Who We Are
ALMA INFANTIA ("Alma," "the Museum," "we") is a product of nomos industries inc., a Delaware corporation founded by Kassandra Nolan and operated from San Francisco, California. This policy covers:
- The ALMA INFANTIA mobile app (iOS App Store — coming soon)
- The marketing website almainfantia.com, including the locked museum preview
What Lives on Your Device
By default, the following is stored locally on your phone or tablet and nowhere else:
- Artwork photographs and uploads (the full-resolution masters)
- Child and artist profiles
- Placards and artist biographies
- Collections, exhibitions, and museum layout preferences
- App settings
Deleting a work or an artist in the app removes those records from the app. Uninstalling the app removes Alma's on-device data, as with any iOS app. One note that belongs to you: if your device backs itself up to iCloud or a computer, copies of Alma's data may exist in your own backups, under your control and your Apple account — not ours.
When Something Leaves Your Device — Always Your Choice
| Situation | What leaves | What stays | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI curation (Contributor & Benefactor, optional) |
Small thumbnails (~256px) sent over a secured connection to OpenAI and Anthropic (United States) for grouping and title suggestions | Your full-resolution masters remain on your device | The Museum works completely without AI |
| Museum Quality Enhancements (optional, user-initiated) |
The single image you select is sent to Replicate (United States); the enhanced file is returned to your device | Everything else | Facial enhancement is off |
| Your own backups & exports | Copies you choose to send to Google Drive, Files, Photos, or similar | — | These live in accounts you control. There is no Alma public cloud gallery. |
| App stability & usage measurement | Crash reports and feature-usage events | Your artwork, artist names, placards, and museum content are never included | Sentry and PostHog |
| Visiting our website | Standard hosting logs: IP address, browser type, request metadata | — | Held by our website host, Netlify |
| Mailing list | Your email address, if you submit the notify form | — | Collected through Netlify, delivered to our inbox, operated by Google |
| Purchases | Handled entirely by Apple | Alma never receives your full card number | Apple's terms and privacy policy apply |
| Museum preview | Nothing of yours | Everything | The public preview shows only a founder-published demonstration collection. Other families' private museums are never on the public website. |
Optional AI, in Plain Terms
Some memberships include AI assistance: grouping works into proposed exhibitions, suggesting titles, and drafting placards. When you use these features:
- Alma sends small thumbnails, not your originals, to our AI providers (OpenAI and Anthropic).
- The thumbnails are used to organize and describe your collection — nothing else.
- Under both providers' API terms, our data is not used to train their models; inputs may be retained briefly (up to about 30 days) for trust-and-safety review, then deleted.
- Every AI proposal is exactly that — a proposal. Nothing is saved to your museum until you approve it.
If you never turn on AI features, no artwork imagery leaves your device at all.
How We Measure the App
We use two tools to keep Alma stable and to understand which features families use:
- Sentry (crash reporting): if the app crashes, a report is sent with technical details — device model, OS version, app version, and the error trace — so we can fix it.
- PostHog (product analytics): anonymous-style usage events, such as "an exhibition was created" or "a print was exported."
Both are configured so that your artwork, photographs, artist names, placards, and museum content are never included. These tools measure the app, not your family. We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Cloud & Desktop — What Is True Today vs. Planned
Today, there is no Alma cloud: your museum is on-device, plus any backups you make yourself. We do plan an optional online experience — signing in from a desktop browser to view your museum, import and export works, and make updates on a bigger screen. If and when that launches, it will be optional, described plainly, and this policy will be updated before the feature ships, with notice to members. We will not quietly move your museum off your device.
Purchases & Billing
Memberships (Gallery Pass, Supporter, Contributor, Benefactor) are sold through the Apple App Store. Apple processes payment; we receive confirmation of your membership tier, never your full payment details. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID Subscriptions settings. The Gallery Pass trial starts without a credit card, as marketed.
Children's Privacy
We will be direct, because this matters most:
- Alma is built for parents and guardians documenting their own children's creativity. The app is not directed to children, and children are not asked to create accounts or provide information.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Nothing in the Museum is used for advertising or profiling — of children or anyone else.
- Artist names or pseudonyms appear only as the family chooses to write them, and stay on the family's device like everything else.
- There is no public social feed of children's art, and no other family can see your museum.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us directly, write to hello@almainfantia.com and we will delete it.
Built to protect, not to collect.
Artwork stays on your device. No social feed of children's work. Optional tools send only tiny thumbnails, never the master.
How Long We Keep Things
- On your device: as long as you keep them. You hold the keys.
- AI curation thumbnails: processed transiently; providers may retain inputs up to about 30 days for trust-and-safety review, then delete them. Not used for model training.
- Enhancement images: held by the provider only as long as needed to process and return your file.
- Crash reports and usage events: kept only as long as useful for fixing and improving the app.
- Website logs: up to 90 days.
- Mailing-list email: until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it.
- Support email: kept so we can help you over time; deleted on request.
Your Rights & Choices
These apply to every member, everywhere — regardless of where you live or what any statute requires:
- Skip AI entirely. The full museum — uploads, collections, exhibitions, placards you write yourself, printing and exports — works without any AI feature.
- Delete in-app. Removing works and artists removes those records.
- Uninstall. Removes Alma's on-device data (your own device backups remain yours to manage).
- Unsubscribe from the mailing list with one click, or by writing to us.
- Ask, and we answer. Email hello@almainfantia.com to know what we hold about you (for most families: at most an email address and support correspondence), to correct it, delete it, or receive a copy.
For California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA, and we honor the rights above for everyone, without needing to be asked twice.
For members in the European Union and United Kingdom: the optional features that send data off-device operate on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by turning the feature off. You may access, correct, delete, and export your information by writing to us, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our service providers are U.S. companies; international transfers rely on the standard contractual protections in each provider's data-processing terms.
We will never treat exercising your rights as a reason to degrade your service.
International Members & Languages
ALMA INFANTIA is offered in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, German, and Dutch. This policy applies in every language. Translations are provided for clarity and welcome; if a translated version ever differs from the English version, the English version governs.
Alma is operated from the United States. Because your museum lives on your device by default, most of your family's information never crosses a border at all — it stays in your home, in your language. As our international membership grows, we will appoint a local representative in Europe if and when one is required.
Changes to This Policy
When this policy changes, we will post the updated version here with a new effective date. For material changes — anything that alters what leaves your device or who we share with — we will notify members in the app and by email before the change takes effect.
Questions? One inbox, read by a human.
