Privacy

Last updated 16 October 2026

Who we are

VectraSEO LLC operates PrimeCam and is responsible for the personal information we process under this policy. The Google Play publisher name is Ryabinski Labs. Contact privacy@primecam.app with privacy questions or requests. A registered mailing address is available on written request.

Information the app processes

Camera frames, audio, recordings, recording metadata and subject-detection results are processed locally. PrimeCam has no app account, advertising identifiers, analytics SDK or in-app crash-reporting service. We do not receive your footage from the app.

Internal builds carrying the unlock also store a signed Google Play purchase receipt when available, which maintains paid access. The receipt includes purchase information such as the product and purchase token; its signature is checked locally. Those builds additionally keep a count of finished takes, used only to decide when the app may mention the 4K unlock. This is private app storage, separate from your recordings, and none of it leaves the device.

An earlier internal build stored trial activation and clock-check timestamps, elapsed-time and boot-count values and a local existing-user access flag. The trial was withdrawn on 17 September 2026 and those records are deleted on upgrade; nothing of the kind is stored or read any more.

The missing INTERNET permission prevents the app from opening its own internet connection. It does not prevent communication with another Android service: builds carrying the unlock include Google's Play Billing library and communicate with Google Play for product details, purchases, acknowledgement and restoration. Google Play may use its own network connection. No footage is sent through that billing flow.

Website and contact information

The website does not use analytics, advertising cookies or browser fingerprinting. If you submit the mailing-list form, we process your email address and optional phone model as described below. If you email us, we receive your address, message and any attachments you choose to include so we can respond. Ordinary website delivery also exposes request information, such as your IP address, to our hosting and delivery providers; the app's missing internet permission does not apply to your web browser.

The invite mailing list

If you submit the mailing-list form on the home page, we collect:

• Your email address — so we can send you release notes. Required, because there is nowhere else to send it. It is not how you get the app: PrimeCam is on Google Play and needs no invite.
• Which phone you shoot on, if you choose to type it — optional, and used to help decide which devices to test next.

The list is double opt-in. Submitting the form creates a pending entry and sends you one confirmation email; if you do not click the link in it, the pending entry expires and you are never added. We do not add anyone by any other route, and we do not buy, rent, or import lists.

Legal basis (UK/EU GDPR): consent, Article 6(1)(a), given by confirming the link. You can withdraw it at any time by writing to privacy@primecam.app, and every list email we send also carries an unsubscribe link. Withdrawal removes you; it does not undo emails already sent.

Retention. We keep a confirmed address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, and unconfirmed entries expire on their own. This retention statement concerns the mailing list, not Google Play transaction records.

Where it goes. The list is stored and sent by emcognito (ec.emcognito.com), acting as our processor and holding it only to run the list. It is not sold, rented, shared with advertisers, or used to build a profile of you, and it is never loaded into the app — the app does not receive the mailing list.

You do not have to use the form. Mailing hello@primecam.app reaches the same people.

Feedback form

If you send a message through the feedback form, we collect:

• Your message — required, because it is the point of the form.
• Your email address, if you choose to give one — optional, used only to reply to you.
• Your phone and app version, if you choose to keep or type it. The app fills it in when it opens the form; you can edit or clear it before sending.

The form is protected against spam by Siftfy (siftfy.io), acting as our processor. Your browser runs a check when you press Send, and our server passes Siftfy the text of your message, with the check result, to decide whether it is spam. Siftfy keeps submissions it evaluates for 30 days, and email addresses are not masked in that period; we do not send Siftfy your email address or phone details. Our server does not store your message: it is emailed to our support inbox, where it stays until we delete it.

Legal basis (UK/EU GDPR): our legitimate interest in running the service and answering the people who write to us, Article 6(1)(f). Spam protection is part of that. To see, correct or delete a message you sent, write to privacy@primecam.app.

What the app accesses on your device

• Camera — to show a preview and record video. Required.
• Microphone — to record audio with your video. Required.
• Notifications — to show an ongoing notification while a recording is running, so Android does not stop it and so you can see it is rolling.
• Nearby Bluetooth devices — only to list connected Bluetooth microphones so you can choose one as an audio input. No pairing data leaves the device.

Recordings and their JSON sidecar files are written to your device’s own movie storage. The app uses these files to save and display your takes. It does not upload them.

Keeping it safe

We hold no copy of your footage, so there is no database of ours that could be breached containing your recordings. What protects your recordings is the same thing that protects the rest of your phone: Android’s per-app sandbox, your device encryption, and your screen lock. Files written to shared storage can be read by other apps you grant storage access to, so treat them as you would any other video on the device.

Retention and deletion

Recordings and sidecars in shared Movies and Documents storage remain until you delete them, including after uninstalling PrimeCam. Delete them using the app or your device's file tools. Copies you make elsewhere have their own retention.

Local purchase records remain in app storage while needed to maintain access. Clearing app data or uninstalling removes that local storage. App backup is disabled; clearing local data does not delete Google's purchase records or cancel a purchase. Restoring a purchase asks Google Play to confirm ownership again.

Mailing-list retention is described above. Support correspondence is used to resolve your request and maintain the related support record; contact us to request its deletion. Google applies its own retention rules to Play account and transaction information.

Subject detection

Focus following identifies eyes, faces, bodies and animals entirely on-device, using machine-learning models bundled inside the app package. No image, frame, or detection result is uploaded by PrimeCam. Purchase processing does not include this data.

Service providers and disclosures

We use emcognito to run the optional mailing list and hosting, delivery and email providers to operate the website and respond to messages. Google independently processes Play installations and, in builds carrying the unlock, purchases. We do not sell personal information or share footage with advertisers. Purchase and support records are not camera telemetry; we use them to administer purchases and respond to requests.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, withdraw consent, or object to certain processing. Contact privacy@primecam.app to make a request. Mailing-list messages also include an unsubscribe link. We may need information to verify and locate your request. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law; Google's account and payment records are managed through Google.

Children

PrimeCam and its mailing list are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information through the mailing list or support. If you believe a child provided such information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate.

Google Play and internal purchase testing

Google processes installation, device and transaction information under its privacy policy. We can receive Play Console installation, diagnostic and transaction reports for operating the app and handling purchases. These are separate from footage and subject detection.

Purchase features are currently in internal testing. There is no trial. In those builds, Google Play handles payment, including any payment-method details you provide to Google. PrimeCam does not receive your card number or security code. The app receives purchase status and a signed receipt to verify access, acknowledge a completed purchase and restore it later. Google may also provide transaction information through Play Console for support, refunds and accounting.

Nothing charges you automatically: a purchase requires a separate Google Play confirmation, it is a single payment, and there is no subscription and no renewal. Recording is never withheld — an install that has not purchased records 1920x1080 indefinitely. This disclosure describes the internal test implementation; it is not an announcement that a paid unlock is available in the current public release.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be posted here with a new date. If a future version of PrimeCam were ever to add network access, that would be stated here plainly and in the app before it happened.
