Life Reel is a personal memory app that helps you turn the photos and videos already stored on your iPhone into short video moments, trip recaps, and highlights. This Privacy Policy explains how ULADZISLAU ZINCHANKA ("we," "us," or "our") handles your information when you use the App.
By installing or using Life Reel, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Life Reel is operated by ULADZISLAU ZINCHANKA, an individual entrepreneur registered in Poland. We are the "data controller" of your personal data under EU/UK GDPR and Swiss FADP, and the "business" (under California CCPA/CPRA) or "controller" (under other U.S. state privacy laws) responsible for your information.
Contact: dev.ohmyapp@gmail.com — single point of contact for all privacy questions, consumer-rights requests, complaints, and authorized-agent inquiries.
The following information is created and stored locally on your iPhone and is not transmitted to our servers:
This local data remains on your iPhone until you delete it inside the App or uninstall the App. We do not receive or access it.
Life Reel uses location data only as it is already embedded in your own photos and videos (EXIF / asset metadata) to:
To convert GPS coordinates into a human-readable place name, the App uses Apple's built-in geocoder (CLGeocoder, via Apple system services). The App does not send your GPS coordinates to any third-party server.
Life Reel does not track your live location. The App does not request "Always" or background location, does not run in the background to collect location, and does not transmit coordinates to our servers. It reads only the location your camera already saved with each photo or video.
Legal basis (GDPR/UK GDPR): Art. 6(1)(b) performance of a contract.
If you purchase a subscription or one-time premium upgrade, we receive, via RevenueCat, Inc.:
We do not collect or store payment-card information. All payment processing is handled by the Apple App Store under its own terms and privacy policy.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) performance of a contract; Art. 6(1)(c) compliance with tax/accounting obligations.
To improve the App, diagnose crashes, and test paywall and feature variants, the App emits:
Usage events are sent to Mixpanel, Inc.; crash reports are sent to Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC); feature flags are delivered by Firebase Remote Config. None of these systems receive your photos, videos, captions, location coordinates, account email, or contact details. Events are keyed to a pseudonymous install identifier, not your real identity.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the Service. Where required by EU ePrivacy rules, we obtain consent before activating non-essential analytics.
When the App communicates with our service providers, the following technical information is necessarily transmitted:
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest in service operation, security, and debugging.
With your permission, the App may schedule local notifications (delivered by iOS) to remind you to capture a moment or to let you know that a recap is ready. Reminder schedules are stored locally. Life Reel does not send remote push notifications — the push entitlement is intentionally disabled in the build, and no APNs token is registered with our servers.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) consent (iOS permission you grant).
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, message body, and any attachments. We use them solely to respond to you.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest in support; Art. 6(1)(b) performance of a contract.
We expressly confirm that the App does not:
Life Reel relies on the following service providers. Each acts as a processor under written data-processing terms. Your use of the App is also subject to their own privacy policies.
| Provider | Role | Data Transferred | Location | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Inc. (App Store, StoreKit, APNs, CLGeocoder) | App distribution, in-app purchase processing, local-notification delivery, place-name lookups | Purchase information; device token used for local-notification scheduling; lat/lon submitted to system geocoder | USA / global | apple.com/legal/privacy |
| Google LLC — Firebase (Crashlytics, Remote Config) | Crash reporting; remote feature-flag delivery | Crash logs, device info, anonymized identifiers, remote-config assignment | USA / global | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| RevenueCat, Inc. | Subscription management, entitlement delivery, restore-purchases handling, paywall experiment assignment | Pseudonymous app user ID, platform purchase receipts, subscription status, transaction history, country/region of purchase | USA | revenuecat.com/privacy |
| Mixpanel, Inc. | Product analytics | App usage events, anonymized counters, device/OS info, pseudonymous install identifier, locale | USA | mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy |
We disclose personal data only in the limited circumstances below:
What we never share with third parties: the contents of your photos, videos, captions, notes, GPS coordinates from your media, or your in-app usage of content tools.
