Privacy and architecture (per-app data handling): https://thelittlebakery.org/privacy-architecture/
Terms: https://thelittlebakery.org/terms/

Data handling, in one line per app: every app processes files on the user's own
device, requires no account, and contains no analytics, attribution, advertising
or crash-reporting SDK. iCloud is used by Reel Brand only, only when the user
enables it, and only to sync their own PNG brand-icon library through their
private iCloud container — never video. JsonXmlEditor and Imagario do not use
iCloud at all.
