- We collect nothing. Pactory has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no servers of ours that it talks to.
- Your ideas and apps stay on your iPhone. Apps are made by Apple Intelligence running on your device, and they're saved only on your device.
- Your voice stays on your iPhone. Speech is turned into text on the device. Pactory asks for on-device recognition only.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
Who we are
Pactory (“Pactory: AI App Maker”) is published by Echocode (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at hello@pactory.app. This policy covers the Pactory iPhone app and this website, pactory.app.
Information the app collects
None. Pactory does not collect, transmit, sell or share personal information or usage data. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code, and it does not connect to any server operated by us or by a third party. It works the same in airplane mode.
What stays on your device
To work, Pactory keeps a few things on your iPhone. None of it is sent to us.
- Your descriptions. What you type or say to describe an app is passed to Apple Intelligence on your iPhone to make the app. It is saved with the app so you can change it later.
- The apps you make. Each mini app, its name, icon and the data you enter into it (for example list items or scores) are stored in Pactory's private storage on your device. Each mini app has its own separate storage.
- Small settings. Pactory remembers things like the day's suggested ideas and whether you own Pactory Pro, so the app works offline.
Deleting a mini app in Pactory deletes the app and everything saved in it. Deleting Pactory from your iPhone deletes all of it.
If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, Pactory's data is included in that backup like other app data on your device. Backups are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy, and we have no access to them.
Apple Intelligence
Pactory uses Apple's on-device foundation model, part of Apple Intelligence, to make and change apps. Pactory runs it on your iPhone and does not send your descriptions to Apple's cloud or to anyone else. Apple Intelligence itself is provided by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy.
Microphone and speech recognition
If you tap the microphone, Pactory asks for permission to use the microphone and speech recognition. Pactory requires on-device speech recognition, so your audio is turned into text on your iPhone and is not sent to Apple or to us. Audio is not recorded or saved; only the resulting text is placed in the box, where you can edit it. You can turn these permissions off at any time in Settings > Pactory. Typing works without them.
The mini apps you make
Every mini app runs in a sandbox inside Pactory that blocks all network access. A mini app can't load anything from the internet or send anything out, and it can't see your other mini apps' data, your contacts, photos or location.
Purchases
Pactory Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles your payment and Apple Account details under Apple's Privacy Policy. Pactory only checks, on your device, whether your Apple Account owns Pactory Pro. We don't receive your name, email or payment information.
Apple provides developers with aggregated sales reports, and, only if you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone's settings, aggregated usage and crash information. This information doesn't identify you to us.
This website
pactory.app uses no cookies, analytics, trackers or third-party scripts, and loads its fonts from its own server. Like any website, our hosting provider may briefly process technical information such as IP addresses in server logs to deliver the site and keep it secure. If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply to you, and delete them when they're no longer needed.
Children
Pactory doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country).
Your rights
Because we don't collect or hold personal data from the app, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or delete on our side. Everything is on your device and under your control. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, write to hello@pactory.app.
Changes to this policy
If we change how Pactory handles data, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect. If a future version ever needed to collect data, we would say so clearly in the app and ask first.
