Privacy Policy
Effective November 2026
The short version: ComfyViews has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We don’t run servers that collect your information, and your photos are never sent to us.
This policy explains what the ComfyViews app for Apple TV (“ComfyViews”, “we”) does with information. ComfyViews is made by Ben Graves.
Your photos
With your permission, ComfyViews reads the albums you choose from Apple Photos so it can show them. To pick good photos and frame them well, it looks at them on your Apple TV using Apple’s built-in tools (for example, to find faces so they aren’t cropped, and to skip blurry shots, screenshots and receipts). Those results are stored only on your Apple TV. Your photos and anything learned from them are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
Smart features and AI
ComfyViews uses Apple’s built-in, on-device machine learning (Apple’s Vision framework) for a few photo jobs:
- Finding faces, the main subject and the horizon, so photos are framed well, kept level and not cropped through someone’s head.
- Skipping blurry or badly lit shots, screenshots, receipts and documents.
- Cutting people out of a photo for the Sticker look.
- If you use Put me in the cast: reading rough colors and shapes (skin tone, hair, face shape) from the one photo you pick to suggest a cartoon character. The photo isn’t saved.
All of this happens on your Apple TV. Your photos and the results are never sent to us or to any AI service, and nothing is used to train AI models. ComfyViews doesn’t use generative AI: it never creates, edits or adds anything to your photos, and it has no chatbot. The views, scenes and characters are illustrations drawn by the app itself, not AI-generated images.
Settings sync
If Sync is on, your ComfyViews settings (looks, widgets, chosen album names and similar) are saved to your own iCloud account using Apple’s iCloud key-value storage, so your other Apple TVs can use them. This is stored by Apple under your Apple Account; we can’t see it. Passcodes, purchases and photo data are not synced. You can turn Sync off in Settings › Apple TV & Help.
Weather and location
To show the weather, ComfyViews uses the place you set (a city, a postal code or your Apple TV’s approximate location) and asks Apple Weather and Apple Maps for the forecast and place details. That request goes to Apple, not to us, and is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
Apple Music
If you connect Apple Music, ComfyViews uses Apple’s MusicKit to play your playlists and to search Apple Music for songs in our ComfyViews playlists. It adds a playlist to your library only when you ask it to. Your listening is handled by Apple.
Home accessories
If you add Home widgets, ComfyViews reads the status of your lights, thermostats and cameras through Apple’s Home framework, on your Apple TV. That information isn’t sent to us.
Other public information
Some widgets download public information directly to your Apple TV:
- Today in History comes from the Wikimedia (Wikipedia) public feed.
- Tides come from NOAA Tides & Currents, using a tide station near the place you set.
- Calendars you add by web link are downloaded from the address you entered.
- Album art for the song that’s playing is loaded from Apple Music.
These services receive the request (and, like any website, your network address), but no account or personal details from us.
Purchases and subscriptions
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We don’t receive your payment details. The app checks with Apple whether you’re subscribed so it can unlock Business mode.
Business mode
Messages, names, schedules and other text you enter for a business display are stored on that Apple TV (and in your iCloud, if Sync is on). They are not sent to us. The screen passcode is stored only as a scrambled code on that Apple TV.
Children
ComfyViews doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Your choices
You can change or remove ComfyViews’ access to Photos, Apple Music, Home and location at any time in your Apple TV’s Settings › Privacy & Security. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on that Apple TV; anything synced remains in your iCloud until you turn Sync off or reset iCloud data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
