WHY WE REQUEST CAMERA ACCESS
CAMERA COURT requests access to your device's front and back cameras to enable core gameplay features. The cameras are used to:
- Display live camera preview windows during gameplay
- Capture still photos (reaction shots) at specific moments during each round
- Generate shareable "postcard" images that include photos from both cameras
WHAT IS CAPTURED
During gameplay, the App captures still images from your device's cameras. The content of these images is whatever is physically in front of your device's cameras at the time of capture, typically the faces and reactions of players.
Images are captured at defined moments during each game round, including during the defendant's plea and at the moment of verdict reveal.
FACE DATA AND RETENTION
CAMERA COURT DOES NOT USE FACIAL RECOGNITION AND DOES NOT COLLECT BIOMETRIC INFORMATION (SUCH AS FACEPRINTS OR FACE TEMPLATES).
THE APP MAY CAPTURE PHOTOS THAT INCLUDE FACES DURING GAMEPLAY, BUT FACE DATA IS NOT RETAINED BY CAMERA COURT.
PHOTOS ARE ONLY SAVED LOCALLY ON YOUR DEVICE IF YOU CHOOSE TO SAVE THEM (FOR EXAMPLE, BY KEEPING A POSTCARD IN THE IN-APP GALLERY). OTHERWISE, TEMPORARY GAMEPLAY IMAGES ARE DISCARDED AND NOT RETAINED.
WHERE YOUR PHOTOS GO
All photos captured by CAMERA COURT are processed and stored locally on your device. Specifically:
- Photos are stored in the App's local Documents directory on your device
- Photos never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to share them
- Photos are not uploaded to our servers or any third-party servers
- We have no access to your photos
- No automatic cloud backup or transmission occurs
- FACE DATA IS NOT RETAINED BY CAMERA COURT (PHOTOS REMAIN ONLY ON YOUR DEVICE IF YOU CHOOSE TO SAVE THEM)
IF YOU DENY CAMERA PERMISSION
CAMERA COURT is fully playable even if you deny camera access. If camera permission is denied:
- The game continues to function normally
- Camera preview windows display placeholder icons instead of live video
- Generated postcards use placeholder images instead of actual photos
- You can change camera permissions at any time in iOS Settings
SHARING PHOTOS
Photos are only shared externally if you explicitly choose to share them. When you tap the iOS Share button after a round:
- You control where the postcard image is sent (Messages, Instagram, email, etc.)
- Standard iOS sharing mechanisms are used
- We do not track or monitor what you share or where you share it
