PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: Dec 04, 2025 (Last Updated: December 04, 2025)
Jenny Nguyen operates the Digital Vintage Camera HD application, which is provided at no cost and is ad-supported. This privacy policy is intended to inform users regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when using our Service.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We may collect and use personal information to provide and improve our Service. The types of personal data we collect include:
Device or Other IDs: We may collect Device IDs (such as UUID, Advertising ID, or other unique device identifiers) for the purposes outlined in this policy. We do not collect IMEI or MAC addresses.
Approximate Location: Derived from your device's IP address.
Log Data: If the app encounters an error, we may collect log data such as your device's IP address, device name, operating system version, app configuration, and usage statistics.
In-App Activity: Information about your interactions with the app, such as app launches, feature usage, and session duration (collected via Firebase Analytics).
Cookies: We do not explicitly use cookies, but third-party services like Google Play Services, AdMob, and Firebase Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information for their services.
Precise Location: The app can access your device’s precise location (GPS) when you grant the CAMERA + LOCATION permission together and use features like “add GPS watermark” or “geo-tag photos”. This data is processed only on-device and NEVER sent to our servers or any third party.
Crash logs with installed apps list: Firebase Crashlytics automatically collects a list of all apps installed on your device when a crash occurs. This helps us fix bugs faster. Google receives this list. You can disable it any time in Settings → Privacy → Analytics & diagnostics → turn off “Share analytics with developers”.
The personal information we collect is used for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain the Service (e.g., core camera functionality).
To improve, personalize, and enhance the Service (e.g., feature recommendations based on usage).
To monitor the performance and error reporting of the app.
For targeted advertising and analytics purposes (e.g., serving relevant ads via AdMob).
We will not use or share your information except as described in this Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising by resetting your Advertising ID in your device settings (Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID).
Our app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. These include:
Google Play Services
AdMob
Firebase Analytics
These third parties may collect and use data in accordance with their own privacy policies. You can find links to their privacy policies below:

Advertising and Opt-Out Options
This app uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob (provided by Google) may collect data such as your device advertising ID, IP address, and usage information to serve personalized ads.
Google does not sell your personal information. However, the use of your data for personalized advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under certain US state privacy laws (e.g., California, Colorado, Virginia, etc.).
How to opt out:
1. Opt out of personalized ads: Go to your device settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization (on Android) or Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising > Personalized Ads (turn off on iOS).
2. Manage your ads preferences online: Visit https://adssettings.google.com
3. For California and other state residents: You can submit a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request at https://myadcenter.google.com

Right to Know What Personal Information Is Shared
You have the right to know whether your personal information is being shared with third parties and for what purpose.
Yes, we share the following personal information with third parties:
• Device advertising ID
• IP address (approximate location)
• App usage data (via Firebase Analytics)
• Crash logs and performance data
These are shared with:
• Google AdMob (for showing ads)
• Google Firebase Analytics (for understanding how the app is used)
• Google Play Services (for core app functionality)
Purpose of sharing:
– To display relevant ads
– To improve app performance and fix bugs
– To provide basic camera features
You can see exactly what data Google receives from apps like ours here:
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7666335
You can stop all sharing for advertising at any time using the opt-out methods listed above.
Right to Know Whether Your Personal Information Is Sold
You have the right to know if we sell your personal information.
We do NOT sell your personal information in the traditional sense.
However, sharing your Device Advertising ID and usage data with Google AdMob for personalized ads may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain US state privacy laws (California CCPA, Colorado CPA, Virginia VCDPA, etc.).
Therefore, YES — this specific sharing for personalized ads is legally treated as a “sale” in some states.
You can stop this “sale” instantly using any of these methods:
1. Device settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
2. Device settings → Privacy → Apple Advertising → turn off Personalized Ads (iOS)
3. Online: https://myadcenter.google.com (click “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”)
4. Online: https://adssettings.google.com
After opting out, you will only see non-personalized ads and no further “sale” occurs

The CAMERA permission is used to capture high-quality photos and enable advanced shooting features; it never collects, stores, or shares any images, as all processing stays on your device.
The RECORD_AUDIO is used to capture audio while recording videos. The microphone is active only during video recording. Videos with sound can be saved, viewed, or shared by you. All processing is done locally and never collected.
The android.hardware.camera permission ensures that the app can access a device’s camera to capture high-quality photos and record videos. By declaring this requirement, the app is installed only on devices that include camera hardware, which guarantees that all shooting and editing features work properly.
Please note:
Data is collected and processed locally but not stored, uploaded or shared.
All permissions shut down as soon as no active feature requires them.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy here and update the "Effective Date" at the top of the page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes. Significant updates will also be notified in-app.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will immediately delete this information from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit (e.g., TLS for data sent to third-party services). However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Service may contain links to other websites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
