Your photos stay yours.

Automono develops black & white versions of your photos entirely on your iPhone. We don't collect, store or share any of your data.

What Automono accesses

  • Your photo library. Automono needs full access to see new photos you take, read them, and save black & white copies. Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded anywhere.
  • Photos stored in iCloud. If an original is only in iCloud Photos, iOS downloads it to your device for Automono, exactly as the Photos app would. Automono itself makes no network requests.

What Automono stores

  • Your settings (such as your chosen film stock) and a list of which photos have already been developed, so nothing is converted twice. This stays on your device and is deleted when you delete the app.

What Automono never does

  • No accounts, sign-ups or logins.
  • No analytics, tracking, advertising or third-party SDKs.
  • No uploading, sharing or selling of photos or any other data.
  • No editing or deleting of your original photos.

Children

Automono collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
