Venn

Privacy Policy

Last updated May 13, 2026

The short version

Venn does not operate any servers and never sees your photos, captions, or messages. Everything you share lives in your own iCloud account. We have no ability to access, read, or sell your data.

What data Venn stores

All data is stored exclusively in Apple's CloudKit service under your personal iCloud account:

  • Photos and videos — images you capture and share within a circle.
  • Captions — optional text you add to a photo.
  • Circle names — the name you give each group.
  • Apple-issued user IDs — used to identify circle members. These are opaque identifiers assigned by Apple; Venn never asks for your name or email address.
  • Display names — the name you choose to show to your circle members.

Who can see your data

Your photos and captions are visible only to people you have explicitly invited to a circle by sharing a private iMessage link. Nobody else — including Tinycube — can see your content.

Third-party services

Venn uses Apple CloudKit for storage and sync. Your data is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. Venn uses no other third-party services, analytics SDKs, or advertising networks.

Save to Photos

When you use "Save to Photos," Venn requests add-only permission to your photo library. This permission allows Venn to save a single image you choose. Venn cannot read or browse your photo library.

Data deletion

You can delete any photo, caption, reaction, or circle at any time within the app. Deleting a circle removes all associated content from iCloud. To delete all data, remove the app and delete the associated iCloud data from Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.

Children

Venn is rated 4+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because all data stays in the user's own iCloud account, parental iCloud Family Sharing controls apply.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
