TraceCam Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 1, 2026

TraceCam is an offline camera-assisted tracing app. This policy explains what the app accesses and how it handles information.

Summary: TraceCam operates strictly offline and on-device. Camera frames and selected images are processed locally in real time. The app contains no analytics, no advertisements, and no user accounts, and does not transmit your drawings, reference photos, or projects to our servers.

📱 Information and Permissions

TraceCam requests only the minimum device access necessary to provide camera-assisted tracing functionality:

Permission / Feature Purpose Data Handling & Privacy
Camera
android.permission.CAMERA
With your permission, TraceCam displays a live view of your paper and can capture a frame for a tracing snapshot. Camera frames are processed in memory on your device and are not uploaded or transmitted by TraceCam.
Photos and images
Android System Photo Picker
You select reference images using Android's system photo picker. TraceCam accesses the images you choose to display and composite them. The app does not scan or index your photo library; it accesses only the specific images you select through the system interface.
Projects and settings
App Internal Storage
Project names, layer settings, blend modes, opacity, and associated project data are stored locally on your device so you can continue later. Stored on your local device. Android device backup may include app data according to your personal Android backup settings.
Exports & Snapshots
Media / Storage Interfaces
When you save a snapshot, it is written to your device through Android's media/storage interfaces. Saved directly to your local media storage. You retain complete control whether, when, and where you share it.

🔒 Collection and Sharing

TraceCam is designed from the ground up with a privacy-first, on-device architecture:

  • No Tracking or Telemetry: TraceCam does not contain analytics, advertising, or account SDKs and does not send your images or project content to the developer.
  • Google Play Services: The app can open Google Play's in-app update and review features when available; those Google Play services are governed by Google's own privacy terms.
  • External Sharing: If you choose to share an export using another app (such as email, messaging, or social platforms), that app's privacy policy applies to the shared file.

🗑️ Retention and Deletion

Your project data remains on your device until you delete projects, clear TraceCam's app data, or uninstall the app.

  • Local Project Data: Projects and setup presets persist in internal storage until you delete them within the app or clear app data via Android Settings.
  • Exported Snapshots: Exports saved to shared media remain on your device until you delete them separately in your gallery or file manager.
  • Backups: Device backups are controlled by Android and your individual device backup settings.
  • Data Deletion Assistance: Because we do not collect or store user data on external servers, all data deletion can be performed directly on your phone. For any questions or guidance, contact us at contact@softtechservice.site.

👶 Children's Privacy

TraceCam is a general-purpose drawing utility and does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.

🔄 Changes and Contact

This policy may be updated when the app's behavior changes. The current version is included with the app source and published on our website.

For privacy questions, contact the developer through the support contact listed on the TraceCam Google Play listing or by email at contact@softtechservice.site.
