This Privacy Policy applies to the Open 360 Camera mobile application (the "Application") developed and operated by Navendu's Lab (the "Service Provider"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through transparent practices.

 

1. Summary & Core Principle: 100% Offline & Private

Open 360 Camera is engineered with a local-first, privacy-by-design architecture:

  • The Application does not require and does not request Internet access (android.permission.INTERNET).
  • All image capturing, sensor processing, 360° spherical stitching, video rendering, and viewing are performed exclusively on your device.
  • We do not collect, transmit, store on external servers, monetize, or sell your personal information, photographs, location data, or device identifiers.

 

2. Information Collection and Device Permissions

To deliver 360° photography and video creation features, the Application requests minimal local device permissions:

a. Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA)

  • Use: Allows the camera sensor to provide a live viewfinder preview and capture high-resolution photos for stitching into spherical panoramas.
  • Handling: Camera data is processed strictly in temporary device memory (RAM) and stored to your local storage. No camera feeds or captured images are ever transmitted off your device.

b. Location Permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) (Optional)

  • Use: If granted, the Application uses your device's GPS solely to write geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) into the standard EXIF metadata of the photos you take.
  • Handling: Location data is embedded only inside the image file on your local device. We never transmit, log, track, or share your location with any server or third party. You can decline this permission at any time and the camera will still function normally without geotagging.

c. Motion Sensors (Gyroscope & Accelerometer)

  • Use: Used in real time for camera orientation, guided reticle alignment dots during 360° capture rounds, and gyro navigation in the interactive 360° sphere viewer.
  • Handling: Sensor information is processed locally in real time and is never stored permanently or shared.

d. Storage & Media Access

  • Use: Required to save your stitched 360° panoramas and exported 9:16 videos directly to your device's media storage (Pictures / Movies).
  • Handling: Files remain under your complete control in your device's local gallery.

 

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Application does not use cookies, tracking pixels, device fingerprinting, or web beacons. Because the Application operates completely offline without network capabilities, no digital tracking technologies are deployed.

 

4. Third-Party Services & SDKs

  • No Analytics SDKs: The Application does not contain third-party behavioral analytics or telemetry SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, Adjust, or AppsFlyer).
  • No Advertising Networks: The Application does not include advertisements or ad-tracking networks (such as Google AdMob or Unity Ads).
  • Platform Services: The Application is distributed via the Google Play Store, which is operated by Google LLC. Google Play Services may collect standard OS-level download and crash telemetry as governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

 

5. Third-Party Access & Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or transfer your personal data or captured media to outside parties.

We may disclose information only if strictly required:

  • By Law: To comply with a valid subpoena, court order, or applicable legal obligation;
  • Safety & Protection: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, your safety, or the safety of others;
  • However, because we do not collect or store your photos or personal data on any server, we do not possess your content to share or disclose.

 

6. International Data Transfers

Because all data processing occurs locally on your personal device without server uploads, the Service Provider does not transfer your personal data across international borders.

 

7. Data Retention and Deletion Policy

  • On-Device Data: All photos, stitched spheres, raw camera frames (if enabled), and exported videos remain stored locally on your device storage for as long as you choose to keep them.
  • User Deletion: You have full ownership and can delete your media at any time using your device gallery, file manager, or from within the Application.
  • Uninstalling: Uninstalling the Application removes its internal application cache and local app data.

 

8. Your Rights (GDPR & Global Privacy Laws)

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area / UK under the GDPR), you have specific statutory rights regarding personal data:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to know what personal data is processed (as described, no personal data is collected on remote servers).
  • Right to Erasure / Deletion: You can erase all data at any time by deleting photos from your device or uninstalling the Application.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw Camera or Location permissions at any time via your Android device's Settings > Apps > Open 360 Camera > Permissions.
  • To submit any privacy inquiries, you may contact the Service Provider at 

startupedu01@gmail.com.

 

9. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request disclosure of what categories of personal information are collected.
  • No Sale or Sharing: We do not sell and do not share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
  • Requests: You may contact us at 

startupedu01@gmail.com for any inquiries under California privacy law.

 

10. Children’s Privacy

The Application is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or under 16 where required by applicable local law). Because the Application does not collect or transmit personal information, we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian has questions regarding privacy practices, please contact us at 

startupedu01@gmail.com.

 

11. Security Safeguards

We care deeply about the security of your content. Because the Application operates completely on-device without cloud sync or network connections, your images and videos are shielded from external web vulnerabilities, transmission interception, and remote server breaches. We advise users to maintain device-level security (screen locks, biometric authentication, and up-to-date OS security patches) to protect data saved locally.

 

12. Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of any security incident within our direct systems or services that impacts personal data under our control, we will promptly notify affected users and regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

 

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
