An App That Gives You Real Captions
Tomiwa built Glance Captions to help you get sweet, real captions. We don't plan to monitor you or sell your data. This page explains what we collect, why our app collects it, and the controls that you have. Abeg, you're totally safe

What we collect
The short answer: only what the app needs to work.
We collect
- Account details like your email, display name, sign-in method, and selected country.
- Prompt text and optional media you provide to generate captions.
- Generated caption results and related settings like tone, platform, length, and hashtag count.
- Local app preferences such as theme, saved presets, favorite captions, and onboarding state.
- Usage signals through Firebase Analytics and optional notification-related device tokens.
- Purchase status and receipt verification details when you subscribe.
We do not collect
- Your full payment card number.
- A hidden social graph or ad-targeting profile.
- Permission to send push notifications unless you opt in.
- Your content as a permanent file locker for long-term media storage.
Accounts
How sign-in works
You can create or access a Glance Captions account with email and password, Google, or Apple. Depending on the sign-in method, we may receive your email address, display name, and profile image from the provider. We also store account metadata such as your plan level, usage counters, and country selection.
If you sign in with Apple, Apple may provide a private relay email instead of your personal email. Apple also only shares some profile fields, like name and email, the first time you authorize them.
Uploads and prompts
Your media is used to generate captions, not to become a content dump.
When you type a description, or optionally upload an image or video, that input is used to generate caption suggestions. In the current app flow, media files are uploaded to temporary cloud storage, passed to our backend generation pipeline, and then deleted from temporary storage after the request finishes or fails.
1
You choose the prompt
Text, images, and videos are only sent when you actively ask the app to generate something.
2
We process the request
The request may flow through Firebase-hosted backend services and AI-processing providers we use to return your caption output.
3
Temporary upload cleanup
Temporary storage copies are intended to be deleted once processing completes. A failed cleanup may delay deletion briefly.
Captions and history
We store the outputs you ask us to create.
Glance saves generated captions and related metadata so you can view recent results, copy them, and keep your workflow moving. That may include the selected platforms, tone, goal, hashtag count, created time, and expiry-related timestamps tied to the caption result.
The client flow treats caption history as short-lived rather than permanent. You can also clear your history. Separately, saved presets and favorite-caption markers are stored locally on your device using app storage.
Analytics and notifications
Signals we use to improve the app
Analytics
Glance enables Firebase Analytics to understand app usage, feature adoption, and general product performance. This helps us improve the app experience and prioritize what to build next.
Notifications
Push notifications are optional. If you grant permission, Apple or Google may generate device-level tokens that can be used to deliver notifications. You can change notification preferences in your device settings at any time.
Subscriptions and payments
Billing runs through the stores, not through a custom card vault.
If you subscribe to Glance Pro, payments are handled by the App Store or Google Play. We may receive receipt or purchase-verification data needed to activate and manage your plan, but we do not receive your full card number from Apple or Google.
Third-party providers
The services that help us run Glance
Google and Apple sign-in
Used when you choose those sign-in methods instead of email and password.
App Store and Google Play
Used for subscription purchases, restore flows, and billing verification.
Backend AI processing partners
Used through our backend generation pipeline to create caption outputs from the prompts you submit.
Retention
How long we keep information
- Account information is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period after for security, legal, support, and backup purposes.
- Temporary uploaded media is intended to be deleted after processing completes or fails.
- Caption history is designed to be limited rather than indefinite, and you can clear it.
- Locally saved presets, favorites, and theme choices remain on your device until you remove them, clear app data, or uninstall the app.
- Purchase and subscription records may be retained as needed for verification, tax, fraud-prevention, and compliance reasons.
Your controls
You still get buttons.
Inside the app
- Sign out of your account.
- Reset your password if you use email login.
- Clear caption history.
- Delete your account and associated caption history.
- Change theme and notification permissions.
By contacting us
- Ask for access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion where applicable.
- Ask questions about the way your data is handled.
