Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 October 2026
In short: the CamelReel app has no accounts and keeps your photos, videos and stories on your device. This page also explains the limited data collected by this website and by third-party services used in the app.
This Privacy Policy explains how CamelReel ("we", "us") handles information in the CamelReel mobile app (the "App") and on this website (the "Website").
1. Information we do not collect through the App
- We do not require sign-up and do not create user accounts or profiles.
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or password in the App.
- We do not upload your photos, videos, stories or routes to our servers.
- We do not track your real-time location.
2. Information processed on your device
When you add photos or videos, the App reads them from your device with your permission. Location (GPS) tags embedded in your photos are read locally to place pins on the map. Your stories, routes, settings and exported videos are stored on your device. Reels are rendered on your device.
3. Third-party services used in the App
- Advertising (Free version): the Free version shows ads served by Google AdMob. Google may use device identifiers such as the advertising ID to serve and measure ads, subject to your device privacy settings and Google’s policies. Upgrading to Pro removes ads.
- Map tiles: to display maps, the App requests map tiles from third-party map providers. These requests necessarily include your IP address and the map area being viewed. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors and the respective providers.
- Place search: place names may be looked up using your device’s geocoding services.
- In-app purchases: Pro purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
4. Information collected through this Website
This Website does not use cookies, advertising trackers or analytics scripts.
If you send us a message through the contact form, we collect the information you submit (your name, email address, topic and message). To protect the form from abuse we also store a one-way hash of your IP address and your browser user-agent. We use this information only to respond to you and to keep the form secure. Messages are stored in Cloudflare D1, our database provider.
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may process technical request data (such as IP address) to deliver and secure the Website.
5. How long we keep Website messages
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and for record-keeping, and delete them within 12 months. You can ask us to delete your message earlier at any time.
6. Your choices and data deletion
- App data lives on your device. Delete it in the App via Settings › Storage & Privacy › Wipe All Data & Reset, or by uninstalling the App.
- To delete a message you sent through the Website, send a deletion request using our contact form. See our Data Deletion page for details.
- You can limit ad personalisation in your device’s privacy settings.
7. Children
CamelReel is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
