ClearLens — Magnifier

Effective: 25 September 2026 · 한국어

1. What we collect

We collect and keep no personal data ourselves. There is no sign-up, no login and no account. The only thing the app sends to our server is the anonymous usage events described below, which contain no personal data. The advertising SDKs bundled in the app do collect data in order to serve ads (see section 4).

• The camera view is processed only in your device's memory. Magnifying, filters and picking the sharpest frame (Freeze) all happen on the device; camera video and photos are never recorded or uploaded anywhere.
• A photo is saved only when you tap "Save": it goes to your device gallery (Pictures/ClearLens folder), and a copy is kept in the app's private storage for the "Recent saves" list (the latest 20; a photo that could not be added to the gallery is kept, because it is the only copy).
• "Share" writes the filtered photo to a temporary file and hands it only to the app you choose; temporary files are cleaned up after a day.
• "Open a photo" uses the Android photo picker and reads only the one photo you pick. The original is never modified.
• The light sensor (where available) is used only to suggest the flashlight in the dark; its readings are neither stored nor sent.
• The app is excluded from Android's automatic backup.
• The advertising identifier (GAID) is used by the ad SDKs. Our own app code neither reads nor stores it.
• Anonymous usage events — the app sends a small, fixed set of anonymous events (first launch, first use (first freeze or first photo opened), the "Remove ads" screen being shown and where it was opened from (Settings or next to the banner), purchase started, completed, cancelled or failed, restore attempted, an interstitial ad being shown, and whether the app was reopened on day 1 and day 7) to a server we operate. Each event carries only an install identifier the app generates at random, an app tag, the event name and a timestamp; no advertising ID, device identifier, name, photo or camera image is included. We use it solely to see where people drop off, and raw events are deleted within 90 days, leaving only aggregate counts.
• Counters such as camera allowed, first freeze, first save, filter used and five freezes are numbers on your device and are never transmitted anywhere.
• There is no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK in the app.

2. Where data lives

Data	Purpose	Location
Live camera view, frozen view	Magnifying	Device memory — no file is written until you tap Save
Saved photos	Looking at them later	Device gallery (Pictures/ClearLens) — stays after the app is removed
"Recent saves" copies (latest 20)	Reopening inside the app	App private storage
App settings (default zoom, bright screen, flashlight suggestion, theme)	Running the app	On device
Whether "Remove ads" was purchased	Unlocking and restoring the purchase	On device + Google Play
On-device usage counters	In-app decisions (e.g. when to ask for a review)	On device — never sent
Anonymous usage events (random install identifier only)	Seeing where people drop off	Our server — raw events for up to 90 days, then aggregates only

3. App permissions

Permission	Used for
Camera	Showing the magnified view. If you decline, "Open a photo" still gives you every zoom and filter feature.
Write storage (Android 9 and older only)	Adding saved photos to the gallery. Requested only on such devices, the first time you save. Never requested on Android 10 and later.
Internet, network state	Showing ads, in-app purchase, sending anonymous usage events

Opening a photo uses the Android photo picker, so no photo or media permission is needed.

4. Third-Party Services

Google Play Billing — in-app purchases are processed by Google, and the app only checks whether you own an item. We never see your payment details. Google's handling is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

Unity LevelPlay & Unity Ads (Unity Technologies / ironSource) — to serve banner and interstitial ads via mediation, it collects and uses the advertising identifier (GAID), IP address, device information (model, OS version, language, etc.) and ad-interaction data, which may be passed to advertising partners during ad bidding. Unity's handling is covered by the Unity Privacy Policy, and you can opt out of personalized ads via the information icon shown on ads. Camera images and photos are never passed to the ad SDKs.

Ad mediation partners — ads are selected through Unity LevelPlay mediation, which runs a real-time auction among the networks below. Each network's SDK is included in the app and, when it takes part in an auction, may process the advertising identifier (GAID), IP address (used to estimate an approximate region), device information, ad-interaction data and SDK diagnostic/crash information for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. Each partner's handling is covered by its own policy:

5. Consent in Europe (GDPR / EEA, UK, Switzerland)

On devices that appear to be in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, the app shows the InMobi Choice consent dialog (CMP) once the magnifier screen is ready. It follows the IAB TCF standard.

• If you do not consent, or you dismiss the dialog, the ad SDKs are not initialised at all — no ad request is sent.
• You can reopen it and withdraw consent any time from Settings → "Privacy choices". After withdrawal, any already-loaded ad is discarded rather than shown.
• Outside those regions the dialog does not appear; you can still limit personalised ads by resetting or deleting the advertising ID in your device settings.

6. International transfers

We transfer no personal data ourselves. The anonymous usage events in section 1 are processed on Cloudflare infrastructure (which may be located abroad) and contain no personal data. The advertising partners listed in section 4 may process data on servers abroad (including the United States) while serving ads, under their own policies. In Europe this only happens after the consent described in section 5.

7. Ad formats

• The app shows banner and interstitial ads. There are no rewarded ads.
• Banners appear only in a separate strip below the camera and frozen views; they never cover the magnified image.
• Interstitials never appear while you are magnifying or looking at a frozen view. They can appear only when you tap "Resume" on a frozen camera view to go back to the live camera, at most once every three times, never in the first session after install, and at least 180 seconds apart. They never appear for opened photos, Recent saves, while saving, during a permission request, at launch or on Back.
• The one-time in-app purchase "Remove ads" removes all of them. No other feature is locked.

8. Children

This app is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.

9. Your rights

• Change or withdraw ad consent — Settings → Privacy choices (devices in Europe).
• Reset or delete the advertising ID — device Settings → Privacy → Ads.
• Revoke camera access — device Settings → Apps → Magnifier → Permissions.
• Delete everything — removing the app erases its private data (settings and "Recent saves" copies). Photos you saved to the gallery are yours and stay after the app is removed; you can delete them in your gallery app.
• Questions — email us at the address below.
