Privacy Policy for Meshy

Effective date: 23 October 2026

Meshy (“the App”) is developed and operated by Steven McWee (“we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information.

1. Information We Collect

Meshy does not require an account. It uses optional Aptabase analytics to understand which features people use and improve the app. These statistics are not linked to your identity.

We record the following actions:

  • App openings
  • Completed wallpaper generation
  • Successful wallpaper saves
  • Exhaustion of the five-free-save allowance
  • Premium screen views
  • Accepted purchase-button actions

Each event includes its time, a temporary session identifier, app and SDK versions, operating-system information, device model and language. Analytics also includes approximate country/region, as explained below.

Analytics does not include your wallpapers, selected colours, entered text, filenames, receipts, transaction identifiers or purchase details. Meshy does not send names, email addresses, advertising identifiers or persistent user or device identifiers with analytics.

2. How the App Works and Your Analytics Choice

Meshy creates and customises wallpapers on your device. Your wallpaper images are not uploaded by Meshy, and an internet connection is not required for wallpaper creation or customisation.

Analytics is enabled by default, but recording begins only after you choose Continue with analytics on the first-run notice. You can instead choose Turn off analytics, or change your choice later in App information → About.

Your choice does not affect Meshy’s features, free-save allowance or purchases.

Turning analytics off stops recording new events. Previously queued events may still be sent, and previously collected data remains subject to the retention policy below.

An internet connection is used to send analytics when enabled and may be required to make or restore an in-app purchase through Apple.

3. Photos Permission

Meshy may request permission to save images to your device’s photo library.

  • This access is used only to save wallpapers you choose to export
  • Meshy does not access, read, or upload your existing photos
  • Saved images are managed by Photos and your Apple/iCloud settings

You can manage or revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.

4. Data Sharing and Hosting

Analytics is shared with Aptabase and its service providers to provide this service. We do not sell it or use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Aptabase temporarily processes your IP address and User-Agent to derive approximate country/region and an app-specific, daily-changing pseudonym. The IP address and User-Agent are not retained with the analytics data. Our Aptabase analytics is processed and stored in its EU region.

Meshy does not transmit your wallpaper designs or photo library contents to Aptabase.

5. Third-Party Services and Retention

Aptabase retains collected analytics for up to five years, or until the corresponding Aptabase application or account is deleted, whichever happens first.

We do not maintain a mapping between your identity and analytics events, so we may be unable to locate an individual person’s records for deletion. You can contact us about any privacy request, and we will assess it.

Aptabase processes analytics on our behalf under its Data Processing Agreement. You can also read the Aptabase Privacy Policy.

Meshy does not use third-party advertising or crash-reporting services.

Apple handles purchases and payment processing through the App Store and StoreKit. Meshy uses these services to offer a one-time in-app purchase and restore previous purchases. We do not receive your payment card details or Apple Account credentials.

Apple provides transaction and entitlement information needed to confirm a purchase or restore access. This information is not sent to Aptabase. For more information, see App Store & Privacy.

6. Children’s Privacy

Meshy is designed for a general audience. The optional analytics described above applies whenever analytics is enabled. Parents or guardians with privacy concerns can contact us.

7. Security

Wallpaper generation and image processing take place on your device. Analytics is transmitted to Aptabase over HTTPS. Purchase processing is secured and managed by Apple.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the effective date at the top of this document.
