Flattener collects no data
Flattener does not collect, transmit or store any information about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash-reporting services and no third-party SDKs of any kind.
Your artwork stays on your device
Flattener works on files you open from your own device or your own cloud storage. The artwork you open, the flats it generates, the files it saves, any reference images or PDFs you load, and your preferences and recent colours all stay on your device, under your control. Your work is never uploaded, never copied to a server, and never seen by anyone but you. Where you keep your files is your own arrangement. If you open or save to iCloud Drive, Dropbox or a similar service, those files are handled by that service under its own terms — Flattener simply reads and writes the file you chose.
Third parties
Flattener uses none. Apple collects its own information when you download or install the app through the App Store or TestFlight, and when you send feedback or a crash report through TestFlight. That is Apple’s collection under Apple’s privacy policy, not ours, and we receive no personal information from it. See https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
