Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 21, 2026

TacitusCam is built to be private. This policy describes what data the app handles and what happens to it.

What we collect

No personal information. Accounts are anonymous — no email address, name, or phone number is required or collected.
Video and audio recorded by a phone you set up as a camera is uploaded over TLS to our cloud storage (hosted in the EU) so you can view it from your paired devices.
Detection events (timestamps and bounding-box coordinates of motion/person detections) are stored to power alerts and the timeline.
Device data: a push-notification token (to deliver alerts), device name, and battery level of camera devices.

What we do NOT do

No ads, no analytics SDKs, no trackers.
We never sell or share your data with third parties.
No human ever views your footage; it is accessible only through your account's paired devices.

Retention and deletion

Recordings are automatically and permanently deleted after your plan's retention window (24 hours on Free, 7 days on Premium). Deleting the app from your camera device stops all recording immediately. You can remove all data by resetting the app on your devices; orphaned recordings expire and are deleted by the retention window in all cases.

Payments

Subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details.

Camera and microphone access

The app requests camera and microphone permission only on devices you explicitly set up as cameras, for the sole purpose of recording the video you asked it to record.
