2. The Principle: KLAR Does Not Collect Data

KLAR does not collect, store or transmit any personal data to us or to third parties. The app works entirely without its own server: there is no account, no registration, no login and no cloud sync. Everything you capture in KLAR is processed and stored exclusively on your iPhone — it never leaves your device through the app.

3. Processing Happens Only on Your Device

All KLAR features run on-device using Apple system frameworks:

  • Text recognition (OCR): Photos and screenshots are converted to text directly on your iPhone via the Apple Vision Framework. Images are never sent to any server.
  • AI analysis: Appointments, payments and tasks are recognized by Apple Foundation Models directly on the device. No content is sent to external AI providers.
  • Speech recognition: Voice notes are transcribed locally using the iOS Speech Framework. No audio data leaves your device.

4. Local Storage

  • All recognized items (appointments, payments, tasks, notes) are stored in a local database (SQLite) on your iPhone.
  • Original images are stored AES-256 encrypted in the app's private storage. The key is held in your device's iOS Keychain.
  • We never have access to this data.

5. Backup via iCloud (Apple)

KLAR does not operate its own cloud sync. Your KLAR data is backed up exclusively through the iPhone's own device backup (iCloud backup or local backup), if you have enabled it in iOS. This backup is provided and encrypted by Apple; KLAR has no access to it. Apple is responsible for processing within the iCloud backup. For more information, see Apple's Privacy Policy.

6. No Tracking, No Analytics, No Third Parties

  • KLAR contains no tracking, analytics or advertising SDKs.
  • No usage data, device data or content data is transmitted to us or to third parties.
  • Notifications (e.g. reminders for appointments) are generated locally on your device — no push service with a server connection is used.

7. Purchase via the App Store

KLAR is a paid app. The purchase is handled exclusively by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes your data (e.g. Apple ID, payment information) under its own responsibility; KLAR does not receive any personal data from the purchase process. For details, see Apple's Privacy Policy.

8. Data Deletion

Since KLAR does not store any data on servers, there is nothing to delete server-side. When you remove the app from your iPhone, iOS automatically deletes all KLAR data: the local database, the encrypted original images and the stored settings. KLAR data contained in an existing iCloud/device backup can be managed in the iOS settings (Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Backups).

9. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Since KLAR does not collect or store any personal data about you, we generally hold no data to which these rights could apply. For any questions, contact us at kontakt@huthfabrik.de.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Hessischer Beauftragter für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Postfach 3163, 65021 Wiesbaden, Germany.
