This policy describes how the P2P Background Camera Android app handles information. The app is developed by Jonathan Verrall and distributed via Google Play.
The app streams live camera video from one Android device (“Camera mode”) directly to another Android device (“Viewer mode”) over a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection. A six-digit pairing code links the two devices.
We do not create user accounts, we do not require you to log in, and we do not track users across devices or sessions.
To establish the peer-to-peer connection we operate a lightweight signaling service on Cloudflare Workers. That service briefly processes:
The app displays banner advertisements via Google AdMob on the camera device while streaming. Google AdMob may collect and use information (including the device’s advertising ID) as described in Google’s Privacy Policy and the AdMob policies. You can reset or opt out of personalised advertising at any time via your Android device settings.
The app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to alert the viewer device when a camera comes online. FCM device tokens are handled by Google Firebase and are not linked to personally identifiable information. See the Firebase Privacy and Security overview.
Pairing codes and signaling session state are retained only for the duration of an active session (maximum five minutes of inactivity) and are then deleted from the signaling server. Cloudflare request logs are subject to Cloudflare’s standard retention policy.
The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Because the app does not collect personal data tied to a user account, there is typically nothing for us to export or delete on request. For questions about this policy, contact the developer at the email below.
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new “Last updated” date.
