Rubin

Privacy Policy

Rubin collects no data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no servers. Your photos and videos stay on your iPhone, or go to a drive or your photo library when you choose.

Last updated 11 November 2026

Camera and microphone

Rubin uses the camera to take photos and record video, and the microphone to record sound with your videos. Both are used only while the app is open and only to make your recordings. Nothing is streamed, uploaded or analysed anywhere else.

Where your photos and videos go

• On your iPhone. Every capture is saved in the app's own folder, which you can open in the Files app (On My iPhone → Rubin).
• Your photo library. If "Save to Photos" is on, a copy is added to your library. Rubin asks for permission to add photos only. It cannot see the photos already there.
• An external drive. If you connect a USB-C drive and allow access, video records straight to that drive.

LUT files you import stay in the app's folder on your iPhone.

What Rubin does not do

• It does not collect analytics, usage data or crash reports of its own
• It does not read your location, contacts or existing photos
• It does not show ads or use the advertising identifier, and never tracks you
• It has no accounts and never asks for your name or email
• It does not send your photos, videos or settings to us or to anyone else

Apple may share crash reports with developers if you turned on "Share With App Developers" in your iPhone's Analytics & Improvements settings. Those reports are anonymous and are used only to fix bugs.

Your rights

Rubin is published by Akos Komuves (Tall Poppy Studio), an independent developer in Hungary. Because the app collects nothing, there is no data about you to see, correct or delete. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on your iPhone, apart from copies you saved to your photo library or a drive.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and anything new that leaves your device will be described in the app's release notes first.
