🛡️ Summary of Our Core Privacy Principles
- 100% On-Device Rendering: All 3D LUT color grading, picture-in-picture dual-camera capture, and video encoding run entirely on your device via Apple Metal 3 and AVFoundation.
- Zero Cloud Video Uploads: We do not operate remote video processing servers. Your recorded footage, takes, and photos never touch our servers.
- No Data Brokering or Ad Tracking: We never sell your personal data, track you across other companies' apps or websites, or serve third-party targeted advertisements.
- Complete User Ownership: You maintain 100% intellectual property ownership of all videos, audio recordings, and scripts created within VlogCam.
1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to VlogCam: AI Creator Camera (hereafter referred to as “VlogCam”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible via our iOS mobile application and our official website at https://vlogcam.kavvos.com.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information and demonstrates our strict commitment to creator privacy. By installing, accessing, or using VlogCam, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our application or services.
2. Information We Access & How We Process It
To deliver professional cinema-grade camera tools, smart teleprompting, and multi-camera recording, VlogCam requests specific iOS system permissions. Here is an explicit breakdown of what each permission is used for:
| Permission / Data Type | Purpose in App | Storage Location & Transmission |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Access (AVCaptureDevice) | Real-time live preview, 4K recording, 3D LUT preview, and front/back dual-camera (PiP) compositing. | 100% Local: Frames are processed in device RAM and GPU shaders. Never sent to any external server. |
| Microphone Access (Audio Recording) | High-fidelity stereo audio capture synchronized with video recording. | 100% Local: Encoded directly into local MP4/MOV files inside your iOS app sandbox. |
| Photo Library (PHPhotoLibrary) | Exporting recorded takes and photos to your device Photos app; browsing media in Creator Library. | Local Storage: Media files are written directly to your personal Apple Photos library upon your explicit export request. |
| Speech Recognition (SFSpeechRecognizer) | AI Teleprompter real-time speech matching and dynamic scrolling alignment. | On-Device / Apple Framework: Evaluated in real time via Apple Speech framework. Audio data is discarded immediately after synchronization; never stored or logged. |
| In-App Purchase & Subscription Status | Validating Pro entitlement (100% watermark-free export and hardware-accelerated saving). | Apple StoreKit & RevenueCat: An anonymous subscriber token is used to validate active entitlement receipts. We do not see or store your credit card or billing details. |
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
In accordance with Apple App Store Review Guidelines Section 5.1.1 and global data privacy standards (GDPR, CCPA), we explicitly declare that VlogCam does NOT collect or retain:
- Your face geometry, biometric scans, or facial recognition identifiers. Face tracking in PiP mode is purely positional and executed locally in real-time.
- Your teleprompter scripts, personal notes, or proprietary video concepts.
- Your precise geolocation coordinates (GPS).
- Your phone contacts, browsing history, or calendar events.
- Any behavioral advertising identifiers (IDFA) for cross-app tracking.
4. Diagnostic Metrics & Crash Prevention
To ensure stability across high-resolution 4K 60fps captures and intensive Metal 3 rendering, VlogCam may gather non-identifying technical logs, including:
- Device model, iOS operating system version, and system language.
- Memory consumption peaks, frame drop telemetry, and crash call-stacks.
These diagnostic metrics contain zero personal data or video imagery and are used solely to fix bugs and enhance application performance.
5. In-App Subscriptions & Financial Data
All financial transactions, trials, and subscription charges are securely handled through Apple App Store In-App Purchases (StoreKit).
- VlogCam does not process, receive, or store your credit card number, bank information, or billing address.
- Subscription management, renewals, and cancellations are governed entirely through your Apple ID account settings.
- We partner with RevenueCat to reliably verify purchase receipts and synchronize entitlement status across your Apple devices using anonymous user identifiers.
6. Data Security & Sandbox Storage
Your recorded media files are safely encapsulated within the iOS Application Sandbox protected by Apple's native hardware encryption (Data Protection API). Files remain private to VlogCam and cannot be accessed by other applications unless you explicitly export them to Photos or share them via the iOS System Share Sheet.
7. Children's Privacy
VlogCam is a general-audience creative utility and is not directed towards children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children.
8. Your Rights & Data Deletion
Under applicable laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have full rights over your data:
- Right of Deletion: You can delete any video, photo, or project directly from the VlogCam media library at any time. Uninstalling the app permanently purges all local sandbox assets.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can modify or revoke Camera, Microphone, Photos, or Speech permissions at any time via iOS Settings > VlogCam.
9. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new software capabilities, legal requirements, or App Store guideline amendments. Any revisions will be published immediately on this page with an updated “Effective Date”.
