RecipesCam is a camera app: it applies film-style recipes to photos you take or pick, and saves the result to your device. It is built and published by an individual developer ("we"). This policy explains what the app accesses and what happens to that data.
| Access | Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | CAMERA |
To take photos and show the live preview. Photos stay on your device. |
| Photos and videos in your library | READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED,
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and older) |
To let you pick an existing photo to edit, and to show your library inside the app's picker. |
| Save processed photos | WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 9 and older) and the system media-library APIs |
To write the processed photo and its metadata back to your gallery. |
| Photo location metadata (EXIF GPS) | ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION |
To let a photo you imported keep its location when you export it again. Read on device only. |
| Your location | ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION |
Used only when you switch on the optional location watermark, to stamp the place name onto the photo. Location is never collected in the background, never stored beyond the photo you asked to geotag, and never sent to us. |
| Vibration | VIBRATE | Haptic feedback on shutter and controls. |
| Network | INTERNET |
Present for the app's runtime, which is built on React Native. The app itself makes no network requests and contacts no server we operate. |
The app does not request access to your microphone, contacts, calendar, health data, SMS, call logs, files outside your photo library, or your physical activity, and it does not use the "display over other apps" permission.
Your recipes, presets, favourites and app settings are stored locally in the app's private storage on your device. Removing the app removes them. Photos you take or export live in your own gallery, under your control; the app keeps no copy of its own.
When you tap Share, the app hands the chosen photo to the app you pick through Android's standard share sheet. What that app then does with the photo is governed by its own privacy policy. We receive nothing.
The app is built with open-source libraries (React Native, Expo, Skia, VisionCamera, and others). They
run locally inside the app and do not collect data on our behalf. Their licences and copyright notices are
listed in the app under Settings → About → Open-source licences and in the
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md file shipped with the source.
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Because no personal data leaves your device, there is nothing for us to delete or export on your behalf. You can revoke any permission at any time in Android's Settings → Apps → RecipesCam → Permissions; the app will keep working minus the feature that needs it. Uninstalling the app deletes all data it stored locally.
If this policy changes, the effective date above is updated and the new text is published at the same URL before it takes effect.
