1. Overview
LeanCam (凌卡) values your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you use LeanCam (capture, editing, accounts, subscriptions, and cloud retouching). We do not use advertising tracking.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect information necessary to provide the service:
- Account Information: When you register or log in, we collect your phone number, email address, or third-party login identifier, plus profile data such as nickname/name and avatar for account identification and sync.
- Device & Security Information: For account security and abuse prevention, we may use device model, OS version, or an app-generated device identifier. It is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
- Local Photos & Edits: Photos and edits are stored locally on your device or in the system Photos library. They are not uploaded unless you actively use cloud features.
- Cloud Retouching & Intelligent Processing Data: When you actively use cloud retouching or intelligent processing, selected photos, text prompts, and related task information are uploaded to servers to analyze the image and generate or apply explainable editing parameters. After processing, data is stored only as needed for the service or deleted, and is never used for advertising or marketing.
- Purchase & Subscription Information: When you purchase, restore, or manage a LeanCam Pro subscription through the Apple App Store, we process product IDs, transaction identifiers, subscription status, expiration time, renewal status, and quota information to enable entitlements, restore purchases, handle refunds, or sync subscription status. We do not receive your card number, Apple ID password, or other payment credentials.
- Capture Stats & Quota Information: After login, to show capture statistics, sync cloud retouching quota, and maintain service stability, we may sync daily aggregated local shutter counts, timezone, quota usage, and service status. These statistics do not include photo content.
3. Permissions
LeanCam may request the following permissions:
- Camera: To preview and capture photos.
- Photo Library: To save captures to your library and read selected photos for editing or cloud retouching.
- Network: For account login, device security checks, subscription status sync, cloud sync, and cloud retouching data transfer.
- Location (Optional): Used only on-device to write location into local photo EXIF metadata, and not for profiling or ad tracking.
4. Data Usage & Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data is used only to:
- Provide and maintain services (e.g., account login, cloud sync, subscription entitlements, capture stats, and cloud retouching).
- Protect service security and stability.
We do not use advertising identifiers, cross-app tracking, or use your photos, subscription, or usage data for advertising.
Third-Party Services: To provide object storage, cloud retouching, in-app purchases, and login, some encrypted data may be processed by trusted cloud providers or platforms such as Apple. We share only what is necessary and require them to comply with confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Metadata Handling: When you actively use cloud retouching or intelligent processing, EXIF/GPS metadata is removed where practical before upload. Only image content required to provide the service is transmitted.
5. Account Deletion
You can request account deletion in the App under Settings > Account > Delete Account. After deletion, we will remove account-related personal data and cloud configurations from our servers, and it cannot be recovered. Records that must be retained for subscriptions, refunds, disputes, security audits, or legal compliance will be kept only for the necessary period.
