Privacy Policy
Last updated November 9, 2026
LobCam is made by William Cheng. This policy explains what the LobCam iPhone and Apple Watch apps do with your information. The short version: LobCam does not collect any data. Your videos and everything the app works out from them stay on your device.
What stays on your device
The videos you record or import, the points LobCam cuts them into, your stars, names, notes and court markings are all stored on your iPhone. They are analysed on the phone itself. LobCam does not upload them, and we never receive them.
LobCam has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it contains no third-party software development kits.
Permissions LobCam asks for
- Camera and microphone, to record your session. The sound is used on the phone to hear racket hits, which is how LobCam finds where each point starts and ends.
- Photos, only if you choose to import a video from your library or save clips to it.
- Location, optional, to name the court where you recorded and suggest nearby places. To turn a location into a place name, the app uses Apple's built-in maps services, which receive the location for that lookup under Apple's privacy policy. LobCam doesn't send your location anywhere else. You can say no and the app works the same, without place names.
You can change any of these at any time in your iPhone's Settings › LobCam.
Sharing
Nothing leaves your phone unless you share it. When you share a clip or a reel, it goes through the iOS share sheet to the app or person you pick, and what happens next is covered by that service's own policy.
Backups
If you use iCloud Backup or back up your iPhone to a computer, your LobCam data may be included in that backup like other app data. That is handled by Apple, not by us.
Children
LobCam doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Deleting your data
Deleting a session in the app, or deleting the app, removes its data from your phone. Because we don't hold any of your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
Changes
If LobCam adds a feature that works with your data differently, for example an optional online feature, this policy will be updated before that feature ships, and the date above will change.
