Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

Short version: ScoochIn doesn't collect any personal data. Face checks happen on your iPhone and are forgotten right away. No account, no uploads, no tracking.

ScoochIn is an iPhone camera app for group photos, made by Nikhil Walvekar ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with your information.

The camera and faces

To tell you who's in the shot, ScoochIn analyses the live camera preview on your iPhone using Apple's on-device face detection. It finds where faces are and whether eyes look closed. It doesn't identify who anyone is, doesn't create face profiles, and doesn't store or send this information anywhere. It's used live and then discarded.

Photos

Photos you take are saved to your Photos library using add-only access, so ScoochIn can't see or change anything already there. If you don't allow Photos access, photos stay inside the app on your phone until you allow it. Your photos are never sent to us.

No accounts, no tracking

ScoochIn has no sign-in, no ads, no analytics and no third-party tracking or advertising SDKs. The app doesn't connect to our servers.

Permissions

Camera, to show the preview and take photos.
Photos (add only), to save the photos you take.

ScoochIn doesn't ask for your microphone, location or contacts. You can change permissions any time in the iPhone Settings app.

Crash reports and feedback

If you've turned on Share With App Developers in iOS settings, or you test a beta through TestFlight, Apple may share crash reports and any feedback you choose to send with us, under Apple's terms. These don't include your photos. We use them only to fix problems.
