Privacy

Last updated 4 September 2026

The short version: your screenshots never leave your phone. There is no account, nothing is tracked, and nothing is sold. If you delete the app, everything Nylo knew goes with it.

What Nylo reads

Nylo reads the screenshots in your photo library so it can pull out the useful bit — a Wi-Fi password, a code, a booking reference. It only looks at screenshots. Your photos and videos are skipped.

The reading happens on your phone, using text recognition that Apple already builds into iOS. No picture is ever sent anywhere to be read.

What Nylo keeps

• The text it found in your screenshots, saved on your phone only.
• Anything you typed, pasted, said or sent into the app.
• Your first name, if you told it one. You can leave that blank.
• Your last few searches, so you can tap one again. You can clear these in the app.
• A handful of settings, like whether you have finished the intro.

All of it sits on your device. There is no copy on a server, because there is no server holding your things.

What Nylo does not do

• No account. Nothing to sign into, no profile on any server.
• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising ID.
• Nothing is sold or shared with anyone.
• Your screenshots stay in Photos. Nylo never deletes them.

The one thing that leaves your phone

Nylo makes exactly one kind of request over the internet: it asks whether your subscription is active. That request carries no screenshot, no text from one, and nothing personal. It asks a question and gets back yes or no.

This goes through RevenueCat, which handles subscriptions for the app. They see an anonymous ID for your device and what you bought — never your content. Apple handles the payment itself, and Nylo never sees your card.

Microphone and speech

If you hold the mic button to say something, your phone turns your speech into text on the device itself. The audio is not kept and it is not sent anywhere. Nylo asks for the microphone only when you first use that button, and if you say no, it simply does not offer it.

Children

Nylo is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them.

If this changes

If a future feature ever needs to send your content somewhere, the app will say so before it does, and you will have to turn it on yourself. That is not just a promise here — it is what the App Store privacy label commits to, and changing it means a new label everyone can see.
