Privacy Policy

Effective September 17, 2026

Short version: Session Cam doesn't collect any information about you. Your videos stay on your iPhone unless you choose to share them.

What we collect

Nothing. Session Cam has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. The app doesn't send any data to us. The only time it goes online is to look up a place name for a session with Apple Maps (see Location below), or when you tap a link that opens a web page in your browser.

Camera and microphone

Session Cam uses the camera to record your session and detect motion, and the microphone to record sound with your attempts. Motion detection happens entirely on your iPhone. Only the attempts are saved; everything else is discarded as you record.

Your videos

Recorded attempts are stored inside the app on your iPhone. You can delete a session, or several at once, at any time. Deleting the app deletes everything it has stored.

If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, that backup may include the app's data, according to your device's backup settings. That is handled by Apple and your device, not by Session Cam.

Beta testing

While Session Cam is in beta, it is installed through Apple's TestFlight. Apple may send us crash reports from beta builds, and anything you choose to send with Share Beta Feedback — which includes the screenshot you send, your device model and your iOS version. That goes through Apple, under Apple's TestFlight terms, and it is the only thing about a beta that differs from the above.

Photos

When you import a video, iOS shows its photo picker and Session Cam can only see the videos you select. When you save a video to Photos, the app asks only for permission to add to your library, not to read it.

Apple Watch

If you use the Apple Watch app, the attempt count, lap times and recording controls pass between your iPhone and your watch over the connection the two devices already have with each other. Nothing goes through a server, and nothing is stored on the watch beyond what it is showing you.

Sharing

When you share a video, it goes wherever you choose through the iOS share sheet (for example Messages, Strava, or AirDrop). What happens to it there is covered by that app's or service's own privacy policy. Videos you share may include information such as the recording date, if you turned on the date overlay in Settings.

Location

Session Cam can name your sessions by where you recorded them, like a bike park or town. If you allow it, the app gets your approximate location once when you start recording, only while you're using the app. For imported videos it uses the location already stored in the video, if any.

To turn a location into a name, the app sends the coordinates to Apple Maps (Apple's handling is covered by Apple's privacy policy). The location and place name are stored with the session on your iPhone and are not sent to us. You can turn this off in Settings › Apps › Session Cam › Name Sessions by Place, or deny location access; sessions then simply have no place name.

Children

Session Cam doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
