Your moments stay yours.

01Scope and operator

This policy applies to Kihya Camera for iOS and Android and to the public pages at camera.kihya.com. Kihya Co., Ltd. operates the app and is responsible for the processing described here. Privacy questions can be sent to help@kihya.com.

02Photos, videos, face data and local app data

Captured and edited photos and videos are processed on the device. They are added to the system photo library only when you save them or enable Save right after capture. The default saves the processed photo; optional original-photo saving can be enabled in Settings.

Portrait retouching and the face analysis it needs run entirely on the device. Photo pixels, face data and face-analysis results are not uploaded, sent to a third party or included in analytics. Portrait retouching is available only for a photo just taken with Kihya Camera and is not applied to existing library photos.

If a completed video cannot yet be added to the photo library, including when storage runs low, a recoverable copy may remain in the app's private local storage until you save it again or confirm deletion. It is not uploaded to Kihya.

Favorites, theme, language, filter choice and camera preferences are stored locally. Kihya does not receive media pixels, video or audio, filenames, captions, EXIF contents or your favorites list.

03Permissions

• Camera: requested when the camera is first needed.
• Microphone: requested when recording video with sound.
• Photos and videos: add access is used for saving; broader library access is requested only when you open the gallery or choose existing media to edit.
• Location: off by default and requested only after you enable shooting-location metadata.
• Network: used for Firebase Analytics and standard app-service connectivity. The app does not request notification permission.

04Metadata and watermark

Device, camera, filter and optional location metadata may be written into the copy you save. Location metadata is off by default. Available metadata controls can be changed separately in Settings. Turning a setting off affects future saves; it does not rewrite media already in your photo library.

The Kihya watermark is on by default for photos and videos and can be disabled. Watermarking is performed on the device.

05Firebase Analytics and GA4

Kihya Camera uses Google Firebase Analytics to process a pseudonymous app-instance identifier, device and operating-system information, app version, approximate region, sessions, screens, product interactions and technical error categories. Kihya sends allow-listed values such as media type, filter ID, camera mode, supported quality and whether a feature is enabled.

Media content, filenames, captions, precise location, email addresses, Kihya user IDs and advertising identifiers are not included in these events. Ad storage, ad user data, ad personalization and cross-app or cross-website tracking are disabled. The app's Settings screen provides a read-only explanation of this scope.

06Sharing and service providers

Sharing starts only when you choose Share and uses the operating system's share sheet. The recipient app then handles the shared copy under its own terms.

Google LLC provides Firebase Analytics and GA4 as a data processor/service provider. App distribution is handled by Apple and Google under their own store policies. We do not sell or rent personal information and do not use it for targeted advertising.

07Retention and deletion

Local settings remain until you reset or uninstall the app. A recoverable unsaved video remains in private app storage until it is successfully saved, you confirm deletion or app data is removed. Saved media remains in the system photo library until you delete it. Deleting an item through Kihya Camera invokes the operating system's confirmation and may delete the same system-library item.

Analytics event data is retained according to the period configured for the Kihya Camera Firebase/GA4 property and is then deleted or aggregated under Google's service controls. Because there is no account, Kihya generally cannot connect an analytics instance to a named person.

08Your choices and requests

You can deny permissions, disable location metadata or the watermark, clear app data, uninstall the app, and delete saved media through the system photo library. The app has no account, so there is no Kihya Camera account-deletion process.

For an access, correction, deletion or privacy question, contact help@kihya.com. We may ask for limited information needed to understand the request, but please do not send photos, videos, precise locations or authentication codes.

09General audience, website and changes

The app is designed for a general audience and does not knowingly ask children to submit personal information. The website has no account form, advertising pixel or first-party analytics script. Its hosting infrastructure may process standard access logs such as IP address, user agent and request time for delivery, reliability and security.

Material changes will be posted here with a new update date. If app data handling changes, the in-app notice and store privacy disclosures will also be updated where required.
