Wild Batch is made by Tugay Demir. This page says what the app does with information, in plain words.
The short version
- There is no account. You never give Wild Batch a name, an email address or a password.
- What you log (batches, cultures, readings, notes, photos) stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. We cannot see it.
- The app counts which screens and features are used, without your names, notes or amounts, so we can see what to improve.
- A photo you choose to scan is sent to be read by an AI service. No other photo leaves your phone.
- Nobody is tracked across apps or websites, and there is no advertising.
What stays with you
Everything you record in Wild Batch is stored on your iPhone. If you are signed in to iCloud, it is also saved to your private iCloud database, which Apple runs and only you can read. We have no access to either.
Usage counts
Wild Batch uses Google's Firebase Analytics to count events such as "a recipe was opened" or "a batch was started", together with the craft and the built-in recipe involved. These counts are tied to a random identifier for the app's installation, not to you. They never include the names you give things, your notes, your amounts or your photos. The advertising identifier is not used.
Purchases
Purchases are made through Apple. Wild Batch uses RevenueCat to know whether Wild Batch Pro is active on your device and to restore it. RevenueCat receives the purchase record and a random identifier; it does not receive your name, email address or payment details, which stay with Apple.
The photo scan
When you choose to scan a photo, the photo is sent to our server together with the craft, the built-in recipe, the step you are on and how long the batch has been going. The batch's name and your notes are not sent. Our server passes the photo to Google's Gemini service to be read and returns the answer to your phone. We do not keep the photo. Google may retain what it is sent and use it to improve its services, under its own terms. To limit how many scans one device can make in a day, our server keeps a count against a random identifier for two days.
The first launch
The first time the app is opened after it is installed, it tells us that one installation happened, with the app's version, the phone's language and the country the request came from. Nothing that identifies you or your phone is sent, and nothing is stored.
