Privacy policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Sooc is a camera app. This page explains, in plain words, what the app does with your data. In short: everything stays on your phone unless you decide otherwise, and there is no advertising and no analytics.

What stays on your phone

Sooc works fully offline. Your photos, negatives, rolls, notes and custom films are stored on your device. The app never uploads anything on its own. Photos are only sent if you choose to upload a roll to your cloud account (see below).

The camera permission is used only to show the viewfinder and take pictures. The microphone is never used.

Location (optional, off by default)

If you turn on GEOTAG, the app asks for the location permission and writes the position of each photo in its metadata (EXIF), and may look up the name of the place with your phone’s own geocoder to pre-fill your notebook. The location is only read while the app is open, and nothing is sent to us. Be aware that a photo with a position shares it wherever you share the photo. You can turn GEOTAG off, or remove the permission, at any time.

Maps

The map of a roll shows your geotagged photos on an OpenStreetMap background. To draw it, the app downloads map tiles from OpenStreetMap’s servers: they receive the tiles requested, your IP address and the app name — not your photos and not the exact position of each photo.

Optional cloud backup

If you choose to create an account inside the app, we receive and store:

• your e-mail address, and your password in hashed form only (we can never read it);
• the custom films you choose to back up (their settings and, if any, their .cube LUT file);
• the rolls you choose to upload, one by one: the original negatives, the developed photos, their film settings, and the captions, places and notes you wrote, including the camera, exposure and location details stored in the photos (these photos can contain information such as the date, the phone model and the position if GEOTAG was on);
• technical data needed to run the service (a revocable device token, the date of your last sync, security logs with IP addresses kept for a limited time).

This data is used only to provide the backup and restore feature. We do not sell it or share it with third parties, except the hosting provider that runs our server.

Purchases

Extra roll places are bought through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google: we never see your payment details. We only receive a purchase token that lets us check the purchase and add the places to your account.

Contact form

If you write to us from the contact page, we keep your name (if given), e-mail address and message to answer you, and delete them when they are no longer needed.

Your choices and rights

You can sign out at any time and delete your account and all its data, in the app or from the account deletion page. Deletion removes your account and every film, roll and photo stored on our server. You can also delete a single uploaded roll from the app at any time.

If you live in the European Union, you have the right to access, correct, export and erase your data, and to object to its processing; write to us to use these rights, or to complain to your data-protection authority.

Children

Sooc is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the date above changes, and we will say so in the app’s update notes.
