1. Introduction

GestureCam (“the App”) is a hands-free camera application that lets you capture photos, Live Photos, and videos using hand gestures, voice commands, and optional location tagging. This Privacy Policy describes what information the App accesses, what limited information leaves your device, how permissions are used, and the choices you have. By using the App, you agree to this policy. If you disagree with any part of it, please discontinue use.

2. Data Controller and Contact

The App is developed and operated by the app owner (“we,” “us,” or “our”), who is responsible for the data described in this policy. For any privacy question or request, contact us at [email protected].

3. Data Collection Overview

GestureCam is designed to keep your content on your device. The App:

• Does not create user accounts.
• Does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or the advertising identifier (IDFA).
• Never uploads your photos, videos, audio, voice commands, or location to our servers.
• Performs camera processing and gesture recognition on the device.
• Sends limited usage analytics and crash reports through Google Firebase to help us improve the App. You can turn this off at any time in Settings (see Section 5).

4. Permissions and On-Device Usage

The App requests access to certain device capabilities to provide its features. Only camera access is needed to use the App; all other permissions are optional and can be managed at any time in the iOS Settings app.

4.1 Camera Access

Purpose: Capturing photos, Live Photos, and videos; enabling real-time hand pose detection. Data Handling: Camera input is processed live on the device to display the viewfinder, capture media, and recognize gestures. No camera frames or images are transferred off your device unless you explicitly share or export media. User Control: iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera. Without access, the App cannot capture media.

4.2 Microphone Access

Purpose: Recording audio for videos and Live Photos, and listening for voice commands when Voice Control is enabled. Data Handling: Audio for videos and Live Photos is stored only with the media you save. Audio is not logged by the App or sent to our servers. User Control: iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. If disabled, videos are silent and Voice Control is unavailable.

4.3 Photo Library Access

Purpose: Saving captured media and showing media the App created. Data Handling: The App requests add-only or limited access to save the photos and videos you capture. It does not scan your entire library. User Control: iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos. If access is removed, media can still be kept in the App’s own storage but may not be saved to Photos.
