Privacy Policy ​

Effective July 21, 2026

This policy describes how the open-source Mold project handles information in the Mold Remote app for iPhone and iPad. Mold Remote is a client for Mold servers that you choose and control. The Mold project does not operate a central account service, hosted generation service, advertising network, or analytics service for the app.

Information the app stores on your device ​

Mold Remote stores the information needed to provide its features locally on your device, including:

  • saved Mold server names, addresses, and connection preferences;
  • server API keys in the iOS Keychain;
  • appearance preferences, prompt templates, and other app settings; and
  • temporary media and response data needed to display your server's library.

The app uses Apple's Local Network permission to discover Mold servers that advertise themselves on your current network. Mold does not use this permission to track your location.

Information sent to your Mold servers ​

When you use the app, it communicates directly with the Mold servers you add. At your direction, those servers may receive prompts, generation settings, source images, masks, model-download requests, and other content needed to perform the requested operation. The app also requests server status, model, queue, download, and gallery information.

Generated media, prompt history, generation metadata, downloaded models, and server logs are stored according to the configuration and practices of the server operator. If you connect to a server operated by someone else, contact that operator for its privacy and retention practices. The Mold project does not receive this server traffic merely because you use the app.

Third-party services ​

Mold has no advertising or tracking SDKs. A Mold server may contact model catalogs such as Hugging Face and Civitai when you browse or download models. Those requests originate from the server and are governed by the service's policy and the server operator's configuration.

Apple may process TestFlight invitations, diagnostics, crash information, or feedback under Apple's privacy policy when you install a beta through TestFlight or submit feedback to Apple.

Sharing and sale ​

The Mold project does not sell personal information. The app does not share information with the Mold project, advertisers, or data brokers. Information is sent only to the servers and services described above when needed for an action you request.

Retention, deletion, and your choices ​

  • Forgetting a server in the app removes its saved connection and API key from the device.
  • Deleting the app removes its local app data according to iOS behavior.
  • Gallery media, prompt history, logs, and models stored on a Mold server must be deleted from that server or by its operator. Available gallery deletion controls act directly on the selected server.
  • You can deny Local Network access in iOS Settings and add a server address manually instead.

Because the Mold project does not maintain user accounts or receive app data, it ordinarily has no centrally stored personal information to retrieve or delete.

Children ​

Mold Remote is not directed to children under 13, and the Mold project does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app.

Changes to this policy ​

We may update this policy when the app's data practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.

Contact ​

Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected]. For information stored by a Mold server you do not operate, contact that server's operator.
