Summary
- AskFrank is designed to be private by default.
- Home profile answers, checklist progress, notebook details, and selected repair photos are intended to stay on your device in this build.
- AskFrank does not sell personal information.
- AskFrank does not use third-party advertising or ad tracking.
- AskFrank Plus subscriptions are processed by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store.
Information stored on your device
- Home profile answers, maintenance task progress, reminder preferences, and home notebook details may be stored locally.
- Selected home maintenance photos and photo troubleshooting results may be stored locally while you use app features.
Photos and on-device analysis
- AskFrank may let you choose photos from your photo library for home maintenance troubleshooting.
- In this build, photo troubleshooting is designed around on-device analysis and does not require a cloud AI service for the core photo triage path.
- AskFrank may block or refuse photos that appear inappropriate or outside the app's residential home-maintenance purpose.
Notifications
- AskFrank may request permission to send local notifications for maintenance reminders.
- Notifications are optional. If you deny notification permission, you can still use the app.
Purchases and subscriptions
- AskFrank Plus subscriptions are processed by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store.
- Apple may process purchase, billing, subscription status, refund, and account information under Apple's own terms and privacy policy.
Retailer links
- AskFrank may provide outbound search links to retailers such as Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart.
- When you open one of those links, you leave AskFrank and the destination service may collect information under its own privacy policy.
What AskFrank does not do
- AskFrank is not designed to sell personal information, serve third-party ads, create public user profiles, publish user-generated content, or require account registration.
- AskFrank does not use non-Apple payment processors for digital subscription features.
