Foteza Inc. · Effective 1 September 2026 · Replaces all earlier versions

This policy explains how Foteza Inc. (“Foteza,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Foteza iOS app, Photo Lab, foteza.com, and related services (together, the “Services”).

Questions: support@foteza.com


1. Who this covers

This policy applies to anyone who downloads Foteza, creates an account, shoots video or stills in the app, uses Photo Lab, buys a subscription or credits, or visits our website. The Services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.


2. Information we collect

Account. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the identifier and (if you share it) your name and email. We store this in Firebase so your Pro access and credits follow you across devices.

Purchases. Subscriptions, unlocks, and credit packs are processed by Apple. We receive a transaction ID, product ID, and entitlement state. We do not see your full card number.

Camera, microphone, photos, motion. Video, audio, and stills you capture or pick stay on your device unless you choose to save them to Photos or send a still to Photo Lab. Motion data is used only for the on-screen level tool. We do not get a live feed of your camera.

Photo Lab stills. When you apply a Photo Lab look, the still you selected is uploaded to our Google Cloud function (us-central1) so we can run the treatment and return a finished image. If a generation fails, we refund the credits. If you report that a look missed, we may keep the original and the output so we can fix the recipe — then we delete the files when that work is done.

Device and usage. We use Firebase Analytics for coarse app usage (screens, crashes, country). We do not build advertising profiles.


3. How we use it

We use this information to run the app, apply looks, grant Pro and credits, fix failed treatments, prevent abuse, meet App Store and legal requirements, and send service messages (for example, a failed purchase). We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your Photo Lab stills to train our own foundation models.


4. Who we share it with

We share only what is needed to operate the Services:

  • Apple — Sign in with Apple, In-App Purchases, App Store.

  • Google — Sign in with Google, Firebase Auth / Firestore / Functions / Storage / Analytics, and Gemini image generation for Photo Lab.

  • Service providers who host or process data for us, under contract, in the United States (Google Cloud, Iowa / us-central1) and wherever Apple processes App Store payments.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect Foteza or our users, or as part of a merger or sale of the company (you would be notified).


5. On-device processing

Live Log preview, LUT application, grain, and most camera tools run on your iPhone. Those frames are not uploaded unless you save or share them, or send a still through Photo Lab.


6. Retention

Account and entitlement records last while your account is open, then up to 90 days after a deletion request, except records we must keep longer for taxes, fraud, or Apple’s rules (typically up to 7 years). Photo Lab uploads are kept only long enough to return the result, debug a reported miss, or complete a refund — then they are deleted. Analytics events are kept in aggregate.


7. Your choices

You can revoke camera, microphone, Photos, and motion access in iOS Settings. You can restore or manage subscriptions in your Apple ID settings. You can request access, correction, export, or deletion of your Foteza account data by emailing support@foteza.com. We aim to respond within 30 days. Deleting the app from your phone does not cancel a subscription — cancel that with Apple.


8. International transfers

Foteza Inc. is based in Canada. Account, Photo Lab, and analytics data are processed in the United States. By using the Services you understand that transfer. Where the law requires, we rely on appropriate safeguards (including Google Cloud’s terms).


9. Security

We use TLS in transit, Firebase security rules, and least-privilege access. No method of storage is perfectly secure. Do not shoot or upload anything you are not willing to process in the cloud when you use Photo Lab.


10. Changes

If we make a material change, we will update this page and the effective date, and we will give at least 7 days’ notice in the app or by email where we can. Continued use after that date is acceptance of the new policy.
