Privacy Policy

Who we are

Chrono Film is an iPhone camera app for Bayer RAW and ProRAW capture, cinematic film looks, manual controls, and video. Premium is sold in the app through Apple. The bundle identifier is com.chronocam.rawcamera.

The developer is PE Vitaliy Shutenko. The website is https://waytrel.studio/. This policy applies to the Chrono Film app and to this page only. Other pages on the studio site, including the inquiry form, are described at waytrel.studio/en/privacy/.

Information we collect

Photos, video, and settings stay on the iPhone. We do not receive them in ordinary use.

• Photos and video you capture, including RAW and ProRAW.
• DNG and RAW files you import, and JPEG, HEIC, DNG, or video you export, including an optional copy in the system Photos app.
• App settings, and GPS metadata inside an export only when you choose to keep it.

We may receive the following, and only in these cases:

• If you email us: your address, your message, and any attachment.
• If you buy Premium: limited purchase information from Apple, such as whether a subscription is active and a transaction identifier. We do not receive your full card number.
• If someone opens this page: a standard host log (IP address, date and time, and the address requested), used to deliver and protect the page.

We do not collect an account, password, social login, contacts, or calendar data. We do not receive your card number, expiry date, or Apple’s billing details. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or crash reporting, and we do not keep your library on a server or sync it to the cloud. We do not sell personal data. If any of that changes, this policy will be updated first.

How we use information

On-device data is used to shoot, apply film looks, run manual controls, show the horizon level, import DNG or RAW, and export. Email is used to answer you, including an access or deletion request. Purchase status from Apple only turns Premium on or off. Host logs for this page are used to serve it and to investigate abuse, not for advertising.

Permissions

iOS asks first. You can refuse or change the choice later in Settings. A refusal limits only the feature that needs that permission.

Camera

Captures photos and video while Chrono Film is open. It is not used when the app is closed.

Microphone

Records audio during video recording. It is not used for a still photo and it does not listen in the background.

Photo Library

Read access imports DNG and RAW. Write access saves JPEG, HEIC, DNG, or video, and can auto-export to the system Photos app if you turn that on. The files stay on the device.

Motion

Draws a live horizon-level overlay. The reading is used at that moment. It is not sent to us and it is not stored as a movement history.

Location

Allows an export to keep GPS metadata when you have turned that option on. You can deny it and keep shooting. See the next section.

On-device processing and storage

Photos, video, and settings are processed and stored on your iPhone by default. Looks, manual controls, and export run locally. There is no Chrono Film account and no cloud library that we operate.

Deleting a shot, an export, or the app removes that copy. iOS may keep an item in Recently Deleted until you empty it.

Location and GPS metadata

We do not keep a location history on our servers. GPS is written into an export only if you enable “Preserve GPS Location Metadata”. If that option is off, Chrono Film strips GPS from the file. Leave it off when you do not want coordinates in files you save or share.

An iOS location prompt is for that export choice only. Location is not used for advertising or analytics.

Purchases and Apple

Premium is an in-app subscription sold by Apple through StoreKit 2. Apple handles the charge, including Apple Pay when you use it. We do not receive or store your full payment card number.

Apple may tell the app whether Premium is active, for example with a product identifier and a transaction identifier. Apple’s handling of your Apple ID and payment data is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy. You manage or cancel the subscription in Apple ID settings. Refunds are handled by Apple.

Third-party services and links

Chrono Film does not include third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, cloud-sync, or social-login SDKs.

Apple provides iOS, the App Store, StoreKit, and the system frameworks for the camera, photo library, motion, and purchases. Those are covered by Apple’s terms and privacy policy.

Sharing is started by you through the iOS share sheet. A messenger, social app, Mail, Files, or any other app you pick receives the file and applies its own policy. We do not control that app. This page does not load analytics or advertising scripts.

Data retention

Photos, video, and settings remain on your iPhone until you delete them or delete the app. Exports saved to Photos, Files, or another app remain until you delete them.

Email is kept long enough to handle the request and for any period the law requires a record. It is not kept for marketing. Apple keeps purchase records under its own rules. We keep only what the app needs to know whether Premium is active.

Host logs for this page are kept for 365 days, then removed or reduced by the host. They are not used to build an advertising profile.

Children’s privacy

Chrono Film is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Where a higher age applies, including under 16 in parts of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the app is not directed to those children either.

The app does not offer account registration. If you believe a child has emailed us personal information, write to [email protected] and we will delete that message.

Your rights

Where the law gives you the right, you can ask to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold, restrict a use, or withdraw consent. We hold email you sent and limited purchase status from Apple. Shots that never left the phone are deleted on the device.

Leave “Preserve GPS Location Metadata” off to keep GPS out of exports. You can also turn camera, microphone, photos, motion, or location off in iOS Settings, and cancel Premium in your Apple ID.

Email [email protected] with the subject “Chrono Film privacy”. We will reply within the time the applicable law requires. You may also complain to your local authority. In Ukraine that is the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.

International users

The developer is established in Ukraine, and this policy is governed by the law of Ukraine. Photos and settings stay on your device. Email you send is read and stored in Ukraine. Apple may process purchase information in other countries under its own terms. Mandatory privacy rights in your country still apply.

Changes to this policy

Changes will be posted on this page, and the date at the top will be updated. If a change is material and the law requires notice in the app, we will give that notice.
