unlock is indefinitely. Product analytics events are kept by PostHog, and install events by Meta, under each provider's own retention policy.

Your rights

There is no account to delete, and Posey holds nothing about you to delete: your photos and your own poses never leave your device, and deleting the app removes them. Your purchase record is held by Apple or Google, and by RevenueCat, against an anonymous install, not against your name. Product analytics are held against that same anonymous identifier; if you want them deleted, email us and we will delete what we can match to your install. To limit advertising, use the choices described under Tracking, and your choice above.

This website

We count page views by day and by the campaign tag in the link you followed. That is a counter, not a profile: no IP addresses, no cookies from us, nothing that identifies a visitor. We also use Google Analytics to understand which pages people read; you can block it with any content blocker and the site works exactly the same.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what leaves your device, the change will appear here with a new date before it takes effect.
