Privacy policy
Privacy policy for Toned, including the Almost Matter support contact.
Last updated 21 September 2026
Toned processes your photographs on your device. No account is required. Optional news and offer notifications use the limited data described below; your photographs and edits are not uploaded.
What stays on your device
Every stage of the chain runs locally on your iPhone. The photographs you open, the negatives and prints you make, the frames you keep and your editing settings are stored only on your device.
Photo library
Toned asks for permission to add photos to your library only so it can save a print, negative, film strip, contact sheet or clip that you chose to export. It has add-only access: it does not read your photo library. You pick each photograph yourself through the system photo picker.
Purchases
The optional one-time Toned Plus unlock is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Toned never sees your payment information. The purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored from Settings inside the app.
Optional notifications
You can separately choose news and offers in Toned Settings. Notifications are optional, and declining them does not limit editing or export. We ask for Apple's notification permission only when you choose to enable notifications.
If you subscribe, our notification service stores a random installation identifier, an Apple push token, your app and language, notification preferences, consent version and registration revision. It also records delivery attempts and when you open a notification, to manage delivery, prevent duplicates and limit frequency. These records are linked to that installation, not an Toned account. We do not upload your photos, videos, drafts or edits.
Cloudflare hosts this service and any images shown in notification cards; Apple delivers push notifications. These providers process technical request information needed to operate and secure their services. We do not sell notification records, combine them across apps, or share them for third-party advertising or tracking.
Turning off both notification choices removes the delivery token from our active registry once the app connects. A consent record remains to prevent delayed requests from subscribing you again. Delivery records are retained to prevent repeat sends and operate the service. You can disable delivery immediately in system Settings. For questions about retained records, contact us at the address below. Cloudflare's backup retention may delay removal from backups.
Tracking and analytics
Toned does not include advertising, tracking or third-party analytics. It reads local file metadata to manage your saved photographs and recipes; this information is not sent to the developer by the app.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date above.
