Mole Patrol Privacy Policy
Effective November 6, 2026
Mole Patrol is published by Lockshin Training, LLC ("we," "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the Mole Patrol app on iPhone.
The short version: your photos and notes stay on your iPhone. We do not have a server, we do not have accounts, and we never see your photos. We do not use ads, analytics, or tracking.
Information that stays on your iPhone
Everything you enter in Mole Patrol is stored only on your device, inside the app's private storage. This includes:
- Photos of your moles
- Mole names, body locations, sizes, notes, and self check answers
- Reminder settings
- The dermatologist office name and phone number you choose to save
We cannot access this information. Photos taken in the app are not saved to your Photos library.
If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, this app data may be included in that backup under your Apple account settings. Apple's privacy policy covers those backups.
Location
If you allow it, Mole Patrol uses your approximate location to show the UV index where you are. Your approximate location is sent to Apple's weather service (Apple WeatherKit) to get the forecast. Mole Patrol does not store your location and does not send it to us. You can turn location access off at any time in your iPhone's Settings. The rest of the app works without it.
Camera and photos
Mole Patrol uses the camera only when you choose to take a photo. If you choose a photo from your library, only that photo is copied into the app.
Notifications
Recheck reminders and sunscreen reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. They are not sent from a server.
Sharing
If you use the "Share Report" feature, the app creates a PDF on your iPhone and opens the standard share sheet. You choose where it goes, for example to your doctor by email. Once you share it, the privacy practices of the app or person you send it to apply.
Health information
Mole Patrol is not connected to any medical practice's records, and we do not receive any health information from the app. The app is a tracking and education tool and does not provide medical advice or diagnosis.
Children
Mole Patrol is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Deleting your information
You can delete a single mole or check-in in the app, or delete everything in Settings with "Delete All Moles and Photos." Deleting the app also removes all of its data from your iPhone.
This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics, or advertising. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security and to keep the site running.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and post the new version at this address.
