Privacy.
ZBAM collects nothing. Your photos stay on your phone.

What ZBAM collects
Nothing. There is no account to make, no server to talk to, no analytics, no tracking and no ads. ZBAM makes no network requests of its own. Its privacy manifest, the file Apple checks, declares no collected data and no tracking.
To work, ZBAM keeps a small file on the phone: your places, which photo went where so Undo can take it back, and the week's counts. Deleting the app deletes it.
Your photos
ZBAM asks for access to your photo library and uses it on the phone, through Apple's Photos framework. Sorting a screenshot puts it in an album in your own Photos app. ZBAM never copies, uploads or sends your photos anywhere.
If you use iCloud Photos, Photos may fetch the photo on screen from iCloud, and keeps ZBAM's albums in step with iCloud, as it does for every album. That is Apple's sync, not ZBAM's.
Deleting
Nothing is deleted on the spot. Photos you send down wait on their own screen until you confirm. Then they go to Recently Deleted in Photos, where iOS keeps them for 30 days.
Reminders and the widget
Reminders are notifications scheduled on your phone. To know how many screenshots are new, ZBAM counts them on your phone, sometimes in the background, and the widget reads that count from a small file kept on the phone. Nothing is sent.
The free week and paying
The free week is ZBAM's own. There is nothing to sign up for and no card. ZBAM keeps the day your week began in the phone's Keychain, so deleting and reinstalling the app does not start a second week. That date never leaves the phone. Once you have bought ZBAM, it also keeps there that it is bought, so a reinstall without a connection still opens; that never leaves the phone either.
Every purchase goes through the App Store. Apple handles the payment. ZBAM never sees your card or your Apple account; Apple tells it only what you have bought.
