This privacy policy explains how TalkCam handles user information.
1. Local-first recording data
TalkCam keeps your creative data on the device, including:
- Language, appearance, and recording preferences
- Projects, scenes, and takes — camera video (front or back) and microphone audio
- Pasted scripts, the scenes split from them, and locally saved take-timing reports
- Text, image, logo, beauty, crop, and letterbox settings, plus imported supplemental footage
TalkCam requires no account, and project content is not uploaded to a TalkCam backend. Recording, editing, and the final export render all happen on-device and work offline. An exported video is written to your Photos library only when you choose Save to Photos.
2. On-device script splitting
When you use Split Script, the basic splitter runs entirely on device and preserves your original wording. On supported devices, TalkCam can optionally use Apple Intelligence to organize the split — this also runs on device. Your script is not sent to a TalkCam server or any third-party service.
3. No tracking, no ads
TalkCam contains no ad SDKs, no third-party analytics trackers, and no cross-app tracking. The app does not automatically collect personal data or sell it. Camera and microphone are used only for recording; if no camera is available but the microphone is, Audio-Only Studio records microphone audio on device in the same way. If you choose to email support, we receive the email address and details you send so we can respond; do not include project files unless you want to share them.
4. StoreKit and purchases
- TalkCam uses Apple StoreKit for optional in-app purchases: a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
- Billing, refunds, cancellations, and purchase history are handled by Apple.
- TalkCam stores a local entitlement cache on-device to show membership status quickly and restore access after relaunch.
- TalkCam reads only the entitlement status needed to unlock Pro. It cannot access your Apple ID password, payment methods, or your full Apple transaction history.
- Opening support or legal links uses your browser; no TalkCam page receives project content.
5. Device permissions
TalkCam uses the following device permissions, each for a clear on-device purpose:
- Camera — to capture the front or back camera while recording. Camera frames are processed and recorded locally; they are not uploaded or transmitted.
- Microphone — to record audio alongside the video. Audio is captured and encoded on-device.
- Photos (add-only) — requested only when you choose to save an export. TalkCam only writes files; it does not read or browse your existing photos.
TalkCam does not request location, contacts, health, Bluetooth, full Photos access, or background tracking permissions.
6. Data deletion
You can delete the TalkCam app from your device to remove its local data. Apple platforms may retain purchase records for your Apple ID so purchases can be restored.
7. Children's privacy
TalkCam is a general-purpose creator tool and is not directed at children. The app requires no account, does not automatically collect personal information, and contains no chat, public posting, user-generated content sharing, ads, or tracking.
