TraceBin privacy policy

Last updated: September 16, 2026

TraceBin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

• Photos stay on your iPhone. Photos you take or choose are processed on the device with Apple’s Vision and Core Image frameworks. They are never uploaded anywhere. TraceBin makes no network connections of any kind.
• No account. There is nothing to sign up for and no identifier is created.
• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app contains no third-party code.
• What is kept on the device. Bins you share are saved in the app’s own storage so you can share them again: the traced outline, your settings for that bin, and a small thumbnail of the flattened photo. Swipe a row to delete it. Deleting the app removes everything.
• Camera access is used only to take the photo you ask for, when you ask for it.
• Sharing. When you share an STL, iOS hands the file to the app or service you choose. What happens to it after that is governed by that app’s policy.
