Film Camera is developed by Can Bi. This privacy policy explains how the app handles your information.

The Short Version

Film Camera does not collect, transmit, or store any of your data on external servers. Everything stays on your device. We have no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no ads.

Data Collection

Film Camera does not collect any personal data. Specifically:

• No account creation or login
• No analytics or usage tracking
• No advertising or ad identifiers
• No third-party SDKs or services that collect data
• No cookies or similar technologies

The only network activity is Apple’s StoreKit for optional in-app purchases (Pro subscriptions, Lifetime unlock, and tips). Purchase processing is handled by Apple; we do not receive your payment card details.

Data Storage

All data you create in Film Camera — including photos (original and processed), film roll recipes, albums, location metadata, and preferences — is stored exclusively on your device using a local database. This data is never uploaded, synced, or transmitted anywhere.

If you delete the app, all your data is permanently removed with it. You can also delete all data from the Settings screen at any time.

Device Permissions

Film Camera may request the following device permissions:

• Camera: Used to capture photos with analog film effects. Camera data is processed on-device and never transmitted.
• Photo Library (Save Only): Used to save your processed photos to your device's photo library. The app requests write-only access and does not read or browse your existing photos.
• Location (When In Use): Optional, and off unless you turn on Location Tagging in Settings. When it is on, the coordinates where a photo was taken are recorded on your device and written into the photo file itself as standard EXIF GPS data. We never transmit your location, and the app has no server to send it to. But because the coordinates are stored inside the photo, any photo written to your photo library carries them — including automatically, if Auto-save to Photos is on, in which case iCloud Photos will sync them like any other photo detail. The same applies to a photo you export or share, and to a backup file you share, which contains both the photo files and their coordinates. Turn Location Tagging off before shooting if you do not want that. Photos taken while it is off contain no location, and the setting is not carried over when you restore a backup onto another device.
