Letter Brief (com.shuhratjon.letterbrief) for iPhone · Effective 1 October 2026

The short version. Letter Brief reads your letter on your iPhone. The page image and its text are not sent to us or to anyone else. There is no account, no tracking, no advertising, and no third-party analytics. We do not collect personal data.

Who we are

Letter Brief is made by Shuhrat Soliev, an individual developer. Contact: shuhrat.soliev@gmail.com, phone +1 914 650 2041.

How the app reads a letter

Text is read on your iPhone with Apple’s on-device Vision text recognition. Page edges are also found on the iPhone. The brief (what the letter is, what it asks, the date, the amount, and what it says happens next) is built on your iPhone from the words on the page. Letter Brief does not upload the page image or the text to a server. The app has no server of its own.

Camera, photos, and files

Camera. Used only when you tap to scan, to photograph the pages you choose. You can say no and still import a photo or a PDF.
Photos. Letter Brief uses Apple’s photo picker. The app receives only the photos you pick, only to read those pages. It does not browse your library.
Files. You can import a PDF or an image you pick in the Files picker. When you export, you choose where the PDF goes (for example, Files or the share sheet).

What is stored on your iPhone

Your letters. The page images, the text read from them, and the brief are saved in the app’s private storage on this iPhone so they appear under Recent. They use iOS file protection and are excluded from iCloud and computer backups. Swipe a letter away to delete it. Deleting the app deletes them all.
Your signature. A signature you draw is kept in memory only while you place it, and goes only into the separate signed PDF you save. The app does not keep a copy of it.
Exported PDFs. The app writes a temporary copy so the share sheet can save it. Temporary copies are removed the next time the app opens. The copy you save is wherever you chose to put it.
The free-brief flag. Your first brief is free. To remember that it was used, the app stores a single on/off value in the iPhone’s Keychain, on this device only, with no iCloud sync. It contains no personal information. iOS may keep Keychain values after the app is deleted, so reinstalling does not reset the free brief.

Subscriptions and purchases

Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store under your Apple Account. We do not see your name, email, card, or billing address. The app asks Apple’s StoreKit, on your iPhone, which plans exist and whether your subscription is active. Restore Purchases asks Apple to re-check your Apple Account.

Letter Brief Pro plans: Annual (1 year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts), Monthly (1 month), and Weekly (1 week). The app shows the exact price for your storefront, taken from the App Store, before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price until canceled. To cancel, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

Terms of Use: Letter Brief uses Apple’s standard end user license agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Analytics, tracking, and advertising

No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. No advertising and no ad networks.
No tracking, no access to the advertising identifier, and no data sold or shared.
No account, no sign-in, no contacts, and no location.

If you chose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s settings, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports and usage totals through App Store Connect. That is controlled by Apple and by your iPhone settings, not by Letter Brief.

Network use

The app connects only to Apple’s services, for the App Store and subscriptions. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy links open in your browser.

Your choices and deletion

There is no account, so there is no account to delete and nothing about you is held on a server. Delete a letter by swiping it away under Recent, or delete the app to remove all saved letters. Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings.

Children

Letter Brief is not directed at children. It does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

What the brief is

The brief summarizes the words printed on your page. It is a reading aid, not advice. If a fact is not on the page, the brief says “Not found in this letter.” Check the original letter before you act.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
