PRIVACY POLICY
Amethyst Scene (“Amethyst Scene,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Amethyst Scene app and the amethystscene.com website, how it is used, and what choices you have.
I. Overview
Amethyst Scene is built primarily as an on-device language tool. Browsing, searching, saving and organizing in the app happen on your device. Some features need a connection to work, and those are described below. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
II. Information We Collect
a. Information you provide directly
What you submit through the inquiry form in the app or on the website: your name, email address, subject and message.
b. Purchases and subscriptions
Subscriptions are purchased and processed by Apple through your App Store account. We do not receive your payment card or billing details.
The app receives from Apple the subscription status it needs to unlock Premium features.
c. Sign in with Apple
If you choose to sign in with Apple, we may receive the limited account information Apple provides, such as your name, email address (or Apple’s private relay address) and a stable Apple user identifier.
d. App data on your device and in iCloud
Your history, saved entries, expressions, Spaces and preferences are stored on your device.
If iCloud is turned on for your Apple account, this data is synced between your devices through your own private iCloud database, operated by Apple. We cannot read it.
e. Language features that use AI
Some features analyze or generate language with artificial intelligence. Some of them run on your device using Apple’s on-device model, and nothing leaves your device.
Others send the text you enter or select, and for spoken conversation the audio of your voice, through our server to Google’s Gemini service, which returns the response. Please don’t enter information you don’t want processed this way.
f. Easter egg hunt
When you find an Easter egg in the app, the app sends our server a random identifier for this installation, which egg was found, the language, your device model and system version. Our server also records the network address the find came from, and the approximate location (city, region, country) and network provider derived from that address. The find is also recorded in Apple’s iCloud for the hunt. We use this to verify finds and award prizes.
g. Live Activities
When you watch with Echo, the app sends our server a token from Apple and the playback status, so the card on your Lock Screen can be ended when you stop watching. The token is delivered through Apple’s push notification service.
h. Links you share into the app
If you share a post from X into the app, the app retrieves the post’s text from FxTwitter (api.fxtwitter.com), a public service that reads X posts. Links you save are kept with your expressions.
i. Where the app is used
Once a day, when you open the app, it sends our server the same random identifier for this installation, whether Premium is active, your device model, system version and language. Our server records the approximate location (city, region, country) and network provider derived from your network address. We use this to count active devices and see where the app and Premium are used. It is not linked to your name or account.
j. Visits to the website
When you visit amethystscene.com, our server records the pages you open, the page that referred you, your device type, browser, operating system, language and time zone, your network address, and the approximate location (city, region, country) and network provider derived from that address. We use this to understand how the website is used.
When you follow a product on the Lifestyle page to our Etsy shop, we record that click with the same kind of information. Purchases are made on Etsy, under Etsy’s privacy policy.
The website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. It stores your theme and language choices in your browser, and sets a cookie only when you enter a page password.
III. How We Use Information
We use information to:
operate, maintain and improve the app and the website;
provide Premium features and restore purchases;
provide the features described above that you choose to use;
respond to inquiries;
run the Easter egg hunt and award its prizes;
protect the integrity, security and reliability of the service.
IV. Third-Party Services
Amethyst Scene relies on these providers, which process information under their own terms and privacy policies:
Apple: the App Store and StoreKit for subscriptions, Sign in with Apple, iCloud and push notifications;
Google: the Gemini service, for the AI features described above;
Cloudflare: hosting for the website and our server, and email delivery;
FxTwitter, a public service for reading X posts: retrieving the text of posts you share into the app.

V. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes in this Privacy Policy, including keeping inquiry correspondence, running the Easter egg hunt, understanding website use, verifying subscription status and meeting legal obligations.
App data on your device stays there until you delete it or remove the app. Data in your iCloud stays there until you delete it through the app or your iCloud settings.
