Camera privacy policy
Last updated · Published by Aki
Your camera and recordings
Camera processes photos, videos and Looks on your device. Camera access is used for the viewfinder and capture. Microphone access is requested for videos with sound; you can record without it. Camera does not send your photos, videos or recorded audio to Aki or to advertisers.
App's Gallery
Captures and their editing settings are stored in the app's private storage. Delete removes selected private captures. Transfer copies the finished photo or video to your phone's gallery, verifies the copy, then removes the corresponding private capture. A failed or interrupted transfer keeps recoverable media; retry checks existing transfer receipts to avoid duplicate copies.
Retention and removal
Private captures remain until you delete or successfully transfer them. Temporary capture sources are removed after the finished file is saved; interrupted work may be retained for recovery. If storage cleanup is interrupted or fails, cleanup may be retried later. Small deletion and transfer records remain locally until app storage is cleared. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes the private library, settings and local records. Already transferred files remain in the phone's gallery until you delete them there. The app disables Android cloud backup of its private data.
Permissions and imported Looks
The app does not request your location, contacts, or broad photo-library access. On Android 8 and 9, storage permission is needed only to transfer files to the phone's gallery. On newer Android versions it uses MediaStore to add its own files. Importing a Look uses Android's document picker for the file you choose. You can manage permissions in Android settings.
Local settings and diagnostics
Selected Looks, crops, camera controls, favorites, transfer receipts and performance diagnostics stay on your device. There is no Camera account or app-operated cloud library. Diagnostics are not automatically sent to Aki. Copy diagnostics places device and camera details on your clipboard; share them only if you choose to.
Advertising in the public edition
The public edition includes Google AdMob and Google's consent platform. It refreshes advertising consent information after launch and may preload eligible ads when you open App's Gallery. Available ads can appear after an entire transfer batch succeeds, with spacing between ads. There is no ad-free switch in the public edition. Ads do not block capture, browsing, deletion, or completion of a transfer. Unavailable or failed ads are skipped. Advertising does not receive your capture files.
Google's advertising data
Google's Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), app and ad interactions, diagnostics, and device or account identifiers, including advertising and app-set IDs, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Google describes SDK network transmission as encrypted using TLS. Collection depends on consent, device settings and the SDK's behavior; non-personalized or limited ads do not mean that all data collection stops.
Your advertising choices
Where applicable, Google's consent form lets you manage ad choices. An Ad privacy action is available in Camera's Privacy & storage screen when Google requires it. You can also manage or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. Google controls the retention and handling of data received by its services under Google's privacy policy. The app does not operate a separate advertising-data deletion service.
