Privacy Policy
Last updated September 1, 2026
Reelign ("the app") is operated by Shields Digital LLC ("we", "us"). This policy describes what we collect, why, and what we never do with it.
What we collect
Account. You sign in with Apple. We receive an anonymous Apple user identifier and, only if you choose to share it, your name. We use this solely to keep your library attached to your account.
Your saved reels. When you share a reel to Reelign, we store the link you shared and public metadata about it (title, creator handle, thumbnail) so your library works across reinstalls. We do not store your Instagram or TikTok password. Connections happen through those platforms' own login pages, and session credentials stay on your device.
Playback caches. Videos you save are cached on your device only, so they play instantly and work offline. Caches never leave your phone and are deleted when you sign out or delete your account.
Diagnostics. Basic, non-identifying failure logs (for example, "a reel failed to load") used to keep playback reliable. No advertising identifiers, no third-party analytics SDKs, no tracking across apps.
Title suggestions
When you ask Reelign to suggest a title, it reads the reel's audio and any text on screen using your iPhone's built-in speech recognition, text recognition, and on-device intelligence. All of this happens on your phone. That audio and text are never uploaded, never sent to us, and never sent to any other company. Nothing is stored beyond the title you choose to keep.
What we never do
- We never sell or share your data with third parties.
- We never post, message, or act on your Instagram or TikTok account.
- We never make your library visible to anyone but you.
Subscriptions
Reelign Premium purchases are processed by Apple. We receive subscription status (active or not) from Apple to unlock features. We never see your payment details.
Data retention and deletion
Delete your account any time in the app (Profile, then Delete Account). This permanently removes your account, saved reel records, and playlists from our servers, and clears local caches. Sign out clears the device session and local caches without deleting server data.
Third-party content
Reels remain the property of their creators and the platforms they were posted on. Reelign displays source attribution and links back to the original post.
Children
Reelign is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
