Effective September 27, 2026. This policy applies to FrameDir for iOS / iPadOS version 1.0 and is maintained by AILife Lab. FrameDir is available on the App Store; features depend on the published version.
This version primarily processes data on your device. We do not operate a backend that receives projects, camera footage, or speech. The app does not include advertising trackers or analytics services.
1. Information processed on your device
- Projects and devices: Project names, scene details, camera slots, camera names, Bluetooth device identifiers, and recently used Wi‑Fi names help restore projects and reconnect devices.
- Video and marks: Local camera streams, which may include audio, are shown for monitoring and briefly buffered in memory. When you add a mark, the app saves a still and short clips from camera slots with live video. A clip may include audio from the camera stream. Marks may store time, camera slot, and available stream or camera timecode.
- Speech notes: With microphone permission and the feature enabled, Apple system services transcribe microphone audio on the device. The app does not save raw microphone recording as an audio file or upload it to a server we operate. Recognized text may be saved as a project note according to your settings. The device may download a local language resource from Apple.
- Wi‑Fi credentials: A password is stored in the device Keychain only if you choose to save it. The project database stores the network name, not the password. When you connect a supported camera, the app sends the required network name and password to that camera over a local connection at your direction.
2. Permissions
Bluetooth discovers and connects supported cameras. Local-network access receives RTMP or native camera previews and exchanges connection commands. The microphone is used only when you enable speech notes. The current Wi‑Fi name reduces repeated entry. You may revoke permissions in system settings, although related features may stop working.
3. Sharing and third parties
The app does not automatically upload local content to us or advertisers. If you choose to export and share a mark file, it may include note text, timestamps, camera names, or RTMP addresses. Your chosen recipient or service handles the exported copy under its own terms. Review the file and destination before sharing, especially if an RTMP address contains a stream key.
Open-source camera protocol components support local camera connections; they do not create a channel for uploading your content to a server we operate. Apple's system services, App Store, and device backups operate under Apple's policies.
4. Retention, deletion, and security
Local projects, device records, transcripts, and mark media have no automatic expiry. You can delete marks, speech notes, and saved devices in the app. Deleting a mark also removes its associated still and clip files. Uninstalling the app removes its app data, but exported copies and system backups must be managed where they are stored.
Opt-in Wi‑Fi passwords are protected by the iOS Keychain, not stored in project files. Turning off the save option for that network and connecting with that choice removes the corresponding Keychain entry. Do not rely on app uninstallation alone to clear Keychain entries.
5. Contact and changes
For questions about this policy or local-data deletion, email sherardchina@gmail.com. If a future release introduces cloud services, analytics, or other data handling, we will update this policy and App Store privacy disclosures and provide choices or seek consent where applicable.
