Platea is made by Altrivx ("we"). This policy explains what the Platea iPhone app does with your information. It is short because the app collects very little.
Everything you record — dish names, ratings, notes, prices, places, dates and the photos themselves — is stored on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, it is also stored in your own private iCloud database, which is controlled by your Apple Account. We have no access to that database. Apple's handling of it is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Platea asks for camera access so you can photograph a dish, and for photo library access when you choose an existing photo. The image is processed on device and saved into Platea's own storage. Platea does not read your photo library beyond the photos you explicitly pick, and it never uploads photos to us.
Platea asks for "while using the app" location access for two optional features: suggesting nearby places when you record a dish, and the "Nearby" filter in the capsule machine. Your coordinates are used to query Apple Maps and are not stored by us or sent anywhere else. If you decline, those two features are hidden and everything else works normally.
Platea uses TelemetryDeck to count anonymous usage events, such as how often a screen is opened or whether an automatic cut-out succeeded. These events carry no name, email, photo, dish content or precise location, and are not linked to your identity. They exist so we can tell whether a feature works, not who is using it.
Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Platea receives only whether a valid Platea+ entitlement exists. We never see your payment details.
Settings → Data → Delete all data removes every dish, photo and place from the device and from your iCloud database. Deleting the app removes the local copy; if you want the iCloud copy gone as well, use Delete all data before deleting the app.
Platea is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update the date at the top of this page and note the change in the app's release notes.
