Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the Warp Cam: Time Warp Scan app (“the app”) handles, why, and what we never do with it. We wrote it to describe the app’s actual behavior, not a generic template.
The short version
- Your photos and videos never leave your device. All camera effects and scans are processed locally. The app contains no upload functionality for your media.
- We do not show ads and do not use an advertising identifier.
- We do not ask you to create an account and do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or contacts.
- We do not sell or rent any data to third parties.
What the app accesses on your device
| Permission | Why | Leaves your device? |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | To record the time-warp and face-scan effects, which are the core function of the app. | No |
| Microphone | To record audio together with your video, when you record with sound. | No |
| Music and audio | Only when you choose to add a soundtrack, so you can pick a track from your own library. | No |
| Storage (Android 12 and older) | To save your creations and show them in the app’s own gallery. On newer Android versions no permission is needed, because the system grants an app access to the files it created itself. | No |
| Notifications | To tell you when a video finished saving, and for occasional service messages. | — |
| Internet | To download the trending effects and soundtracks offered inside the app. | — |
The app does not request access to your full photo gallery. It can only read the files it created itself in its own time_warp folder.
What we do collect
We use Google Firebase to keep the app working and to understand which features are used:
- Usage analytics (Firebase Analytics). Which screens you open and which effects you try, as anonymous event counts. This is not linked to your identity and does not include an advertising ID.
- Crash diagnostics (Firebase Crashlytics). If the app crashes, we receive the technical error details, your device model, and your Android version, so we can fix it.
- Push messaging (Firebase Cloud Messaging). A device token so we can send notifications. It identifies the installation, not you.
- Feedback you choose to send. If you submit feedback or a rating from inside the app, we receive your message along with your app version, device manufacturer and model, Android version, and country code. If you do not send feedback, we receive none of this.
Firebase is provided by Google, which processes this data as our service provider. See Firebase privacy information and the Google Privacy Policy.
What we do not collect
- Your photos, videos, or recorded audio
- Your precise or approximate location
- Your contacts, calendar, call logs, or messages
- Your advertising identifier
- Any payment information — the app has no purchases
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information through the feedback form, contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and your choices
- Your creations stay on your device until you delete them, either in the app or through your device’s file manager.
- Analytics and crash data are retained by Firebase according to Google’s default retention periods and are not tied to your identity.
- To stop all collection, uninstall the app. You can also revoke camera, microphone, and other permissions at any time in your device’s Android settings; the related features will simply stop working.
- To request deletion of feedback you sent us, email the address below and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and revise the date at the top.
