Support

For help with Bitwave, privacy questions, or questions about these terms, contact Demian Nezhdanov at demian@de-evolution.dev.

If you contact us for support, we may receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, screenshots, or sample media. We use support correspondence only to respond to your request and resolve the issue.

Privacy Policy

bitwave: CREATIVE-TECH CAMERA is a creative photo and video effects app for iOS featuring glitch, ASCII, and computer-vision effects. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app may collect and how it is used. The app does not require you to create an account.

Information We Collect

We do not collect account data, names, email addresses, passwords, contacts, or precise location through the app.

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash diagnostics and app stability information, such as:

• Device type and model
• iOS version
• App version and language settings
• Limited technical state needed to diagnose a crash
• Crash logs and stack traces

This information helps us fix crashes and improve app stability. It is not used for advertising, user tracking, or marketing profiles.

If you make an optional Support Bitwave purchase, purchase and transaction information is processed by Apple and RevenueCat to complete and validate the purchase. Bitwave does not receive your full payment-card or banking information.

Photos & Videos

Bitwave accesses photos and videos from your device library or camera only when you choose to import, capture, or export content. You remain in control of which media you open and save.

Pixel-art filtering and video processing are performed on your device. Your photos and videos are not uploaded to our servers for processing.

When you save or share edited content, that action uses your device's standard photo library, Files, or share sheet. We do not receive copies of your saved media unless you contact us and choose to share files for support.

Face Data and TrueDepth

On supported devices, Bitwave may access TrueDepth depth data, including face-related depth information, while the camera view, background removal, or depth-aware filters are active. This data can indicate the distance between the camera and visible surfaces, including a user's face if a face is in the camera frame.

The app uses TrueDepth depth data only to render live visual effects, separate foreground and background areas, and create the rendered photo or video effect selected by the user. Bitwave does not use this data to identify a person, authenticate a user, infer identity, create a face profile, track a user, or build biometric templates.

TrueDepth and face-related depth processing happens on the device. Raw TrueDepth data and face-related depth data are not uploaded to our servers, not shared with third parties, not sold, and not used for advertising or analytics.

Raw TrueDepth frames and face-related depth data are retained only temporarily in memory while the camera preview, capture, recording, or export process is active. Temporary depth frames are cleared when capture or export ends, when the camera session is reset, or when the app is closed. The app does not store raw TrueDepth data or face-related depth data in a database or cloud service.

If you save or share a processed photo or video, the exported media contains only the rendered visual result selected by the user. Raw TrueDepth depth data is not embedded in or stored with exported media, and the app does not create a separate face data record. You can delete saved photos or videos at any time from your device's Photos app or Files app.

Business Model and In-App Purchases

Bitwave is free to use. The app offers optional consumable in-app purchases that allow users to voluntarily support continued development, new effects, and updates.

Support purchases do not unlock features or provide additional functionality. All current Bitwave features remain available without making a purchase.

In-app purchases are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system.

Crash Diagnostics

The app uses Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash reports, stack traces, and limited technical diagnostics when the app crashes or records a non-fatal error.

Crash diagnostics are used only to fix bugs, improve stability, and understand technical failure conditions. We do not use this data for advertising, user tracking, marketing profiles, or selling personal information.

Third-Party Services

The app relies on Apple services, including the App Store, In-App Purchase, Photo Library access, Camera access, and system share features.

Bitwave uses RevenueCat to manage and validate optional in-app purchases. RevenueCat may process purchase history, transaction information, limited device and operating-system information, and an anonymous app user identifier used to associate purchases with the app installation.

Bitwave also uses Firebase Crashlytics for crash reporting and stability diagnostics.

These services process data according to their respective privacy practices. Bitwave does not use purchase information for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Data Retention

We retain only the limited information needed to operate and improve the app. Crash diagnostics may be kept for a reasonable period to investigate and fix stability issues, then deleted or aggregated according to Firebase/Google retention settings. Purchase records are managed by Apple and RevenueCat according to their retention practices.

Your photos and videos remain on your device unless you delete them. Raw TrueDepth data and face-related depth data are not stored by the app after the active camera, capture, recording, or export process ends. If you contact us for support, we retain correspondence only as long as needed to respond and resolve your request.
