- lilocam collects no personal data, runs no analytics, has no accounts and talks to no server.
- Your photographs, movies, recipes and settings live on your phone, in the app's own folder. Nothing leaves it unless you share or save something yourself.
- The only network the app ever joins is your camera's own Wi-Fi, while a transfer or remote-shooting session runs.
- Delete the app and everything it holds goes with it. There is nothing of yours anywhere else.
1. Who we are
lilocam is a camera and digital darkroom app for iPhone made by Koua Lo, trading as Daisycloud Software (“we”, “us”). This policy describes what the app handles on your phone and confirms what it never does. It applies to lilocam on the App Store and on TestFlight.
2. What the app handles, and where it stays
- Photographs and movies you take are stored on your phone, in the app's own folder (visible in the Files app) and, only when you choose Save to Photos or Share, wherever you send them.
- Location, only if you turn geotagging on, is written into the photograph's own metadata on your phone. It is not sent anywhere.
- Your camera: with your permission the app connects to your camera over Bluetooth and over the camera's own Wi-Fi network to read and write its film recipe slots, download photographs and shoot remotely. What it learns about the camera — its name, model, serial number and recipes — is kept on your phone as the camera's profile. Nothing about the camera leaves the phone.
- Recipes and settings are stored on the phone. A recipe you export as a file or a QR code contains only that recipe's name, notes and settings.
3. What the app does not do
- It does not collect, transmit, sell or share any data.
- It does not use tracking, advertising or analytics of any kind, and includes no third-party SDKs that do.
- It does not connect to the internet. The only network it joins is your camera's own access point, while a transfer or remote-shooting session runs, and it leaves that network when the session ends.
- It has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers.
4. Permissions the app asks for, and why
Each permission is requested when the feature that needs it is first used, and the app works without any you decline — that feature is simply unavailable.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera | To take photographs and movies, and to read a recipe off a page you point the phone at. Frames read this way are never saved. |
| Microphone | To record sound with movies. |
| Bluetooth | To talk to your camera: pairing, its recipe slots, and starting a Wi-Fi transfer. |
| Local network | To talk to your camera over its own Wi-Fi, for photographs and remote shooting. |
| Location (while using) | To write where a photograph was taken into its file, only if geotagging is on. |
| Add to Photos | To save what you export to your Photos library. The app never reads your library. |
5. Deleting your data
Delete a photograph, movie, recipe or camera profile inside the app, or delete the app itself: everything it holds is in its own container on your phone and goes with it. Anything you chose to save to Photos or share elsewhere is yours to manage there.
6. Children
lilocam is a general-audience camera app. Because it collects no data at all, it collects none from children either.
7. Changes to this policy
If the app ever changes what it handles, this page will say so, with a new effective date at the top. The version of this policy that applies is the one published when you use the app.

9. Trademarks
lilocam is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any camera manufacturer. Every film look is an approximation dialed in by hand with Daisycloud's Nebula darkroom engine.
