Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Summary: VILM does not collect personal data. Your photos and videos stay on your device. We do not track you, we do not sell data, and we do not use third-party analytics.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information unless you explicitly enable certain features:
- Camera & Microphone: Used only to capture photos and videos within the app. Media is processed locally on your device.
- Location Data: Only collected if you manually enable the GPS Location setting in VILM. When enabled, GPS coordinates are embedded into your photo and video metadata locally. We do not transmit this data to any server.
- Photos Library: Used only to save your creations to your device or import existing photos. We do not access your gallery for any other purpose.
2. Photos and Videos
All photos and videos captured with VILM are stored locally on your device and/or in your Photos library based on your settings. We do not upload, access, or share your media. Your creations belong entirely to you.
Exported videos may include standard file metadata (such as creation date and, if enabled by you, GPS location). VILM does not embed any hidden tracking identifier in your exports.
3. On-Device Processing and Machine Learning
VILM uses on-device technologies, including Metal shaders, Core Image, Vision, and machine learning frameworks, to apply visual effects to your photos and videos in real time. All processing happens locally on your device.
Some effects may use on-device face detection, scene analysis, or other computer-vision features to enhance filters or overlays. We do not upload your facial geometry, biometric data, or any image or video content to external servers. No face data or visual content is collected, stored, or shared by us.
4. In-App Purchases
VILM Pro subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not store your payment information. All billing and transaction data is handled securely by Apple. For more information, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy.
5. Analytics and Tracking
We do not use third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. We do not monitor your behavior within the app. Your usage of VILM is private.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties. Period.
7. Data Retention
Since we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is no data retention policy beyond what is stored locally on your device. You can delete the app at any time to remove all locally stored data.
8. Children's Privacy
VILM is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under the GDPR (Europe) or CCPA (California), including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since VILM stores minimal data locally, you can exercise these rights by adjusting your app settings or deleting the app.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
