Privacy policy
Your recordings stay under your control.
TakeStack for iPhone uses a local-first workflow. Recordings, project state, previews, and finished outputs remain on your device unless you explicitly choose Photos, Files, or Share.
Effective 1 September 2026
Information handled by the apps
TakeStack handles recordings you make, guide tracks, project settings, cue positions, and rendering information needed to build and export a video. It uses camera, microphone, and Photos access only after you grant the corresponding iPhone permissions.
-
Local media
Projects, source media, private previews, and proof/export files remain on your iPhone. You decide if and when a copy goes to Photos, Files, or Share.
-
Purchases and proof allowance
Apple processes TakeStack Pro purchases. TakeStack evaluates verified StoreKit entitlement information and stores proof-export usage locally. Purchase processing does not transmit your recordings to TakeStack.
-
No advertising or automatic analytics
The apps do not include advertising SDKs, cross-app tracking, or third-party product analytics. They do not automatically send project media, usage history, or diagnostics to TakeStack.
-
Your controls
You can remove projects and exports in the app or system destinations you selected. Deleting the app removes its local project and proof-allowance state, subject to iOS backup and restore behavior. Apple retains purchase records needed to restore eligible purchases.
Website, purchases, and support
The TakeStack website does not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking. Apple processes iPhone purchases under Apple's privacy policy and provides verified entitlement and transaction status needed to deliver, restore, refund, and support Pro.
- If you email support, TakeStack receives the address and information you choose to include.
- If you buy through the App Store, Apple handles payment details and provides transaction status needed for access, restoration, refunds, accounting, and legal obligations.
- Apple may provide aggregate App Store information or diagnostics that you choose to share through Apple.
- TakeStack does not sell personal information.
