ORVA Camera Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 12, 2026 / 日本語

Yuhi Mitani ("we", "us") sets out below how information is handled in the iOS / iPadOS app "ORVA Camera" (the "App").

1. Operator and contact

• Operator: Yuhi Mitani
• Contact: support@orvacamera.com

Please use the address above for questions about personal data and for requests to access, correct or delete it.

2. Basic approach

The App captures, edits and exports photos and videos entirely on your device. This version has no feature that uploads photos or videos to our servers or to any third party. This version does not include AI generation or AI editing.

3. Photos and videos

• Photos and videos you capture or pick from your photo library, your edit settings, rendered results and edit history are stored in the App's private storage on your device.
• Saving to your photo library and sharing with other apps happen only when you choose to do so.
• When you show a photo in a widget, the App and its widget extension use a shared on-device area (App Group) that holds a reduced-size thumbnail and summary values such as capture dates and daily counts. This shared area is not transmitted off the device either.
• Camera, microphone and photo library access are used only to capture, to record video with sound, and to import or save photos. You can change these permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
• Please take care before sharing photos that contain other people or embedded capture data such as location.
• If a future version sends photos to an external AI service, we will update this policy before releasing it, state the recipient, the data sent and the purpose, and obtain your explicit consent.

4. Account information

Sign-in is provided by the authentication service Clerk (Clerk, Inc.). You can sign in with Apple, with a Google account, or with an email address.

Information Clerk handles on our behalf:

• Email address
• Account identifiers (the user ID and session information issued by Clerk)
• Profile information such as your name, when provided by Apple or Google for the sign-in method you chose
• Technical information used to keep sign-in secure and prevent abuse (IP address, device type, last activity time)

Purposes: sign-in, identifying and managing your account, preventing abuse, and responding to support requests.

Apart from reading your email address to display it, the App itself does not store account information on servers of our own. Clerk's handling of data is governed by Clerk's privacy policy and data processing agreement.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

• In-app purchases are processed by Apple (App Store). We never receive credit card numbers or other payment details.
• The App uses Apple's StoreKit to verify purchase status on the device and decide which app icons you are entitled to use. Purchase information is not sent to our servers.
• Purchase entitlements belong to the Apple Account used in the App Store. Switching or deleting your App sign-in account neither cancels your agreement with Apple nor moves your purchases.

6. Information we do not collect

The App does not collect location, contacts, health data or payment details. It contains no advertising or analytics SDK and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

7. Retention and deletion

• Photos, videos and edit data on your device remain until you delete them in the App or uninstall the App.
• You can start account deletion from "Account management / delete" on the App's Settings screen. Once deletion completes, the account information held by Clerk is erased according to Clerk's process. Copies held in the authentication provider's backups are erased within a reasonable period after deletion (up to approximately 90 days).
• Deleting your account does not automatically delete the photos and videos on your device. To remove them, delete them in the App or uninstall the App. Photos exported to your photo library must be deleted separately in the Photos app.
• On the same device, the same on-device photos are shown even if you sign in with a different account. Take care when sharing a device with others.
• To cancel a subscription, use Apple's subscription management. Account deletion does not cancel it.

8. Sharing with third parties

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with third parties except:

• to the extent necessary with Clerk, Apple and the sign-in provider you chose (Apple, Google), as described in sections 4 and 5;
• where required by law; or
• with your consent.

9. Security

The App stores sign-in session credentials in protected areas such as the iOS Keychain and communicates over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Because photos and videos never leave your device, we recommend protecting the device with a passcode.

10. Your rights

You may request access to, correction, deletion or suspension of use of your information held by us or by Clerk. Many of these actions are available directly in the App's account management screen. For other requests, contact support@orvacamera.com. We may ask you to write from your registered email address to verify your identity.

11. Minors

If you are a minor, please use the App with the consent of a parent or guardian.

12. Changes to this policy

Changes will be published on this page, and important changes will be announced in the App. A revised policy takes effect on the effective date stated when it is published.

13. Governing law

This policy is interpreted in accordance with the laws of Japan, and the Tokushima District Court has exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over any dispute relating to it.
