A policy about not having a policy.

Stabilize is an iOS app published by Dennis Schmidt, an independent software developer based in Berlin, Germany. "We" throughout this policy refers to Dennis Schmidt as a sole proprietor — there is no company, no team, no investors with a stake in your data.

If you want to reach a person about anything on this page, the address is hi@dmrschmidt.de.

Nothing. The app does not transmit any data about you, your device, or your usage. There is no analytics pipeline, no error reporting service, no identifier, no fingerprint, no cookie. The matrix below is exhaustive.

Stabilize asks for the minimum it needs to function. iOS handles the prompts; you can revoke any of these at any time from Settings → Privacy & Security.

That's the whole list. No microphone, camera, location, contacts, calendar, Bluetooth, local network, or motion sensor access is ever requested.

The optional one-time Stabilize Pro purchase is processed entirely by Apple's StoreKit framework. We never see your payment details, your Apple ID, or your billing address. We receive only a signed receipt from Apple confirming that the purchase happened, which the app verifies locally to unlock the feature.

Restoring a purchase — say, on a new phone — also runs through Apple. We don't store entitlements on any server, because we don't have one.

Zero. You can verify this with a network proxy of your choice. The only network activity attributable to Stabilize is the one Apple's StoreKit makes on our behalf — to fetch the Pro product listing and validate a purchase — and that traffic is between your device and Apple, not us.

The app is fully usable in airplane mode. Stabilization itself never needs an internet connection.

Stabilize doesn't collect data from anyone — minors included. The app is suitable for all ages and contains no advertising, no social features, and no content beyond what you bring to it from your own camera roll.

Because we don't hold any personal data about you, most of the rights you'd normally exercise — access, rectification, erasure, portability — have nothing to apply to on our side. If that changes in the future, we'll update this page and bump the effective date at the top.

If you bought Stabilize Pro and want a refund, that request goes through Apple's App Store refund process — we don't have access to your purchase records, and we can't issue refunds ourselves.

If we ever materially change what the app does — for example, if a future version were to add a sync feature that talks to a server — we'd revise this page first, update the effective date, and call it out in the app's release notes. The current intent is to keep the app fully on-device for as long as it keeps shipping.
