Privacy policy: Manual Pro Camera
Publisher: Digital Shijil LLC ("Digital Shijil", "we"). App: Manual Pro Camera, package com.digitalshijil.manualcamera. Contact: contact@digitalshijil.com. Effective 6 November 2026.
The short version
Manual Pro Camera does not collect, send or share your personal data. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no crash-reporting service, and it never asks for your location. The photos and videos you take are saved to your phone's gallery.
What the app does with your phone
- Camera and microphone. The camera permission is used to show the viewfinder and take pictures. The microphone permission is asked only when you start recording a video with sound. Nothing is recorded in the background. Frames are processed on the phone for the histogram, zebra and focus peaking and are not stored or sent anywhere.
- Photos and videos. Each picture or clip is written to your gallery (Pictures and Movies) through Android's MediaStore. On Android 9 and older the app also asks for the storage permission, because those versions require it to save to the gallery. We never read other files in your gallery.
- The roll. For each shot the app keeps a small record on the phone: the file's address, the time, and the ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus used. It is stored in the app's private database and is never uploaded.
- Settings. Your choices (grid, zebra level, theme, lens, Pro tools on or off) are stored in the app's private storage.
Your data, your control
- Export all my data saves the roll as a CSV file to a place you choose.
- Back up to a file writes the app's data to a file you choose, and restores from one.
- Delete all data erases the roll and the settings the app keeps and starts the app fresh. Photos and videos already in your gallery stay where they are; delete them in your gallery app. Uninstalling the app also removes its private data.
- Android's own device backup may include the app's roll and settings in your Google backup, under your Google account's rules. The cached purchase hint is excluded from backups.
Purchases (Google Play)
Pro is bought through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment and tells the app whether Pro is active. We do not see or store your payment details, name or email. The app shows the prices Google Play returns for your country. Subscriptions are managed in Google Play (Settings has a Manage subscription link). The app may show Google's in-app review prompt after you have used it a while; Google decides whether it appears, and we receive no reply other than that it was shown.
Network use
The app has no server of its own and sends nothing to us. The Internet permission is there because the Google Play Billing and In-App Review libraries need it to talk to Google Play. Those libraries are governed by Google's privacy policy.
What we do not do
No advertising, no advertising ID, no analytics, no crash reporting, no location, no contacts, no sale or sharing of data, no profiling.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new text will be published at the same address with a new effective date, and the app's data behaviour will match it before the change takes effect.