Life Reel is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the applicable age of digital consent — 13 in the U.S. under COPPA (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.); 16 by default under GDPR Art. 8 (lowered to 13 in some EU Member States including Poland); 13 in the UK. To purchase a subscription you must be at least 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) or have a parent/guardian's consent.
You — the user — are solely responsible for ensuring you have all rights to include other people (including children) in the photos and videos you organize, export, or share through Life Reel. If you believe a child's data has been inadvertently collected by us, contact dev.ohmyapp@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.
| Category | Retention |
|---|---|
| On-device data (photos, Moments, settings) | For as long as the App is installed. Uninstall removes app-managed local data. |
| Email correspondence with support | As long as needed to handle your inquiry, plus a reasonable period afterward (typically up to 3 years). |
| Subscription / transaction records | For the subscription duration and afterward as required by law (typically up to 7–10 years for tax purposes). |
| Usage analytics (Mixpanel) | Up to 24 months keyed to your pseudonymous install ID, then de-identified or deleted. |
| Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) | Up to 90 days for individual events; aggregated data may be retained longer. |
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data:
No security measure is 100% effective. Because most of your data lives on your iPhone, protect it with a passcode, Face ID/Touch ID, and the latest iOS updates.
If we discover a personal data breach likely to result in risk to your rights, we will notify the Polish UODO (or another competent EU supervisory authority) without undue delay and where feasible within 72 hours (GDPR Art. 33), and notify you directly where the risk is high. We will comply with U.S. state breach-notification laws in the same manner. To report a suspected breach, contact dev.ohmyapp@gmail.com.
We are established in Poland (European Union). Several of our service providers operate in or transfer data to the United States. For transfers out of the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by law, including:
You may request a copy of the safeguards by contacting us.
You can exercise the following controls without contacting us:
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, you have the rights of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), objection (Art. 21), not to be subject to automated decisions with legal effect (Art. 22) — which we do not perform — withdrawal of consent (Art. 7), and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77).
Our lead supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, uodo.gov.pl. You may also complain to your local supervisory authority — for UK users, the ICO (ico.org.uk); for Swiss users, the FDPIC (edoeb.admin.ch).
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kentucky, Rhode Island, or Nevada, you have rights to know / access, delete, correct, port, and (where applicable) appeal denials of requests. You also have the right to opt out of sale, "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, and targeted-advertising profiling — none of which apply to our processing, because we do not engage in those activities.
We recognize universal opt-out signals (e.g. Global Privacy Control) to the extent legally required; because we do not engage in sale or targeted advertising, there is no relevant processing to opt out of. California minors: we do not knowingly collect or "share" personal information of California residents under 16 without affirmative authorization (opt-in), and for those under 13 we comply with COPPA. California's "Shine the Light" law (Civ. Code § 1798.83) — we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct-marketing purposes.
Email dev.ohmyapp@gmail.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (typically 30 days for EU/UK/Swiss requests; up to 45 days for U.S. state-law requests), extendable as permitted by law. We may need information to reasonably authenticate you (typically the email used to contact support).
Users in other jurisdictions with comparable laws (Brazil LGPD, Canada PIPEDA / Quebec Law 25, Australia Privacy Act, Japan APPI, South Korea PIPA, etc.) have similar rights — same contact email.
Life Reel is a native iOS app and does not deploy browser cookies. Standard mobile-SDK identifiers used by analytics and crash reporting are described in Sections 2.4–2.5. The App does not engage in "tracking" as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework and does not present an ATT prompt. We do not currently operate a public website; if we do in the future, any cookies used there will be disclosed separately.
We do not send marketing emails unless you have given prior consent (for example, by signing up to a newsletter). You may withdraw consent at any time by replying "unsubscribe" or contacting us. We may always send service-related messages (e.g. a reply to a support ticket, or a notice of material changes to this Policy).
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, where required by law, provide additional notice (for example, an in-app banner the first time you launch the App after the change). Your continued use of the App after the new Policy takes effect constitutes acceptance, to the extent permitted by law.
