Who we are
Walkline is made by DYKOS Media Inc, 1957 E 29th St, Brooklyn, NY, USA. Questions about privacy: [email protected].
What stays on your iPhone
Everything you create: buildings, floors, rooms, measurements, floor plans, 3D models, photos, 360° views, voice notes and camera plans. They are stored only on your device and in your device backups. Deleting the app deletes them, so export anything you want to keep.
Optional features that use our server
These features are off until you use them. Each one shows a warning before the first upload, and again for each new building, and waits for you to tap Upload. If you choose Not now, nothing leaves your phone and the rest of the app works the same.
| Feature | What is sent | Why | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D model of the outside | Outdoor photos of the building, with the positions they were taken from | Analysed by our own software on our own computer to build the 3D model | Deleted once the model is back on your iPhone, and within 7 days at most |
| Higher-quality photo fill (removing furniture from photos) | The photos you are editing and the area to fill | Analysed to fill in the space where furniture was | Deleted as soon as the result is returned, and within 7 days at most |
| AutoCAD (DWG) and SketchUp (SKP) export | The shape of your plan only: walls, doors and windows. No photos | Converted to those file formats | Deleted right after conversion |
| Tour links | The plan, photos and 360° views you choose to publish | Shown to anyone you give the link to | Until you turn the link off or delete it |
| Diagnostics | App events and error reports. Never scans, photos, names or addresses | To find and fix problems | 90 days |
Faces, licence plates, screens and paperwork are blurred on your iPhone before any photo is uploaded. Uploads are encrypted in transit and processed only on servers we run ourselves. Uploads aren't linked to you: there is no account, only a random job number.
What we never do
- No advertising, no tracking, no selling or sharing your data.
- No training of AI models on your photos or scans.
- No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the app.
Features that run on your iPhone
Room naming, furniture detection, photo blurring, photo enhancement, transcribing voice notes and suggested listing text run on your device using Apple's built-in frameworks. Nothing is sent to us or to Apple for these.
Permissions
Camera (needed): to scan with the camera and LiDAR scanner. Location (optional, outside scans only): to place the building on the map. Microphone (optional): only when you record a voice note. You can change any of these in the iPhone's Settings.
Your choices
Every optional feature has a switch in the app's Settings ▸ Privacy, where you can also delete anything you have uploaded with Delete my uploaded data now. You can also write to [email protected] and we will delete it for you.
Children
Walkline isn't directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and say what changed in the app's "What's new".
