DancifyPrivacy policy
Your dancing stays yours
Effective 4 November 2026
The short version
- Dancify collects no data. There's no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. On the App Store the app's privacy label is Data Not Collected.
- Your videos and your diary stay on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, they're kept in your own private iCloud, which we can't see.
- Follow and the pose guide work on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us for processing, and we have no server that receives your data.
- This website uses no cookies and no analytics. It remembers your language choice in your browser, and that's all.
1. Who we are
Dancify is made by AppRise Ventures Oy, Espoo, Finland (business ID 3336104-8). We are the controller for anything this policy covers. You can reach us at appriseven@gmail.com.
This policy covers the Dancify app for iPhone and iPad and this website, dancify.studio.
2. What we collect
Nothing. Dancify has no sign-up and no account, and it contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking software. The app doesn't send your recordings, your diary or information about how you use it to us or to anyone else. We don't run a server for the app.
Because nothing leaves your device in a way we can access, Apple's App Store privacy label for Dancify reads Data Not Collected, and the app never asks for permission to track you.
3. What stays on your device
Everything you make in Dancify is stored in the app's own storage on your iPhone or iPad:
- your recordings, their frames and any edits or reels you export;
- your diary: sessions, notes, tags, favourites, milestones and pieces;
- practice settings such as tempos and the reference video you chose for each piece, and videos you add to the reference shelf.
Deleting a recording or an entry in the app deletes it from the app. Deleting the app deletes everything stored in it on that device (but not what's in your iCloud, see below, or anything you saved to Photos).
4. Camera, microphone and photos
The app asks for these permissions only when you use the feature that needs them, and you can change them any time in the Settings app:
| Permission | What it's used for |
|---|---|
| Camera | Recording your practice. |
| Microphone | Recording sound with your video. |
| Photo library | Importing a video from Photos (for example a reference to dance along to) and saving takes, edits and reels to Photos when you choose to. |
Videos you pick from Photos or Files stay on your device. Dancify only sees the items you choose.
5. iCloud sync
iCloud sync is optional. When it's on, your diary and your videos are stored in your own private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit), so they appear on your other iPhone or iPad signed in to the same Apple Account. This data is held by Apple under your Apple Account and Apple's privacy policy. We have no access to your private iCloud database and can't read, download or delete what's in it.
You can turn sync off in Dancify's settings, and manage or delete the data in your iCloud storage settings on your device.
6. Follow and the pose guide
Follow (keeping focus and exposure on a dancer) and the pose guide (lines over the body for shoulders, hips and balance) use Apple's Vision framework, which runs on your device. The images are analysed on your iPhone or iPad and are not sent to us or to a cloud service. Dancify doesn't use generative AI. If you use a DockKit motorised stand, the stand follows you using Apple's on-device DockKit framework.
7. Purchases
Dancify Premium is sold by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles the payment and your Apple Account details; we never see your name, email or payment information. The app checks on your device, through Apple's StoreKit, whether your subscription is active. Apple shares anonymous sales reports with us, as it does with every developer.
8. Siri and Shortcuts
The app offers Siri and Shortcuts actions (Record practice, Log practice, Open today, Show progress for a piece). They run on your device. The names of your pieces may be indexed in Spotlight on your device so you can find them; that index stays on the device.
9. This website
This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising. As with any website, the host processes the technical data needed to deliver pages to you (such as your IP address and browser type) in their server logs, under its own privacy policy; we don't use that data to identify you.
If you pick a language in the menu, or dismiss the suggestion to switch language, your browser remembers it in local storage under the key dancify-lang. It stays in your browser, is never sent to us, and you can clear it with your browser's site data settings.
Links to the App Store take you to Apple, whose own privacy policy then applies.
10. Children
Dancify collects no data from anyone, including children. Young dancers can use it the way a family sets up their device; parents can manage camera, microphone and photo access, iCloud and purchases with Apple's Screen Time and Family Sharing.
11. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have rights to access, correct and delete personal data, and to complain to a supervisory authority (in Finland, the Data Protection Ombudsman, tietosuoja.fi). Since we hold no personal data about you from the app or the website, there's nothing for us to hand over or delete: your data is on your device and in your iCloud, under your control. If you email us, we use your message only to reply and delete it when the conversation is done.
12. Changes
If Dancify ever starts collecting any data, we'll update this policy and the App Store privacy label before that version is released, and change the date at the top.
