Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026.11.11
Group Camera lets a few people shoot photos into the same collage, each from their own phone. This policy explains, in plain language, what the app does with information. It applies to the Group Camera apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro and Android, and to this website (together, the "Services"), provided by What To Wear LLC ("we", "us").
No account needed
Group Camera has no sign-up, no password and no email address. A collage you make on your own stays on your device until you save or share it yourself.
What we receive when you shoot together
When you invite people to a collage, or join someone else's, our server receives:
- The photos shot into the shared collage, so everyone in it sees them.
- Live previews while someone aims at a cell - about one small, low-resolution frame a second, so the others can see the shot being lined up. Previews are kept only in the server's memory, for at most a minute, and are never stored.
- The display name you type when you share or join, shown to the others in the collage. It can be anything you like; we don't need your real name.
- Random identifiers made by the app: one for this installation of the app (so "Reinvite" can offer the people you shot with recently and deliver their invites to you), one for your seat in each collage, and the collage's invite code. They are not tied to your device's hardware, your Apple or Google account, or an advertising identifier.
- Technical information every internet service receives, such as your IP address, and standard server logs of requests.
Nearby mode. If you shoot together with people on the same Wi-Fi without our server, photos and previews travel directly between your phones over your local network and never reach us.
How long we keep it
A shared collage is a live shoot, not an archive. It ends on our server after a day with no activity, and at the latest a week after it started. Its photos, names and identifiers are then removed from the Services and permanently erased from our systems shortly after, unless we must keep something to comply with law or to deal with a report (below). The finished collage stays on the phones of the people in it, and in any photo library they saved it to.
Reports and blocking
You can report a collage or a person in it, and block someone so they can't send you invites. When you report, we keep the report and a copy of what was reported (including the photos and the names involved) so our moderators can review it, even after the collage ends. We act on reports that break our rules, for example by removing photos or stopping someone from using the Services.
What To Wear Plus
What To Wear Plus is an optional subscription sold through Apple's App Store or Google Play that works in all of our apps (What To Wear, Passion for Fashion, Fashion Camera, GroupPhoto and Group Camera). To know whether you are a member, our apps on your device share a random membership identifier, and Group Camera asks our What To Wear servers about it. If you have signed in to What To Wear on that device, the identifier belongs to your What To Wear account, and that app's privacy policy covers it. We use RevenueCat to receive the subscription's purchase and renewal records from the store; RevenueCat receives the membership identifier and the store's purchase details (the product, prices, dates and transaction identifiers), not your name, email or payment card. Apple or Google processes your payment.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information and we show no ads. We share it only with:
- The people in your collage, who see its photos, previews and display names. Anything shared with them can be saved or passed on by them.
- Service providers that help us run the Services: Cloudflare (network security and delivery), the hosting providers that operate our servers, RevenueCat (What To Wear Plus purchase records), and Apple and Google (app stores and purchases).
- Legal and safety recipients, when required by law, or to enforce our rules, investigate abuse, or protect people's safety.
We are a U.S. company and our servers are in North America and Europe; if you use the Services from elsewhere, your information is transferred to and processed in those countries under the protections described here.
Permissions the app asks for
- Camera - to shoot photos straight into the collage's cells.
- Photos (add only) - to save a finished collage to your library. On Apple Vision Pro, which has no app camera, you pick photos with the system photo picker instead.
- Local network - to connect directly to nearby photographers in your collage.
Each one is optional; without it, only the feature that needs it is unavailable.
Security
Everything between the app and our server travels over encrypted HTTPS. Invite codes are random and only the people you share them with can join. No system is perfectly secure, so share invites only with people you trust.
Your rights
Because Group Camera has no accounts, most of what we hold disappears on its own when a collage ends. You can also ask us to access or delete information about you sooner, and, depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe and the UK, or the CCPA in California), you may have further rights to correct, restrict, object to or receive a copy of your information. Tell us the collage's invite code and your display name so we can find it. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Group Camera is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has used the Services, contact us and we will delete what we hold.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date, and material changes will be pointed out in the app or its release notes.
