Privacy policy

Last updated October 2, 2026

Developer and contact

Sevenstead Darkroom is published by Lei Tang under the Sevenstead Apps brand. Contact tw92936969@gmail.com for support or privacy questions.

Local app records

User-entered recipes, film/developer details, temperature, steps, agitation intervals, recipe snapshots, elapsed times, process logs, notes and notification preferences remain in private local storage. No record is uploaded to the developer. There is no app account, developer backend, tracking, advertising or analytics SDK.

Photos and files

No camera, microphone, photo-library or scanning access. Backup imports use the system file picker. A manufacturer reference link opens the public ILFORD technical-downloads website externally; no technical documents are bundled and no endorsement is implied.

Local notifications

Optional step-end local notifications require permission and opt-in. Notification text can contain the user-entered step name. Delivery depends on system permissions and Focus settings. There are no remote push notifications. Restoring a backup pauses the run and disables notifications.

Exports and sharing

Log CSV contains completed process data and notes, not a restorable library. Complete .grainbath backups contain recipes, logs and any active run snapshot. Restored runs are paused. Files are not password protected; review names and notes before sharing. Files are sent only to destinations you choose, which handle them under their own policies. We cannot recall external copies.

Backups and restore

Restore validates a complete backup, saves a local before-restore recovery copy and replaces rather than merges the current library. Export a complete backup outside the app before uninstalling or changing devices. Apple device backups and Files providers follow your settings and their own policies. The app does not automatically synchronize your records.

Retention and deletion

Records remain until deleted or replaced. Deleting local records does not remove exports, before-restore copies or device backups. Uninstalling removes private local data and recovery copies. Manage external copies separately. Temporary exports may remain until removed by the system or app removal.

Voluntary support email

If you email support, we receive your email address and information you choose to send and use them to answer your request, not for marketing or tracking. Gmail handles this correspondence. Avoid sending private notes, files or complete backups unless necessary and you choose to share them. Correspondence is retained as needed to resolve requests and meet applicable obligations; contact the same address to request deletion.

Purchases and website

Apple handles the one-time App Store purchase and platform diagnostics under its own policies. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases, and the app does not receive payment-card details. This website has no account, advertising or analytics scripts. Cloudflare may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the site.

Policy changes

Changes in data practices will be reflected in this dated policy, in-app information and App Store privacy details.
