This Privacy Policy applies specifically to SafetyCam, a mobile application developed and published by Orixa Studio ("we", "our", or "us"). It describes what SafetyCam stores on your device, what data its analytics, advertising, and purchase services process, and the choices available to you.
SafetyCam is a personal-safety recording app. Its core function is designed to work without an Orixa Studio account and without uploading your recordings to us.
This policy covers the SafetyCam app only. For our website, other Orixa Studio products, and general business practices, see the Orixa Studio Privacy Policy.
SafetyCam stores the following content locally on your device only:
Recordings are encrypted with Android Keystore-backed AES-GCM in the app's private vault or a supported on-device destination you select. They are not automatically uploaded to Orixa Studio, Firebase, Google, or any other cloud service. We cannot see or retrieve them.
Opening a recording for playback creates a temporary decrypted cache copy that SafetyCam removes on its next startup. When you choose Download, SafetyCam creates a separate decrypted copy in your device's Movies, Music, or Pictures collection, depending on the recording type. The encrypted original remains in the vault. Deleting the original later does not delete a copy you saved to the gallery.
If you explicitly share or export a recording to another app or person, that copy leaves SafetyCam's vault and is then governed by the recipient's practices. SafetyCam does not initiate that transfer automatically.
SafetyCam uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand general app usage and improve features. Firebase Analytics may collect:
Analytics events describe that a feature was used, not the contents of what you recorded.
SafetyCam uses Google Firebase Crashlytics to identify crashes, application-not-responding (ANR) events, and stability problems. Crashlytics may collect:
Crash reports describe the technical failure so we can fix it. They do not include your recordings or vault contents.
SafetyCam does not send any of the following to Firebase, Google, Orixa Studio, or any other third party:
We do not sell recordings or accessibility input. Google Mobile Ads handles limited device and app data for advertising as described below.
Firebase diagnostic and analytics information described above is used to:
Advertising and purchase-related data are described separately below. SafetyCam does not supply recording contents, saved location, or accessibility input to those services.
SafetyCam declares the following permissions and system access in its Android manifest. Each is used only for the purpose stated below:
On Android 9 and earlier, Download may request the legacy storage permission after an in-app disclosure. The manifest limits that permission to Android 9 and earlier. Android 10 and later do not require broad storage permission for the app-created gallery copy. Vault files remain encrypted in app-controlled storage. Sharing a selected file can grant the receiving app temporary access to that file.
Depending on your Android version, sensitive permissions and special access require your approval. You may revoke them at any time in device settings. Revoking access disables the feature that depends on it but does not delete content already saved to your vault.
After a separate in-app disclosure and your affirmative choice, the optional AccessibilityService can use your selected trigger: Volume Down double-press or triple-press timing, a firm shake detected by the accelerometer, or the Android Accessibility button. It can start or stop recording when SafetyCam is not in the foreground. Start paths that need a disclosure or permission pass through the app.
Volume events are not consumed. Key timing and motion-trigger data are processed briefly in memory on your device; they are not logged, stored, shared, or sent to analytics or advertising services. The service does not retrieve screen content, observe other keys, or perform gestures. You can disable it in Android settings at any time.
SafetyCam uses Google Mobile Ads for fixed bottom banners on Home, Gallery, Settings, and Help & FAQ. After an eligible Capture or Display setting is saved, a cached full-screen ad may appear at most once during that Settings visit, subject to the app's frequency limits. Opening a Gallery recording or choosing Download, including Download from the player, attempts a full-screen ad before opening the player or saving the copy. A cache miss starts a cancelable load of up to 15 seconds. The action continues after the ad closes or after a confirmed ad load/show error or timeout, with an explanation. Closing a Download ad keeps the current screen. Protected Gallery content requires fresh unlock after the ad; media and authorization are cleared during that handoff. Ads do not appear during recording, stopping, securing, setup, permission, emergency-trigger, legal, privacy, or confirmation flows. Advertising never gates recording or another safety action.
Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform presents an advertising consent choice before ad requests. An in-app Ad privacy choices entry is available when required. Google Mobile Ads may collect or share IP address, app interactions, diagnostics, and device or account identifiers, including the Android advertising ID when available, for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Its handling depends on applicable consent choices and Google's terms. SafetyCam does not provide recordings, vault metadata, precise recording locations, or accessibility input to the ad SDK.
Premium removes ads. Ad requests are suppressed while purchase status is being checked and while Premium is active.
SafetyCam offers optional Weekly, Monthly and Yearly subscriptions through Google Play. Only Yearly may offer an eligible seven-day trial; Weekly and Monthly have no trial. Lifetime is no longer offered and Lifetime purchases, including previous purchases, no longer grant Premium. An active recognized subscription with the Premium entitlement removes advertising. Localized prices, renewal terms and eligibility are shown in Google Play. Recording, the encrypted vault, playback and emergency features remain available without payment.
RevenueCat processes purchase status using an automatically generated anonymous app-user identifier, Google Play product and transaction information, subscription and entitlement status, and purchase or restore diagnostics. SafetyCam uses that status to determine whether Premium is active and to provide restore and Customer Center features. Google Play processes payment details; SafetyCam does not receive your full payment-card information. Neither RevenueCat nor Google Play receives recording contents, vault files, encryption keys, saved incident location, or accessibility input from SafetyCam.
Clearing app data or uninstalling SafetyCam does not cancel a subscription or erase a Google Play purchase. You can restore purchases in SafetyCam and manage or cancel a subscription through Customer Center or Google Play. RevenueCat and Google Play retain purchase records according to their own service, legal, fraud-prevention, and accounting requirements.
Device-level protections matter too: keeping a screen lock enabled and keeping your operating system up to date meaningfully protects your vault. No application or system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Uninstalling or clearing app data removes local app storage, but may not remove encrypted files you placed in another on-device destination or gallery copies you explicitly saved. It does not cancel a Google Play subscription. Please export anything you need to keep before deleting the vault, because we cannot recover it.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the DPDP Act, including the right to object to or restrict processing. Contact us at the address above and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.
These are the principal categories of data SafetyCam and its integrated services may process. The Google Play Data safety section provides the current declaration for the version distributed through Play.
SafetyCam does not sell recording or accessibility data. Advertising and purchase services process the limited data described in Sections 9 and 10.
SafetyCam is designed for users aged 13 and older and is not directed to, or intended for use by, individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Users aged 13 to 17 should use SafetyCam with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law. If you believe a child under 13 has used SafetyCam and that diagnostic data was collected, contact us at support@orixastudio.com and we will delete the applicable records.
See also our Child Safety and CSAE Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to SafetyCam, to the third-party services it uses, or to our legal obligations. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes affecting how data is collected or used will also be reflected in the app's Google Play Data Safety declaration.
Orixa Studio is the data controller for SafetyCam.
