Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 7, 2026

ASCII Camera is designed from the ground up to respect your privacy. All image and video processing happens entirely on your device using the GPU. Nothing leaves your iPhone or iPad.

Information We Collect

We collect no personal data, usage data, analytics, or crash reports. ASCII Camera contains no tracking code, no third-party SDKs, and makes no network requests.

Camera Access

ASCII Camera requires access to your device's camera to convert live video into ASCII art in real time. All camera processing is performed locally on your device using Apple's Metal framework. Camera data is never transmitted anywhere.

Microphone Access

ASCII Camera requests microphone access when you record a video, so that audio is captured alongside the ASCII video. Audio is recorded and stored entirely on your device. It is never transmitted to us or any third party.

Photos & Videos

Any photos or videos you capture are saved only to your device's local storage and photo library. We have no access to your photo library contents.

Sharing

When you share a photo or video using the built-in iOS share sheet, it is handled entirely by iOS. Any third-party apps or services you share to have their own privacy policies, which are outside our control.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties — because we don't collect any in the first place.

Children's Privacy

ASCII Camera is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Security

Because all data stays on your device, its security is determined by your device's own settings and protections (passcode, Face ID, encryption).

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the new version will be published at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
