Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FrameReady Camera, whose iPhone icon is shown as FrameReady, handles information in connection with the iOS app, support communication and these GitHub Pages legal pages.

Short version: FrameReady Camera is designed as a local-first creator camera app. Camera preview, face position checks, recordings, thumbnails, cover frames, scripts, project data and settings are intended to stay on your device unless you choose to export, share, save to Photos or contact support.

Scope

This policy covers the FrameReady Camera iOS app, support emails and the legal pages hosted for the app. Apple processes App Store downloads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, refunds and related account data under Apple’s own terms and privacy framework. App use is covered by the Apple Standard EULA, referenced on our Terms of Use page.

Face Data and Frame Assist

App Review note: This section describes the app’s face-related processing, use, storage, sharing and retention.

FrameReady Camera uses on-device face detection only to estimate the geometric position of a face in the live camera preview. This helps the app show framing hints, for example whether a face is inside the selected safe area or overlaps with captions, controls, the teleprompter or other layout guides.

FrameReady Camera does not identify a person, does not create a face template or faceprint, does not compare faces, and does not infer age, emotion, health, beauty, ethnicity, identity, personality or other personal attributes.

Face detection results are processed locally on the device and temporarily in memory. They are not uploaded to our servers, not sold, not shared with third parties, and not used for advertising or tracking.

If the user records a video, the video file is stored locally on the device or saved/exported by the user to Photos, Files or the iOS share sheet. Local recordings remain on the device until the user deletes them, deletes the related project, removes the app or exports them using iOS system features.

What the app processes

Category	Examples	Where it is processed
Camera preview	Live camera image used for framing areas, face placement guidance and platform-safe zones.	On your device. The provider does not receive the preview.
Temporary face position data	Geometric face position used to show Frame Assist hints, such as whether a face is inside the safe area or too close to captions, controls or the teleprompter.	On your device, temporarily in memory. Not uploaded, not shared and not retained as a face template.
Microphone audio	Audio captured when you record video with sound.	On your device, inside the local recording unless you export or share it.
Video clips and takes	Original recordings, take metadata, duration, timestamps, selected best take and local project links.	On your device. Export or share actions are user controlled.
Thumbnails and cover frames	Preview images, selected cover frames and related timestamps.	On your device, and in Photos only if you choose to save/export.
Projects, scripts and settings	Project names, creator modes, script text, prompter preferences, quality settings and visible-area settings.	On your device.
Purchase entitlement	Whether Premium features are active, subscription and restore state provided by Apple StoreKit.	Apple handles payment and subscription infrastructure. The app reads entitlement status to unlock features.
Support communication	Your email address, message content and device/app details you voluntarily provide.	Email inbox used to answer your request.
Website access data	Technically necessary access data may be processed by GitHub Pages as host of these pages.	GitHub infrastructure.

Legal bases under GDPR

Contract performance or pre-contract steps for app functionality, Premium access and support, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Legal obligations where records must be kept, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Legitimate interests for website security, support handling, abuse prevention and reliable operation, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Consent where a feature or system permission explicitly asks for it, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

iOS permissions

The app may request access to camera, microphone and Photos depending on the feature you use. You can change permissions in iOS Settings. If you deny a permission, the related feature may not work.

Storage, retention and deletion

Temporary face detection results used by Frame Assist are processed in memory during the live camera session and are not retained as face templates or uploaded to the provider. Local app data remains on your device unless you delete it, delete the app, use an in-app delete/reset option where available, or share/export it yourself. Videos and images saved to Apple Photos must be managed in the Photos app. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to answer and document the request, subject to legal retention duties.

Children

The app is intended as a creator productivity tool. It is not specifically directed at children. The app does not create user accounts or knowingly collect children’s personal data for provider-operated services. Parents or guardians should supervise recording and publishing decisions for minors.

Your GDPR rights

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection where applicable. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing. Contact: F.Kintzel@gmail.com.

You may complain to a competent data protection supervisory authority. For Schleswig-Holstein, this is the Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein, Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Germany.

Processors and third parties

Apple: App Store downloads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, refunds, entitlement infrastructure and Photos/iOS system services.
Email provider: Support communication if you contact us.
GitHub Pages: Hosting of these legal pages.

These providers may process data under their own terms and may use infrastructure outside your country. Where legally required, appropriate safeguards should apply.

App Store privacy information

The App Store privacy label and this policy must match the actual app build. If future versions add analytics, cloud sync, crash reporting, accounts, advertising, external AI services or other processing, this policy and App Store privacy information must be updated before release.

Deutsch, Datenschutzhinweis kurz gefasst

FrameReady Camera ist lokal gedacht und wird im App Store als FrameReady Camera geführt. Auf dem iPhone wird das App Symbol als FrameReady angezeigt. Kamera-Vorschau, Face Assist, Videoaufnahmen, Projektinformationen, Skripte, Vorschaubilder und Coverbilder sollen grundsätzlich auf deinem Gerät bleiben.

Face Assist verarbeitet die Gesichtserkennung nur lokal auf dem Gerät und nur zur geometrischen Positionierung im Kamerabild. Die App identifiziert keine Personen, erstellt keinen Faceprint, bewertet kein Gesicht und lädt keine Gesichtsdaten auf Anbieter-Server hoch. Es gibt in der aktuellen Version keinen Account, keinen Anbieter-Cloud-Sync, keine Analytics, kein Crash SDK und kein Werbetracking.

Wenn du Support kontaktierst, verarbeiten wir deine E-Mail und den Inhalt deiner Nachricht zur Bearbeitung deiner Anfrage. Käufe, Abos, Kündigungen und Erstattungen laufen über Apple.
