This Privacy Policy explains how the JSON Pilot application ("JSON Pilot", "we", "us", "our") handles information when you use it on your iPhone. We are Georgii Shilovskii, an individual developer registered in Mexico, contactable at support@shilovskii.dev.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not install or use JSON Pilot.
JSON Pilot does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Every JSON document you open, paste, edit, search, diff, or query stays on your iPhone. There is no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no advertising, and no third-party analytics. The AI assistant runs entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence. Apple processes your in-app purchase or subscription through the App Store under Apple's own terms.
If you ever want to delete everything, delete the app. Inside the app, Settings → Data & Privacy → Clear Recents removes the saved history immediately.
When you use JSON Pilot, the app handles the following information locally on your iPhone only:
| Data | Where it lives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The JSON documents you open or paste, including any edits you make | A local SwiftData store inside the app sandbox (~/Library/Application Support/), plus the original files you opened (in Files / iCloud Drive / wherever they live) |
So you can reopen them from the Recents list, and so Save can write your edits back to the original file. |
| A security-scoped bookmark to the original file for each opened document | Same SwiftData store | So Save can resolve and overwrite the file you originally opened. |
| Your settings (appearance mode, accent color, syntax palette, etc.) | iOS UserDefaults for the app |
To remember your preferences across launches. |
| Your Pro entitlement state | iOS UserDefaults (cached) and the App Store (authoritative) |
So Pro features unlock instantly at launch. The cache is rewritten from the App Store entitlement on every launch and after every transaction. |
None of this data is uploaded, transmitted to a server we control, or shared with any third party. We do not see it, and we cannot recover it for you if you lose it.
None. We do not collect personal data, usage data, diagnostic data, advertising identifiers, or analytics events. We do not run any third-party SDK for tracking, attribution, crash reporting, or analytics. The app contains no analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting code.
JSON Pilot opens network connections in exactly two situations, both initiated by you:
URLSession.shared. The response opens in the workspace. JSON Pilot does not modify, log, or transmit that request anywhere else.The app does not make outbound connections on its own. It does not phone home, check for updates over the network, or report errors to a server.
JSON Pilot's AI assistant is powered by Apple Foundation Models — the on-device large language model that ships as part of Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones. The model is part of iOS; we do not download, embed, or update an AI model ourselves.
All inference runs on your iPhone. Your JSON, your questions, and the model's answers are processed locally by iOS. Nothing is sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Apple-hosted AI services, or any third party. JSON Pilot has no AI servers, no API keys, and no fallback to a cloud model.
The Foundation Models framework, when used by third-party apps like JSON Pilot, runs strictly on-device. Apple's Private Cloud Compute is reserved for Apple's own first-party Apple Intelligence features and is not invoked by our AI assistant. Because the assistant relies on Apple Intelligence as delivered in iOS, Apple's privacy practices for Apple Intelligence — described at apple.com/legal/privacy — apply to that processing layer. JSON Pilot itself receives nothing back beyond the generated text response, which is rendered in the chat sheet and not persisted anywhere outside transient app memory.
If your iPhone does not support Apple Intelligence, the AI assistant is automatically disabled and the chat surface tells you why. The rest of the app continues to work normally.
None. JSON Pilot does not request Camera, Photos, Microphone, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Location, Health, Bluetooth, Local Network, Speech Recognition, Motion, or any other iOS permission. The only system surfaces it touches are:
JSON Pilot is rated 16+ in the App Store. This rating reflects the fact that our AI assistant generates text: although it runs entirely on-device and answers from the JSON document you have opened, generative-AI output is not deterministic and cannot be guaranteed appropriate for younger users in every situation.
JSON Pilot is not directed at users under the age of 16 and does not knowingly process information from children. Parents and guardians who allow younger users to use JSON Pilot are responsible for supervising their use of the AI assistant.
No other third party receives any data from JSON Pilot. The app does not bundle any third-party SDKs.
Because all of your data stays on your iPhone and we never receive any of it, the rights typically granted under the GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy laws — to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data — are exercised entirely by you, on your own device:
.json file.If you nonetheless have questions about your rights, contact us at support@shilovskii.dev. Note that we will only be able to confirm that we do not hold any data about you, since we do not collect any.
JSON Pilot is a native iOS application. It does not use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or any other web-tracking technology, and it does not perform any online tracking. Do-Not-Track signals are therefore not applicable — there is nothing for us to track.
If we materially change this Privacy Policy, we will update the Last updated date above and, where required by law, notify you the next time you open the app or update through the App Store. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
