Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 27, 2026
Introduction and Scope
Welcome to hd camera, an HD camera app with beauty features, ultra camera zoom, pro cam, and HD video tools. This Privacy Policy explains how Flame Developer collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Android app.
We are committed to transparency and respect your privacy. This policy applies to the hd camera app developed by Flame Developer. It follows Google Play Developer Program Policies, GDPR (for EU users), CCPA/CPRA (for California residents), and CalOPPA.
The app does not require you to create an account or provide personal information. Any data recovery operations are performed locally on your device. We do not collect any type of user data that identifies you personally beyond what is strictly necessary for the app to function, and all core camera and media processing happens locally on your device.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal data from you in the traditional sense. The app processes photos, videos, and audio you capture directly on your device.
We may receive limited technical information through third-party services (such as crash reports or analytics) to improve the app. This does not include names, emails, or other direct identifiers unless you voluntarily contact us.
Location information is only accessed if you grant permission and is used solely for features that may benefit from it (such as geotagging photos, if available). It is not stored by us or shared beyond the necessary SDKs.
Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
Under GDPR, we process any limited data on these bases:
Consent: When you grant app permissions (e.g., camera, microphone, location).
Legitimate Interests: To provide and improve the app’s core camera and video features, ensure stability through crash reporting, and deliver relevant in-app experiences.
Contractual Necessity: To fulfill the functionality you expect when using the app.
You can withdraw consent at any time by changing device permissions or uninstalling the app.
Permissions We Use in Our App and Why
The app requests certain Android permissions only when needed for specific features. You can manage or revoke them anytime in your device settings. We explain each clearly so you understand why they are required:
Camera (Sensitive Permission): Allows the app to access your device’s camera to capture photos and record videos. This is essential for the core HD camera, beauty mode, pro cam, and video recording features.
Record Audio (Sensitive Permission): Enables recording audio with videos or for any voice-related tools. It supports high-quality video capture with sound.
Access Fine Location and Access Coarse Location (Sensitive Permissions): Provide precise (GPS) or approximate (Wi-Fi/mobile network) location. This may support features like geotagging photos or location-based enhancements, using the Google Play Services Location API for accuracy and efficiency.
Internet: Allows the app to connect to the internet for loading online content, delivering ads, sending crash reports, or fetching updates when necessary.
Read Media Images, Read Media Video, and Read Media Visual User Selected: Let the app access photos and videos you have selected or stored on your device (for example, to apply beauty effects, edit, or view media). The “user selected” permission ensures access is limited to what you explicitly choose to share.
Read External Storage: Supports reading media files from external storage for compatibility with older Android versions.
Post Notification: Enables the app to send important alerts, updates, or reminders about features and premium access.
These permissions are requested only when the relevant feature is used, following Android best practices for user control and privacy.
Data Storage and Security
All photos, videos, and media you create or edit with the app are stored locally on your device. We do not upload or store your media files on our servers.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect any limited data that passes through third-party services (such as crash reports). However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data processed locally (such as through offline speech recognition) never leaves your device through our application.
Third-Party Libraries & SDKs Used in Our App
We use several trusted libraries and SDKs to deliver a smooth experience. Here is a detailed list with their purpose and relevant privacy resources:
Google Play Services Location (com.google.android.gms:play-services-location): Provides accurate GPS, Wi-Fi, and network-based location services for features that may use location. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
Koin (Dependency Injection): A lightweight framework that helps manage app components efficiently. It does not collect or transmit user data.
CameraX (androidx.camera libraries): Powers the camera preview, photo capture, video recording, and lifecycle management for reliable performance across devices. No data is sent to third parties by CameraX itself.
Glide (com.github.bumptech.glide:glide): Loads and caches images efficiently for a better user interface. It works with local or remote images but does not collect personal data on its own.
Media3 / ExoPlayer (androidx.media3): Handles media playback for videos and related content. Processing stays local where possible.
Firebase (Crashlytics, Analytics, Messaging):
Firebase Crashlytics helps us receive anonymized crash reports to fix bugs and improve stability.
Firebase Analytics provides insights into app usage (anonymous and aggregated) to enhance features.
Firebase Messaging enables push notifications for updates and important information. Learn more in Firebase’s Privacy and Security documentation and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Android DataStore: Stores app preferences locally in a secure, asynchronous way. No data is shared externally.
Vosk (Offline speech recognition module): Provides voice input functionality entirely offline. Speech processing happens on your device with no internet connection required and no data sent to any servers.
Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies
The app shows ads using AdMob (Google), AdX, and Facebook (Meta) Audience Network. These services may collect certain device information (such as advertising identifiers, device type, and general usage data) to show relevant ads.
We use Firebase Analytics for anonymous usage insights to improve the app.
For details on how these services handle data:
Google Ads: Google Advertising Policies and Google Privacy Policy
Meta (Facebook): Meta Privacy Policy
You can manage ad personalization through your device settings (e.g., Google Ad Settings or Facebook settings).
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The app itself does not use traditional web cookies. Third-party advertising and analytics services may use similar technologies (such as SDK-based identifiers) on their end. These are governed by the third parties’ policies linked above.
Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data
We process minimal data, primarily technical or permission-based information needed for the app to work. Any processing by third-party SDKs (Firebase, ad networks) is for crash reporting, usage analytics, notifications, and personalized advertising. All local camera, video, and speech data stays on your device.
Data Retention and Deletion
We do not retain your personal media files. Any limited technical data received through SDKs is kept only as long as necessary for the stated purposes (e.g., improving the app).
To delete all associated data, simply uninstall the app from your device. This removes local files and preferences created by the app.
Payment Terms and In-App Purchases
The app offers in-app purchases and paid subscriptions for premium features.
All payments and subscriptions are handled safely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, store, or see your payment details such as card information or Google account passwords.
Subscriptions: They renew automatically unless you cancel before the next billing date. Manage or cancel anytime from your Google Play account settings. You keep premium features until the current period ends.
Purchase Information: Google may share limited, non-personal details with us (such as subscription status) so we can unlock features.
Refunds & Cancellations: Handle all refund requests through Google Play according to their rules.
Third-Party Sharing: We do not share your purchase or subscription information with any third parties, except as required by Google for payment verification.
All in-app purchases and subscriptions follow Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
User Rights Under GDPR
If you are in the European Union, you have rights including:
Access to your data
Rectification
Erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
Restriction of processing

Non-discrimination for exercising rights
Contact us to exercise these rights.
“Do Not Track” (CalOPPA)
The app does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals from browsers because it is a native Android application. You can control tracking through device advertising settings and app permissions.
International Data Transfers
Any limited data sent to third-party services (such as Firebase or ad networks) may be transferred to servers outside your country, including the United States. These companies commit to appropriate safeguards under GDPR and other laws. Google and Meta provide details in their privacy policies.
Protection from Malware and Network Misuse
We design the app to avoid malware and do not engage in network misuse. We encourage users to download only from Google Play and keep their devices updated.
Links to Other Websites and Apps
The app may contain links to external sites or services for support or additional information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their policies.
Children’s Privacy
The app does not target or attract children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it.
Compliance with Legal Obligations and Law Enforcement
We may disclose limited information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or the app’s integrity.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The “Last Updated” date at the top will change. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
