PiegoPiego privacy policy
Piego scans, recognizes the text and files your documents on your iPhone. The app does not send Nebello your images, the recognized text or your document library.
This is a translation. The Italian text is the binding version.
This policy covers Piego for iPhone, which works with no account and no ads, and the Piego Pro subscription, sold by Apple through the App Store.
Who makes the app and how to reach us
Piego is made by Roberto Bello, Nebello, Via Circonvallazione 11A, 6965 Cadro, Switzerland. For privacy questions, or about data received through support, write to info@nebello.com.
Documents and settings on the device
Captured images, processed pages, recognized text (OCR), document names, folders, tags and filing rules are processed and stored in the app’s local container. Preferences such as the theme and the automatic-shot timer also stay on the device.
Edge detection, cropping, filters, text recognition, automatic filing, PDF creation and the Piego Pro features (text editing, signing, form filling, redaction and document names completed with details read in the text) run on the device. We do not use your documents to train models.
Signature, initials and your form details
The signature and initials you draw and the details you save in «I miei dati» are stored only on your iPhone, in protected files that can be read only while the phone is unlocked. They are excluded from iCloud Backup and never sent over the network.
Camera, Photos and Files
Piego asks for camera access to capture pages; you can change it in iOS Settings. Photos and files are imported through the iOS pickers: the app receives only the items you choose and does not ask for access to your whole photo library. It asks to add items to Photos only when you choose to export pages as images. It does not access the microphone, location or contacts.
Automatic copies, sharing and cloud services
If you turn on automatic copies, Piego saves a copy of each PDF to a folder in Files that you choose, iCloud Drive or another service included, or to a WebDAV server you specify. The WebDAV password is kept in the iPhone Keychain. The connection to your WebDAV server is the app’s only network traffic besides Apple services.
When you choose Share or save to Files, iOS hands the document to the app, recipient or place you select. From then on that copy follows the settings and policy of that service. Nebello does not receive a copy.
Piego does not sync your library with Nebello servers. Depending on your settings, iOS may include the app’s data in an iCloud or computer backup (except your signature, initials and form details): see Apple’s information on iCloud Backup.
Piego Pro subscription
The subscription is bought and managed with your Apple Account. Payment is handled by Apple: Nebello does not receive your name, card details or billing address. To know whether the subscription is active, Piego checks on the device the signed transactions Apple makes available to the app, without sending them to Nebello servers. Apple gives Nebello only aggregate sales and subscription reports.
Retention and deletion
Documents stay in the library until you delete them. Deleting a document does not delete copies already exported or existing backups: use the controls of the destination or of Apple for those. Deleting the app removes its local data as iOS does.
Support
If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. We use it to answer and solve the problem, and keep it as long as the request and any legal obligations require. Please do not send confidential documents: describe the problem or use a dummy document. This data is not used for advertising or profiling.
Diagnostics and Apple services
Piego contains no third-party advertising, tracking or analytics tools. Apple may process download, diagnostic and feedback information according to your device settings and its own policies. Test builds distributed through TestFlight also follow that service’s terms.
Your rights
For personal data Nebello receives you can ask for information, access, correction or deletion and the other rights the law provides, by writing to info@nebello.com. You can also contact the competent authority, such as the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or the authority in your country. We cannot see or delete remotely the documents that stay on your iPhone.
