Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2026

Introduction

LightPath Apps LLC ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This policy describes our practices for the MotionKeeper app, now named Motion on your device (the "App"). Photo scanning and extraction run on your device. We do not upload your photos or videos to our servers.

Privacy First

Motion processes photos locally. Your photo library may download originals from iCloud. Your own photo-sync, device backup, and sharing choices may send media to other services; those services handle it under their own policies.

Information We Collect

Motion keeps its photo-processing records on your device. Store purchases and information you choose to send when contacting support are described separately below.

Information Stored Locally (On Your Device Only)

  • Scan history: Records of which photos have been scanned for motion video detection (stored in a local SQLite database)
  • Extraction history: Records of which videos have been extracted, including file paths and timestamps
  • App preferences: Your settings and whether you've completed onboarding

Important: This data is stored only on your device and is not sent to our servers. Device backups are controlled by your operating system and backup settings.

Information We May Receive

  • Platform diagnostics: Apple or Google may process diagnostic information under your device and store settings. The current app does not integrate a third-party crash-reporting or analytics SDK to upload your media.
  • Support messages: If you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, and use it to respond to your request.
  • Purchase information: If you purchase MotionKeeper Premium, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We receive only a purchase confirmation to unlock premium features — we never see your payment details.

Information We Do NOT Collect

As part of photo scanning and extraction, we do not collect on our servers:

  • Your photos or videos
  • Face data or biometric information (no facial recognition is performed)
  • Your location
  • Your contacts
  • Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data

Photo Library Access

MotionKeeper requires access to your photo library to scan for Live Photos (iOS) and Motion Photos (Android). This access is used solely to:

  • Identify photos that contain embedded motion videos
  • Extract and save those videos, or still frames from them, to your photo library

Photo processing happens on your device, without uploading your media to our servers. When an original is stored in iCloud, the system may download it to complete the operation. Saving to a synced photo library or using Share follows your own settings and the service you choose.

Data Storage and Security

All app data is stored locally on your device using standard platform security:

  • iOS: Data is stored in the app's sandboxed container and protected by iOS security. Premium entitlement is checked through Apple StoreKit.
  • Android: Data is stored in the app's private storage directory. Premium purchase status is stored in the Android Keystore.

Third-Party Services

MotionKeeper uses the following third-party services:

  • Apple App Store / Google Play: For processing in-app purchases
  • Photo libraries, backups, and sharing: System photo services may retrieve cloud originals or sync saved media according to your settings. When you choose to share a video, the destination service receives it.

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:

Children's Privacy

The App does not require an account and is not designed to collect children's personal information. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information in a support message, contact us so we can remove it.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

  • Clear app data: Use the "Clear All Data" option in the app's Settings to delete scan history and extraction records
  • Uninstall the app: Removing the app will delete all locally stored data
  • Extracted videos: Videos saved to your photo library remain there until you delete them manually

Your Rights

You control local scan and extraction records through the app's settings, and saved media through your photo library. To request access, correction, or deletion of information you have sent us, contact the email address below. Other rights may apply depending on your location. Requests about data held by Apple, Google, or another service should also be directed to that provider.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by other means.
