Privacy policy.

Emulsion Cam is a film-simulation camera app. It is built so that nothing ever leaves your device.

Data we collect

None. Emulsion Cam collects no personal data, no usage analytics, no crash reports and no device identifiers. The app has no internet access: it does not request the network permission and contains no networking code, advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.

If you installed Emulsion Cam from Google Play, Google may report aggregated crash and performance statistics to us through the Play Console, and the app may ask the Google Play Store whether a newer version is available (so we can require an update when an old version would no longer work correctly). Both are performed by Google Play itself under Google’s privacy policy—the app sends nothing on its own.

Camera

Emulsion Cam uses the camera to take photos and record videos—that is the app’s sole purpose. Camera frames are processed on your device to apply film looks and are never transmitted anywhere.

Microphone

The microphone is used only while you record a video with sound enabled, and the recording is saved only into your own video file. If you decline the microphone permission, videos are simply recorded without audio. The microphone is never accessed outside an active recording you started.

Photos and videos

Your captures are saved to your device’s own gallery (DCIM/Emulsion Cam). Emulsion Cam only reads back the files it created itself; it does not request access to, read or scan the rest of your photo library. Importing a photo for editing, or a custom LUT file, uses the system file picker, which shares only the single file you choose.

Saved photos contain no location data. They include a small embedded note with the film look and effect settings used, so the app can display them later.

Backups

Android’s standard backup service may include the app’s settings and your imported film profiles in your device’s Google backup, under Google’s backup terms. This is handled by Android, not by us, and can be turned off in your device’s backup settings.

This website

This site is a set of static pages with self-hosted fonts. Our host records standard server logs (such as IP address and requested page) for security and reliability, as any web server does.

Google Ads tag, only with your consent. To measure whether our advertising brings visitors here, we use the Google tag (gtag.js) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It loads only after you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner (legal basis: your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG). Google then sets cookies and receives data such as your IP address, browser details, the pages you visit and whether you clicked through to Google Play. Google may process this data in the United States; Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. See Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses data from partner sites.

If you decline, the tag is never loaded and no cookies are set. Your choice is stored only in your browser. You can change or withdraw it at any time under Cookie settings, also in the footer of every page.

Children

Emulsion Cam does not collect data from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to, correction or deletion of personal data about you, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The app collects no personal data, and this site does so only through the Google tag described above if you accept it; for data Google holds, you can also contact Google directly. You are always welcome to ask.

Changes

If this policy ever changes (for example, if a future version adds an online feature), the updated policy will be posted at this address before the change ships.
