LightRoll does not collect or transmit your personal data to LightRoll-controlled servers. Your photos stay on your device. The app stores only local settings and capture-management metadata needed for Temp, cleanup, and PLUS access. There are no accounts, analytics, ads, or tracking.
LightRoll requests access to your device's camera and photo library so it can take photos and save them to the albums you choose. Microphone access is used only when you record video with audio. Your photos and videos are not uploaded to LightRoll servers.
LightRoll does not collect personal data. Specifically:
If you buy LightRoll PLUS, purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. LightRoll uses StoreKit entitlement status to unlock PLUS features. We do not receive your payment card details or Apple Account credentials.
When you delete expired Temp photos using LightRoll, the deletion happens locally through Apple's Photos framework. iOS will ask for your permission before any photos are removed. LightRoll never deletes photos without your explicit approval.
Your settings and capture-management metadata are stored locally on your device. This can include album choices, retention window, grid preference, capture category, expiry date, and local Photos identifiers needed to manage Temp cleanup. No data is synced to LightRoll servers.
LightRoll does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
If this policy changes, we will update this page with a new date. Because LightRoll's data practices are intentionally minimal, material changes are unlikely.
