Camcora — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Camcora (the “App”) handles your information. Camcora is an on-device iOS camcorder app that records photos and videos with retro video effects, operated by Tobias Zehndbauer (see the Impressum for full provider details). By using the App you agree to the practices described here.

Summary

Recordings, photos, and audio

All video recording, audio recording, and effect processing is performed locally on your device. Clips and photos you create or import in Camcora are not transmitted to us or to any third party by the App itself, and are not stored on any server we control. Recordings are kept in the App's local "Tape Library" on your device until you delete them or delete the App.

Recordings are only saved to your device photo library or shared when you choose to do so. Camcora does not maintain a cloud gallery. Please note that the retro effects (including the on-screen date/time display and, in the free version, a watermark) are permanently rendered into your recordings.

Sharing to TikTok and Instagram

Camcora offers optional sharing shortcuts. These only run when you actively tap the corresponding share option:

Camcora does not receive any data back from these platforms about your account or your posts.

Information we do not collect

Camcora does not require you to create an account and does not itself collect personal information such as your name, email address, or contacts. Camcora contains no analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising SDKs. The third-party components integrated are RevenueCat (purchases, described below) and the TikTok OpenSDK (sharing, described above).

Purchases and subscriptions

Camcora offers paid options: a one-time lifetime purchase and a monthly subscription. Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store and managed with the help of RevenueCat, a purchase-management service.

To manage your entitlements (i.e. to know which purchase you own), RevenueCat receives a randomly generated, anonymous app user ID together with purchase and receipt data from the App Store. No recordings, photos, or audio are ever sent to RevenueCat. RevenueCat does not receive information that directly identifies you by name.

Apple processes the payment and the transaction data associated with your Apple ID under Apple's standard App Store practices.

These third parties process data under their own privacy policies:

Permissions the App may request

You can grant or revoke each permission at any time in the iOS Settings app.

This website

This website is a static site without cookies, analytics, or tracking. It is served via a hosting/CDN provider (Cloudflare), which may process technical connection data (such as IP addresses) in server logs for security and delivery purposes.

Data retention

Because we do not collect personal data on our own servers, we do not retain personal data about you. Recordings remain on your device under your control. Purchase and entitlement data held by Apple and RevenueCat is retained according to their respective policies.

Children's privacy

Camcora is intended for a general audience. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/EEA General Data Protection Regulation), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Because Camcora does not itself hold personal data about you, such requests will in most cases concern data held by Apple, RevenueCat, TikTok, or Meta and should be directed to them. You may also contact us at the address below and we will assist where we can.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
