Privacy Policy
In short: your camera image never leaves your phone, is never recorded and is never sent anywhere. Deepdesk has no server of its own and does no advertising, analytics or tracking. Your session history stays on your device, and in your own iCloud account if you turn on iCloud sync.
This policy explains what information the Deepdesk app for iOS and iPadOS ("Deepdesk", "the app"), developed by Arslan Bilecen, handles and how.
1. Camera
Deepdesk uses the front camera during focus sessions and calibration. The image is processed only on your device, in real time, to understand things like checking your phone, looking away, dozing off and posture.
- No images or video are ever recorded or stored.
- Images are never sent to a server, to us or to any third party.
- Only numeric results (such as focus state and score) are derived from the image, and they stay on your device too.
2. Information stored on your device
To work, the app stores the following on your device:
- Your session records: start and end time, session type, durations, focus score, number of distractions, timeline, the goal you wrote and your own rating, and posture and eye-break summaries.
- The shelf stickers you've earned, your settings and your personal calibration values.
- Today's summary for the Home Screen widget and Live Activity (in a shared app container on your device).
- Only if you turn on "Raw signal log": each session's frame-by-frame numeric values (not images) as a CSV file. Only you can export this file.
3. iCloud sync
If iCloud sync is on, your session records and earned stickers are stored in the private database of your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit and synced between your devices. We cannot access this data. Camera images and raw signal logs are never synced. You can turn sync off in Settings.
4. Subscriptions (RevenueCat)
Deepdesk Premium subscriptions are sold through Apple; your payment details are handled by Apple and never shared with us. To verify your subscription we use RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives an anonymous user ID created by the app, your purchase and subscription records, and basic technical information such as country, app version and operating system. This is used only to provide, renew and restore your subscription; your name, email and camera data are never sent.
5. Notifications, widgets and Siri
- Reminders are local notifications created on your device; we send no marketing notifications.
- Widgets and the Live Activity show only information stored on your device.
- Requests you make through Siri and Shortcuts are handled under Apple's privacy terms.
6. What we don't collect
Deepdesk has no server of its own. The app shows no ads, uses no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, doesn't track you across other apps and websites, and doesn't ask you to create an account.
7. Deleting your data
- Settings > "Delete all session history" deletes your session records and raw signal logs.
- Deleting the app removes all Deepdesk data from your device.
- You can manage the iCloud copy in iPhone Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

8. Children
Deepdesk is suitable for all ages and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
9. Your rights
To exercise your rights under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), including access, correction and deletion, or to ask a question about this policy, contact us.
10. Changes
If we update this policy, we'll publish the new version on this page and change the effective date.
