bobbyCam.1. The short version
bobbyCam is a local-first screen and camera recorder for Mac. This policy covers the app and its landing page. The operator is the developer identified on bobbyCam’s App Store listing. You do not need a bobbyCam account to record. The app saves recording content on your Mac and does not automatically send your videos, camera feed, or microphone audio to us.
2. Recordings and device permissions
With your permission, bobbyCam processes the screen or window you select, your camera feed, microphone audio, and system audio, depending on the recording options you enable. Screen content can include personal or confidential information visible in the chosen source. Live previews and device checks may access enabled devices before you start recording. Processing takes place on your Mac. You can revoke permissions in macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security. Disabling a permission prevents the associated feature from working.
3. What is stored on your Mac
The app stores video files, thumbnails, and recording metadata such as title, creation date, duration, resolution, frame rate, file size, and capture settings. Preferences, selected device identifiers, recording-folder location, onboarding state, and a cached Pro entitlement are stored locally. These support playback, the recording library, device selection, and remembering your settings. Local storage is not a hosted backup. Your files use your Mac’s available disk space.
4. Apple purchases and entitlement checks
The optional Pro upgrade uses Apple’s StoreKit and App Store services. Apple processes payment and Apple Account information under its own policies. bobbyCam requests product information, verifies purchase entitlements and transaction status, checks for revocation or refunds, and supports Restore Purchase. The app stores a local Pro-status cache. These App Store operations may use a network connection. bobbyCam does not receive your full payment-card details or Apple Account password. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
6. Website requests, cookies, and analytics
The current landing page has no advertising trackers, behavioral analytics scripts, signup forms, or marketing-cookie banner because it does not set marketing cookies. Our hosting provider and its delivery/security infrastructure process technical request information, such as IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, and request time, to deliver and protect the website. The landing page is configured for hosting on Vercel. Vercel processes website requests and may use operational logs and security technologies under its own policies. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy. We do not currently operate a separate app telemetry or advertising system. This policy will be updated if the hosting or analytics setup changes.
7. Information you choose to send for support
If you contact us through the developer support contact on bobbyCam’s App Store listing when available, we may receive your email address, message, and any attachments or diagnostic details you provide. We use them to respond, troubleshoot, and maintain support records. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, or recordings of other people without permission. We retain support correspondence only as reasonably needed to resolve the request, maintain relevant records, and meet applicable obligations. The email provider used for support may process those messages.
8. Retention and deletion
Your local recordings remain until you delete them. Deleting a recording in the app moves its recording folder to the Mac’s Trash; you control when Trash is emptied. Temporary files from unsuccessful recordings may be removed during cleanup. Uninstalling bobbyCam does not necessarily delete recordings, preferences, backups, or copies saved elsewhere. You can remove those through Finder and your backup or sharing services. We cannot retrieve or delete recording files that remain only on your device. Apple controls its transaction-record retention; hosting providers control retention of their operational logs.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
You can choose which sources to capture, revoke permissions, delete local files, and decide whether to share or purchase Pro. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to be informed, access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, obtain a portable copy, withdraw consent, or complain to a data protection authority. Contact us through the developer support contact on bobbyCam’s App Store listing when available about personal data actually held by us. We may need proportionate information to verify the request. Where the Philippine Data Privacy Act applies, you may also contact the National Privacy Commission. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
10. Security and children
We minimize data we receive and rely on macOS permissions and local file storage for recording features. No software or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Protect your Mac, use appropriate access controls, and keep backups of important recordings. bobbyCam is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children through this website. A parent or guardian should supervise use where required and contact us about concerns.
11. Changes and contact
We will revise this policy when the product or data practices materially change and update the date above. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent. For privacy questions, contact the developer identified on bobbyCam’s App Store listing through the developer support contact on bobbyCam’s App Store listing when available. This policy describes current functionality; a new cloud feature would require an updated explanation before it is introduced.
