Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 27, 2026
Our Privacy Promise
Kabynyt is owned, operated, and maintained by Gregory Yuzik (“us”, or “we”).
Your collection isn't just a feature of Kabynyt — it's the foundation. Kabynyt does not collect, store, transmit, or have access to your collection.
Every item you add — photos, notes, prices, metadata — lives in SwiftData on your iPhone or iPad. If you have iCloud enabled, it syncs through your private CloudKit container to your other Apple devices. Apple cannot read this data; Kabynyt cannot read this data; nobody but you can read this data.
What Kabynyt Collects
We want to be completely transparent: the app itself collects nothing about you. A few features hand specific data to third-party services on your behalf — those are listed below the table.
| Data Type | Collected by Kabynyt? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Your collection | ❌ No | Stored only on your device and your personal iCloud account. |
| Photos | ❌ No | Photos you attach to items stay in your private CloudKit container. |
| Names or emails | ❌ No | Kabynyt does not collect any personally identifiable information. |
| Usage analytics | ❌ No | Kabynyt does not track how you use the app. |
| Advertising data | ❌ No | There are no ads in Kabynyt and no advertising SDKs. |
| Location | ❌ No | Kabynyt does not request location. |
Data Providers
Some Kabynyt features query external services to identify items, look up barcodes, or fill in covers and metadata. Each request carries only what's needed for that lookup — never your collection, your other items, your name, your email, or anything that identifies you or your device. The table below lists every provider Kabynyt may contact and what each one receives.
| Provider | Used for | What's sent |
|---|---|---|
| Google Gemini | Photo identification, barcode deep-lookup, AI-assisted name search | The photo, barcode digits, or text query you initiated |
| Apple iTunes Search | Movies, TV, music, podcasts | Your title query or an Apple catalog ID |
| Open Library | Books | Your title query, ISBN, or work identifier |
| MusicBrainz | Music releases and metadata | Your artist/title query or a MusicBrainz release ID |
| Cover Art Archive | Music cover images | A MusicBrainz release ID |
| Discogs | Vinyl records | Your title query or a Discogs release ID |
| Wikipedia | General catalog entries | Your title query or a Wikipedia page slug |
Each provider's privacy policy governs how it handles the request after it leaves your device. Kabynyt does not retain photos, queries, or any other lookup data, and we do not see this traffic — requests go from your device directly to the provider.
Your Data Stays Yours
All of your content is stored exclusively on your device and in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. Your iCloud data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and protected by Apple's encryption.
Device Permissions
Kabynyt may request the following device permissions. No data from these permissions is ever sent to Kabynyt:
- Camera — Used to photograph collectibles and scan barcodes.
- Photo Library — Used to pick existing photos for items.
- Files — Used to pick CSV files for import and to write JSON snapshots for backup.
Apple Platform Services
- CloudKit — Syncs your collection through your personal iCloud account.
- StoreKit — Handles the Kabynyt+ subscription. Kabynyt never receives your payment details.
For more information, see Apple's Privacy Policy.
Subscriptions
Kabynyt+ is an optional auto-renewable subscription processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Kabynyt does not have access to your payment information.
Children's Privacy
Kabynyt does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Your Rights (International)
Regardless of where you live, Kabynyt's privacy-first architecture means your rights are inherently protected:
- Right of Access — All your data is on your device and in your personal iCloud account.
- Right to Rectification — You can edit or update any item directly within the app.
- Right to Erasure — Delete items within the app or delete the app itself.
- Right to Data Portability — Settings → Backup & Restore exports a JSON snapshot of your entire collection.
- Right to Object — Since Kabynyt performs no processing of your data, there is nothing to object to.
For EEA users, these rights are guaranteed under the GDPR. For Brazilian users, under the LGPD.
