Temporary Camera Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 30, 2026

Temporary Camera is an Android app for taking photos that expire. This policy describes what the app handles and how that information is used.

Information handled by the app

When you grant camera permission and take a photo, the app stores the JPEG image and its expiry time on your device, in app-private storage and a local database. The app does not require an account and does not collect or send this information to a server. The app does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

The app requests camera permission to show the viewfinder and capture photos. It does not request access to your contacts, location, or shared photo storage.

Retention and deletion

Photos remain in the app until you delete them or their selected expiry time is reached. The app removes expired photos when it next checks for expiry, so cleanup may be delayed if the app is not run at that time. Uninstalling the app removes its app-private data through Android.

Sharing

If you choose Share, Android presents available apps and services. The receiving app you select can access the photo and may copy, retain, or further share it under its own privacy practices. Temporary Camera does not control those copies or the recipient's handling of them. Sharing does not extend the photo's expiry in Temporary Camera.

Storage security

Photos are kept in Android app-private storage and are not added to the device's shared photo gallery by the app. The app does not provide cloud sync. No storage method can guarantee protection against access to a compromised or rooted device.

Changes to this policy

If the app's data practices change, this policy will be updated. The date above indicates when it was last revised.
