Privacy policy
Your footage is nobody's business.
Last updated: August 20, 2026
OpenPocketCine is an open-source field monitor for DJI Osmo Pocket cameras. The app has no account, telemetry, or automatic data upload. This page is the canonical privacy text.
What the app does with data
- Live view and camera status happen entirely over Bluetooth and the camera's own Wi-Fi between your device and your camera. Video frames and telemetry never leave that local link.
- Saved camera names and last SSID are stored only in app-local storage on your device. The camera Wi-Fi password is stored in the iOS Keychain on this phone only.
- Operator preferences such as Keep Screen Awake and the last LUT look stay on the device, along with any .cube files you import.
What never leaves the phone
Live HEVC, DUML telemetry, and pairing traffic stay on the local link. We do not operate a cloud. We do not sell data. We do not run analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs.
Third parties
- Apple (or Google). Permission prompts and OS diagnostics are processed under their own policies. If you install a TestFlight or Play beta, Apple or Google may provide crash reports to the developer under their terms. OpenPocketCine adds no crash-reporting SDK.
- Frame.io (optional). If this build is configured and you sign in, the app talks directly to Adobe IMS and Frame.io to upload clips you pick. The token stays in the on-device Keychain. Uploads go device → Frame.io, never through us. Adobe's privacy policy applies.
- Photos and system share. Saving a clip or using the share sheet is something you start. Apple or the app you pick then handles that file.
- On-device face boxes. AF-C face boxes are computed on the phone with Apple Vision from the live preview. Face geometry is not uploaded.
- Android location permission. Android may ask for location so the app can join the camera's Wi-Fi / scan BLE. OpenPocketCine does not use that permission for maps, ads, or a location history. Camera Wi-Fi passwords stay in platform-secure storage on that phone.
- GitHub. If you open an issue or discussion, that is public and governed by GitHub's policies. Never post camera Wi-Fi passwords, captures, or private media.
What the app does not do
- No analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting SDKs.
- No advertising or tracking of any kind.
- No account with us — the app has no sign-up.
- No sale of personal data.
