Clara: AI Photo Enhancer
Effective October 17, 2026
The short version
The iPhone app has no accounts, no tracking, no ads and no selling data. Photos you enhance are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers within 30 days. Your enhanced photos live on your device. To improve the app we use PostHog analytics, including unmasked session recordings of the app screen, which can show your photos, and crash reports (see below). The optional web version at clara.yiribaai.com does have accounts, and its website and web app use PostHog too; see section 7.
1. What we collect
• Photos you choose to enhance: uploaded over an encrypted connection solely to run the enhancement, stored temporarily, and automatically deleted from our servers within 30 days. We never use your photos to train AI models, and no human reviews the photo as part of the enhancement. A photo shown on screen can appear in a session recording (see below).
• An anonymous device identifier: a random ID created on your device, used to keep track of your Pro access (your subscription or lifetime purchase) and any enhance credits left from an older pack, and to count the app usage events below. It is not linked to your name, email, phone number, or any other identity.
• Network address of uploads: when a photo is uploaded, our server keeps the IP address the upload came from, together with the anonymous device identifier, and works out an approximate location from it (country, region and city, using an IP lookup service). We use it to support you and to spot abuse. It is not sent to PostHog or any AI provider, and we delete it on request (support@yiriba.com).
• Purchase records: payments are processed entirely by Apple. We receive only an anonymous confirmation that a purchase occurred so we can unlock Pro. We never see your payment details.
• App usage events: which screens you reach and a few actions you take in the app (for example finishing the first steps, how long an enhance took, seeing the upgrade screen, completing a purchase), plus when the app is installed, updated, opened or closed. Each event is sent with the anonymous device identifier above, the app version, and basic device details the analytics software adds automatically (device model, iOS version, language and time zone settings). Events go to PostHog (PostHog, Inc., United States), our product analytics provider, which stores them for us and does not use them for its own purposes or for advertising. PostHog also receives the IP address the events are sent from and uses it to estimate an approximate location (country and city). We use these events only to understand how Clara is used and to improve it. Usage events themselves never include your photos.
• Session recordings: PostHog also records the app screen as you use it, together with where you tap and the app's network requests, so we can see where the app is confusing and fix it. Recordings are NOT masked: they show everything on screen, including the photos you pick and your enhanced results. They are sent with the same anonymous device identifier, viewed only by us to improve the app, and handled by PostHog on the same terms as the usage events above.
• Crash reports: if the app crashes, PostHog receives a technical report of the error with the same anonymous device identifier, so we can fix it.
• In-app surveys: the app can show a short PostHog survey; any answer you choose to give is sent with the anonymous device identifier.
2. What we don’t do
• In the iPhone app: no user accounts, emails, or phone numbers collected. (The web version asks for an email address to create an account; see section 7.)
• No advertising, no advertising trackers, no data brokers.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of your data with third parties for marketing.
• No AI training on your photos.
3. Face data
Some photos you choose to enhance may contain human faces. When that happens, Clara’s AI enhancement rebuilds detail across the whole image, including blurry, old, or damaged faces, so the photo looks clearer. This works only on the image (the pixels) of the specific photo you selected.
Clara does not collect or create biometric face data. It does not perform facial recognition, does not identify or verify who a person is, does not match faces against any database, and does not generate or store any faceprint, face template, face geometry, or other biometric identifier. It does not use Face ID, the TrueDepth camera, ARKit face tracking, or any face-detection framework on your device. The enhancement is used solely to improve the photo you asked us to enhance: never to identify anyone and never to train AI models. No human reviews the photo as part of the enhancement; it can appear in a session recording of the app screen, which only we view, to improve the app (see “What we collect”). Like all photos, any photo containing a face is processed transiently and automatically deleted from our servers within 30 days (see “Data deletion” below).
4. Service providers
To provide the enhancement service, photos are processed by our cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, US region) and by one third-party AI processing provider, which performs the image enhancement on our behalf. These providers act as our service providers under strict data-processing terms: they process the photo transiently only to perform the enhancement you requested, do not retain it beyond the processing window described above, do not use it to train models, and do not use it for their own purposes. No other personal data is sent to any AI provider. Product analytics, session recordings (which can show your photos), approximate location, in-app surveys and crash reports are handled by PostHog (PostHog, Inc., United States) as our service provider, only to help us improve the app. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone for advertising or marketing, and we do not use data brokers.
5. Data deletion
Server-side copies of photos are deleted automatically within 30 days. You can also use Settings → Delete my data in the app at any time to remove enhanced photos stored on your device. Your Pro access and any remaining enhance credits are kept so you don’t lose what you paid for. Usage events, session recordings and crash reports already sent to PostHog are not removed by that button; email us at support@yiriba.com and we will delete them.
6. Children
Clara is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. The Clara website and web app
Clara also runs in the browser at clara.yiribaai.com/app. Unlike the iPhone app, the web version has accounts. This section applies to the website (clara.yiribaai.com) and the web app only.
• Your account: to use the web app you create an account with an email address and a password. We store your email address and a salted, hashed form of your password (we cannot read it), and we use your email only to run the account, to let us know a new account was created, to send a password-reset link when you ask for one, and to answer support requests. Staying logged in keeps a sign-in token in your browser's storage until you log out or it expires after 30 days.
• Photos: photos you render in the web app are uploaded over an encrypted connection to the same cloud infrastructure and AI provider described above, and deleted automatically within 30 days. Your first render on the web is a free preview that carries a watermark. A list of the photos you rendered, with any Adjust settings you chose for them (brightness, contrast, color and so on), stays in your account until those files expire. Your adjustments are applied when you save or share a photo; the stored render itself is not changed.
• Payments: web render packs are bought through Stripe (Stripe, Inc., United States), which collects and processes your card details. We never see or store your card number; we receive confirmation that a payment succeeded, the amount, and your email address. Web credits belong to your web account and are separate from the iPhone app.
• Website and web app analytics: our pages use PostHog (PostHog, Inc., United States) to see what visitors do so we can improve them: the pages you view, what you click and tap, how far you scroll, the type of device and browser, your language and time zone, and an approximate location (country and city) PostHog works out from your IP address. When you are logged in, this activity is linked to your email address. PostHog sets a cookie and uses your browser's local storage to recognise a returning visitor. PostHog also records your session on these pages (what is on screen, your clicks, and what you type). These recordings are NOT masked: they can show your photos, your results and your email address. Password fields are always hidden. Recordings are viewed only by us, to improve the site, and PostHog handles them on the same terms as the usage events described above. We also use Vercel Web Analytics (Vercel, Inc., United States), which counts page views without cookies.
• Share links: if you choose "Get a public link" on a rendered photo, we create a link that anyone who has it can open to see the finished photo (never your original). The link is hard to guess, and only the people you give it to will have it, but anyone who has it can pass it on. Opening it does not need an account. You can turn it off any time with "Stop sharing", and it stops working when the photo is deleted after 30 days. The link page does not run PostHog; opening it is counted only as a page view by Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies.
• Deleting your web account: email support@yiriba.com and we will delete your account and the analytics data linked to your email address. We keep payment records we are required to keep.
8. Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.
