Nothing leaves your phone. Riper has no account, no server, no analytics and no advertising, and it makes no network requests at all.
Riper is made by Winning Beans, based in the United Kingdom.
Riper uses the camera for one thing: when you press Check ripeness it takes one photo and measures the colour inside the box on screen. The photo is analysed on your phone.
While that happens, the photo and one small crop of it are written to Riper’s own private temporary folder on your phone. They are not added to your photo library, they are not shown to anyone, and they are never sent anywhere. Your phone may clear that temporary folder at any time, and deleting the app deletes it.
Riper does not use the microphone.
Nothing. We receive no photos, no results, no usage statistics, no crash reports and no device identifiers. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code. On the App Store this is shown as “Data Not Collected”.
Only the temporary photo files described above. Your choice of fruit in Settings is kept while the app is open and is not saved.
Riper is bought once through the App Store. Apple handles the payment; we do not receive your card or account details.
There is no account and no sign-in.
Because we hold no personal data about you, most of these rights have nothing to act on — but they exist and we will honour them.
You have the right to ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict or object to how it is used, and to receive it in a portable form. To exercise any of them, email support@winningbeans.co.uk. We will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with our answer you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Delete the app. Nothing of yours exists anywhere else.
We collect nothing from anyone, children included.
If what the app does with data changes, this page changes first and the date at the top moves.
