Counterlight is a camera app that runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data.
Camera — Required. Used solely for live preview and photo capture inside the app.
Photos (Add only) — Optional. Used only when you choose to save a photo from Counterlight to your camera roll. This permission does not allow Counterlight to read your existing photos.
Photos you take with Counterlight are stored locally in the app’s private container on your device. They are never uploaded, synced, or backed up by Counterlight. Deleting the app from your device removes all of Counterlight’s data along with it.
If you choose to export a photo to your camera roll using “Save to Photos,” that photo then lives in Apple’s Photos library and is subject to Apple’s iCloud Photos behavior — not anything Counterlight controls.
Counterlight does not collect data from anyone, including children. There is no age-restricted processing because there is no processing.
If anything material changes, we will update this page and the date above. The change history is publicly visible in the git history of this repository.
