Privacy Policy
The short version
- There are no accounts. Your photos and designs are stored on your iPhone.
- When you ask for a design, the photos and preferences you provide are sent to our AI providers (Google's Gemini models, reached through Rork's AI service) to analyze your mantel and create the image. That's the only reason they leave your device.
- We don't use your photos to train AI models, we don't sell your data, and we don't show ads or track you across other apps.
- Delete any design in the app, use Delete all my data in Settings, or uninstall the app.
Who we are
Mantelbox (the “app”) is operated by Green Lemonade, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“we,” “us”). Our mailing address is 132 Chief Justice Cushing Hwy, Unit 70, Cohasset, MA 02025, USA. You can reach us at support@mantelbox.app.
The app may appear on the App Store under the name of our founder’s Apple developer account while that account transfers to Green Lemonade, LLC. Either way, Green Lemonade, LLC is responsible for the app and this policy.
What the app handles
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Mantel photos you take or choose | To analyze your space and generate designs | Stored on your device. Sent to our AI providers when you request an analysis or design. |
| Inspiration photos, links and words you add | To understand your taste | Stored on your device. Sent to our AI providers with your request. |
| Generated designs, saved looks and your taste profile | So you can come back to them | Stored on your device only. |
| Basic in-app usage events (for example, “design created”) | To keep the app working well | Recorded on your device only. Not sent to us. |
| Subscription status and purchase records | To unlock what you paid for | Handled by Apple and our subscription provider, RevenueCat (see below). |
| Emails you send us | To answer you | Our support inbox. |
We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, precise location, or payment card details through the app. We don’t ask for camera roll access beyond the photos you pick, and the camera is used only when you choose to take a photo.
Photos and third-party AI
Creating a design requires sending your photo to an AI model that runs on a server. Before your first upload the app asks for your permission, and nothing is sent until you agree.
- Who processes it. Requests go through Rork AI Cloud, the AI service of Rork, the platform our app is built on, which passes them to Google’s Gemini models to analyze the photo and produce the design. These providers process your content to return a result to you, under their own terms and privacy policies, including Google’s Gemini API terms and privacy policy.
- What we do and don’t do. We don’t keep copies of your photos on our own servers (we don’t have any for this app), we don’t use your photos to train AI models, and we don’t sell or share them for advertising.
- Provider retention. AI providers may temporarily keep request data, for example to detect abuse, as their policies describe. We don’t control that retention.
- Please don’t include people. Mantelbox is for photographing rooms. Avoid photos that show faces, documents or other private information.
- AI results. Designs are AI-generated visualizations. They can contain mistakes, and products shown are illustrations, not exact listings.
Purchases
Subscriptions are sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase. Apple processes the payment; we never see your card details or Apple ID. To confirm what you’ve bought, the app uses RevenueCat, Inc., a subscription-management provider. RevenueCat receives a random identifier created by the app, your purchase and renewal records from Apple, and basic device information such as OS version and country. It does not receive your photos. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
Shopping links
When you tap a shopping link, it opens the retailer’s website or app (for example Amazon, Target, Walmart or Wayfair). From that point the retailer’s own privacy policy applies. Some links may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and the retailer may know you arrived from Mantelbox. The app labels affiliate links when they are used.
What we don’t do
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No advertising, and no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- No tracking across other companies’ apps or websites, as Apple defines tracking.
- No sale or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are used in U.S. state privacy laws.
Storage, backups and security
Your designs and photos are kept in the app’s private storage on your iPhone. If you use iCloud Backup or another device backup, iOS may include that data in your backup, which is governed by Apple’s terms. Data sent to AI providers travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we limit what leaves your device to what a design needs.
Your choices and deleting data
- Delete one design: open it in the app and choose Delete.
- Delete everything: Settings → Delete all my data removes your photos, designs, saved items and taste profile from the app.
- Uninstall: deleting the app removes its on-device data (other than any device backups you keep).
- Subscriptions: deleting data doesn’t cancel a subscription. Cancel in your iPhone’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
Because we don’t hold your photos or designs on our servers, there is usually nothing further for us to delete. If you’ve emailed us, you can ask us to delete those emails, and you can contact us with any privacy question or request, including requests under the laws of your state or country. We will respond within the time the law requires.
Children
Mantelbox is a home-decor app for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Where data is processed
We are based in the United States. Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, for example by adding accounts, cloud sync or a new provider, we will update this policy and the effective date above before the change takes effect, and ask for your consent in the app where the law requires it.
