Data Safety & Trust

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026 • Effective for Camera LUT Version 0.9-beta and above.

🔒 100% Offline by Design

Camera LUT does not request the Android Internet permission (android.permission.INTERNET). The application has zero capability to transmit photographs, metadata, device identifiers, or analytics over the internet.

1. Core Architectural Principle

Camera LUT is an intelligent photography camera application developed by NextGen TechEdge Solutions Private Limited. We believe your personal photographs belong exclusively to you. All scene understanding, technical corrections, 3D LUT look applications, and image encoding happen 100% locally on your Android device hardware.

2. Android Permissions We Request & Why

Camera LUT requests only the minimum hardware permissions necessary to take and save photographs:

  • Camera (android.permission.CAMERA): Required solely to access your device's camera sensors, display the live preview viewfinder, perform autofocus/auto-exposure, and capture full-resolution sensor frames.
  • Foreground Service (android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE & android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC): Used strictly to allow the background processing queue to finish developing your captured high-resolution Enhanced image after you press the shutter, without causing the camera viewfinder to stutter or freeze.
  • Storage / MediaStore: On Android 10 (API 29) through Android 15 (API 36), Camera LUT uses standard Android scoped storage APIs (MediaStore.Images.Media). Captured images are saved to your public Pictures/SceneCamera directory so you can view, share, or back them up using your device's standard Gallery app. We do not inspect or read any existing media files on your device.

3. Permissions We Do NOT Request

  • No Internet Permission: We cannot and do not communicate with external servers, cloud processing pipelines, telemetry services, or advertising networks.
  • No Location Permission: We do not request GPS or coarse network location.
  • No Audio / Microphone Permission: Camera LUT does not capture audio.
  • No Contacts, Account, or Identity Permissions: The app operates entirely standalone without any login or account creation.

4. Scene Analysis & On-Device Machine Learning

The scene recognition heuristics and ML Kit image labeling models embedded in Camera LUT operate entirely offline using on-device neural processing. No image frames, histogram vectors, or classification predictions ever leave your physical smartphone.

5. Dual Image Storage

When you capture a shot, Camera LUT writes two distinct files to your device gallery:

  1. ORIGINAL JPEG: The unadulterated camera sensor capture.
  2. ENHANCED JPEG: The exposure-balanced, color-corrected image graded with your selected 3D LUT look and strength.

Because your original photo is always preserved separately, your creative choices are completely non-destructive.

6. Third-Party Libraries & SDKs

Camera LUT uses only verified, open-source or on-device libraries:

  • com.google.mlkit:image-labeling (On-device computer vision; no network usage)
  • androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface (Local EXIF metadata parsing and orientation)

There are no tracking SDKs, no advertising SDKs, and no remote crash reporting SDKs.

7. Children's Privacy

Camera LUT does not collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13 years of age.
