IP Camera Viewer & Monitor — Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy covers IP Camera Viewer & Monitor, which is available as an Android app on Google Play (package com.patzerllc.IPCamera) and as an iOS app for iPhone and iPad on the Apple App Store under the same name (together, “the App”). Both are developed and published by Mobile Card Games & Travel Apps, LLC. It explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected. Where the Android and iOS versions differ, the difference is stated.

1. Data We Collect

IP Camera Viewer & Monitor is built around a local-only architecture: your cameras, your network, no cloud. The App connects directly from your device to your own IP cameras and NVRs over your local network using RTSP and ONVIF. We do not operate any server that receives your video, your snapshots, or your camera details.

• Camera configurations: The names, IP addresses, and settings of the cameras you add. These are stored on your device. If you have your device's own backup turned on (iCloud Backup on iOS, Google backup on Android), they can be included in that backup, which Apple or Google stores for you; we never receive it. On Android, snapshots and recordings saved in the App can be included in Google's backup as well.
• Camera usernames and passwords: If your camera requires a login, the credentials you enter never leave your device through any part of the App. On iOS they are stored in the Keychain with this-device-only protection, so they are never included in backups that move to other devices. On Android they are encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore, which never leaves your device's secure hardware, so they cannot be read from a backup or on another device. The one exception is a support email you choose to send from the Android App: its diagnostics include each camera's username, never its password (see Support Emails and Diagnostics).
• Snapshots and recordings: Still images and recordings you choose to capture from a stream are saved locally in the App, and to your photo library or gallery only if you save or share them there.
• Purchase information: Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play); the App never sees your payment card details.
• Install attribution (Android): Once after install, the Android App reads the Google Play Install Referrer — the referral tag (such as a campaign or source name) of the link that led to the install, if there was one; organic Play installs are recorded as such — and stores it with your anonymous RevenueCat ID, so we can measure which links and campaigns lead to purchases. It contains no personal information.

The App does not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, or advertising identifiers, and it contains no analytics and no ads.

2. How We Use Your Data

Everything the App does with your data happens on your device and your local network:

• Camera credentials are used solely to authenticate directly with your own cameras.
• Video and audio streams travel directly between your device and your camera over your local network. They are never routed through, or recorded on, any server we operate.
• On iOS, two-way audio (for cameras that support it) uses your microphone only while you hold the talk button, and the audio goes directly to your camera. The Android App does not use the microphone.
• QR codes containing camera addresses (such as rtsp:// URLs) can be scanned so you can add a camera without typing. On iOS this uses the camera permission. On Android the scan is done by Google Play services' code scanner, which hands only the scanned text to the App; the App itself does not request the camera permission.
• The App may suggest our other apps. Tapping a suggestion opens the App Store or Google Play with a campaign tag that names which of our apps made the suggestion, so the store's reports can count installs by source. No personal data is attached. On Android, the App may also show one such suggestion automatically, as a Google Play install sheet. For this, the Android App downloads a small configuration file from mobilegames.cloud, our own website, to decide which of our other apps to suggest. The request contains no personal data; like any web request, it exposes your device's IP address and a standard user-agent string (Android version and device model) to the hosting provider, and we do not use it to identify you.
• On Android, Google Play may also offer App updates through an in-app update prompt and show its in-app review prompt; Google handles these under its own privacy policy.

3. Biometric App Lock

You can optionally lock the App with Face ID or Touch ID on iOS, or with your fingerprint, face unlock, or screen lock on Android, to keep your camera streams private. This uses the operating system's on-device biometric authentication only. The App never sees, stores, or transmits your biometric data — the system simply tells the App whether authentication succeeded.

4. Third-Party Data Sharing

On iOS, the App shares data with exactly one third party, RevenueCat. The Android App also involves Google Play and our website:

• RevenueCat (revenuecat.com): Manages subscription purchases. RevenueCat receives purchase and transaction data from Apple or Google along with a random anonymous app-user ID — never your name, email, camera details, or video. On Android it also receives the install referrer described above.
• Google Play (Android; Google privacy policy): Processes purchases through Google Play Billing and delivers the update, review, and install prompts described above. Google Play services also runs the QR code scanner, which hands only the scanned text to the App.
• Our website (Android): The configuration download described above.

Your video streams, snapshots, and camera credentials are never shared with anyone. We do not sell, rent, or share your data.

5. Support Emails and Diagnostics

If you contact us through the in-app feedback form, the App can optionally attach basic connection diagnostics (such as whether your router and cameras were reachable, and the App's local-network permission status) to help us troubleshoot. This happens only when you choose to send a support email, the information is visible to you in the email before you send it, and it is never collected silently in the background.

On Android, the diagnostics are switched on in the form by default and you can turn them off. They include the App and Android versions, your device model, your Pro status, your network type, the results of your last camera scan and recent connection tests, and, for each saved camera, its name, type, manufacturer, address, port, stream details, login username, and recent errors. Camera addresses are shown with any password removed, and passwords are never included. The App opens your email app with this text; nothing is sent until you send the email.

6. Data Storage and Retention

• On your device: Camera configurations, groups, and snapshots are stored locally in the App. Credentials live in the iOS Keychain or, on Android, are encrypted with an Android Keystore key. Deleting a camera or snapshot in the App removes it; uninstalling the App removes all of its data, including stored credentials.
• On our servers: None. We do not operate servers that store any of your data.
• Export files: If you use the export feature, the App can create an encrypted export file on your device that you move manually. It is not uploaded anywhere by the App.

7. Data Security

Camera credentials are protected by the iOS Keychain with this-device-only accessibility, or on Android by AES-GCM encryption with a non-exportable Android Keystore key. Because many IP cameras only speak unencrypted RTSP/HTTP on the local network, the App permits unencrypted connections to devices on your own LAN — this traffic never leaves your network. Communication with RevenueCat and, on Android, with Google Play and our website uses encrypted HTTPS.

8. Your Rights

You can:

• Delete any camera, group, or snapshot in the App at any time.
• Remove all App data, including stored credentials, by uninstalling the App.
• Manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in your Apple ID settings (iOS) or in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions (Android).
• Deny the camera, microphone, photo-library, or local-network permissions in iOS Settings, or the App's permissions in Android Settings; the App will still work except for the features those permissions enable.

Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) give you rights over your personal data, including the rights to know, access, correct, and delete it. Because we do not hold your data on servers we operate, there is typically nothing for us to access or delete on request — deleting the App deletes your data. Where the App does process data in transit, or a third-party service described above collects data, you may contact us at the email below to exercise your rights, and we will respond as required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. In some regions, including the European Union, a higher minimum age applies to consent for data processing; the same statement applies there — we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the applicable age.

10. Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting user data on any system we operate, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
