1. Scope
These terms govern your use of the uncover app for iOS and of the website getuncover.app. They are provided by Fabian Geistert, Adalbert-Stifter-Str. 11, 1200 Vienna, Austria ("we", "us"). By using uncover you agree to these terms.
You get uncover from Apple's App Store. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA) applies to your licence of the app, and these terms add the rules specific to uncover. If the two conflict, these terms take precedence to the extent the standard EULA allows. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle data.
2. Who can use uncover
You must be at least 16 years old to use uncover. You need an iPhone with a supported version of iOS. uncover is intended for personal, non-commercial use.
3. What uncover does
uncover scans the photo library on your iPhone, finds faces, groups photos of the same person and lets you name those people and send them photos through the iOS share sheet. All of this runs on your device, using machine-learning models built into the app. We never receive your photos, faces or contacts.
Face recognition is never perfect. uncover can group different people together, miss faces, or suggest the wrong name or contact. Please check who a photo is going to, and which photos are included, before you send it. You decide what gets sent. uncover never sends anything on its own.
4. Photos of other people
You are responsible for the photos you send and for whom you send them to. Only send photos you are entitled to share, and respect the privacy and the right to their own image of the people shown (§ 78 of the Austrian Copyright Act, and similar laws in other countries). You must not use uncover to:
- identify strangers or monitor, track or profile other people
- harass, embarrass or expose anyone, or send photos that someone has asked you not to share
- process photos in a way that breaks the law, including data protection law, or for commercial or professional purposes
5. Your content
Your photos, your contacts and the names you give people stay yours, and you grant us no rights to them. We never receive them. uncover never changes or deletes photos in your library or entries in your contacts. What uncover stores itself, such as face groups, names and settings, lives only on your device, is not backed up by us, and is deleted when you delete the app.
6. Licence and acceptable use
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use uncover on Apple devices that you own or control, in line with the App Store's usage rules. You must not:
- copy, modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the app, or extract its machine-learning models, except where the law expressly allows it
- get around the purchase checks for uncover Pro
- overload, attack or misuse our servers, including the download link and its interfaces
The app, its design, its texts and its models are protected by copyright. Open-source components are licensed under their own terms, which are listed in the app under Settings → Acknowledgements.
7. uncover Pro
uncover can be used for free. uncover Pro unlocks additional features through an in-app purchase. It is available as:
- a monthly or yearly subscription, which renews automatically
- a lifetime purchase, a one-time payment
The app shows the features, prices and any free trial before you buy. Prices include VAT where it applies.
Purchase and payment. Apple sells the purchase and takes the payment, under Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
Automatic renewal. A subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in the iOS Settings app, under your name → Subscriptions. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you keep Pro until then. If you buy a subscription during a free trial, any unused part of the trial ends.
Lifetime. A lifetime purchase unlocks Pro for as long as we offer uncover. It is tied to your Apple Account, and you can restore it on your other devices with "Restore Purchases".
Refunds and withdrawal. Because Apple is the seller, refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, and we cannot issue them ourselves. Consumers in the EU have a statutory right of withdrawal, which Apple handles under its terms. For digital content it can end early once delivery begins, if you have expressly agreed to that.
Price changes. We may change the price of subscriptions for future periods. Apple tells you in advance and, where the law requires it, asks for your consent. If you don't agree, you can cancel before the new price applies.
8. Changes to uncover
We develop uncover continuously and may change, add or remove features. We will not remove a Pro feature you have paid for during a subscription period you have already paid, unless it's needed for legal, security or technical reasons outside our control. uncover's core works offline. Its online parts, such as purchases and the download link, may occasionally be unavailable.
9. Warranty
If you are a consumer, your statutory warranty rights remain unaffected, including those for digital content and services under the Austrian Consumer Warranty Act (Verbrauchergewährleistungsgesetz). The free version of uncover is provided free of charge.
10. Liability
We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for personal injury, and under the Austrian Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are not liable, except for personal injury and where mandatory law provides otherwise.
We are not responsible for what you send or for what recipients do with it, or for the services of Apple or of the messaging app you use. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumer protection law gives you and that cannot be excluded by contract.
11. Ending use
You can stop using uncover at any time by deleting the app. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription, so cancel it in the iOS Settings app as described in section 7. We may block access to our online services for anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, particularly section 6.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when uncover gets new features or the law changes. We point out significant changes in the app before they take effect. Changes that affect your existing paid subscription only apply if they are reasonable for you, or if you agree to them. Otherwise you can cancel the subscription before they take effect.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you habitually live. Consumers can bring claims in the courts of the country where they live. For anyone who is not a consumer, the courts of Vienna, Austria have jurisdiction.
14. Dispute resolution
If something goes wrong, please write to us first at 
15. Final provisions
If any provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remain in force.
