Photos are processed on your device. Online authorization handles installation verification data. Apple provides photo place-name lookups.
Scope and contact
This policy covers WOW-cam and the wowcam.xyz website. Contact wow_help@outlook.com for privacy questions or technical support.
This policy describes the current version. You do not need a personal account. The app does not display advertising or use authorization records for cross-app advertising tracking.
Photos, video and editing
Capture, import, editing and image processing take place on your device. Media, sound, editing settings and previews are stored on the device. WOW’s authorization service does not receive these media files.
When you export to Photos, share with another app, copy files through file sharing or use system backups, those copies are managed by the destination and services you choose. Media can contain capture time, device model or location metadata. Review that information before sharing.
Camera and system permissions
Camera access is used to capture photos and video. Microphone access records video sound. Permission to add to Photos saves exported photos or video. Motion data helps adjust capture settings. You can manage these permissions in system Settings.
Location permission is optional and adds capture coordinates to new photos. You can turn off the app’s Save location option or revoke location permission in Settings. This does not remove location metadata already stored in older photos.
Photo place names
For photos containing GPS information, the app uses Apple’s geocoding service to convert coordinates into city or area names. This may send the photo’s coordinates to Apple, including coordinates already present in imported photos. They are not sent to WOW’s authorization database.
To avoid these place-name lookups, remove GPS metadata before importing a photo. Apple’s handling of its service data is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
Online authorization and security data
Enabling image processing for the first time and renewing authorization require a connection to auth.wowcam.xyz. The app uses Apple App Attest to verify the installation and obtain encrypted authorization bound to the device.
The service stores an installation-specific attestation key identifier, public keys, app identifier, authorization environment, verification counters, registration and renewal timestamps, and temporary challenges and proof digests needed for verification. These records connect authorization activity from the same installation. They do not contain your photos, Apple ID, name or email address.
Network infrastructure processes connection information, including IP addresses, to deliver requests and limit abuse. The current authorization database does not store raw IP addresses. Error logs use fixed error categories rather than request bodies, photos or key material.
Service providers and processing locations
The authorization service runs on Cloudflare Workers and D1. Cloudflare processes the data needed for network delivery, security and storage. Apple provides App Attest, system permissions and geocoding. Support email is received, sent and stored through Microsoft Outlook.com. The email service processes sender and recipient addresses, message content and attachments, and email-related metadata such as send and receive times to provide and protect the service.
These services may process data outside your country or region. We do not sell personal data or provide authorization data to advertising networks or data brokers. Providers’ handling of data is subject to their applicable privacy terms, linked below.
Retention and deletion
You control media stored on your device. Deleting a photo within the app does not necessarily delete copies in Photos, other apps, shared destinations or system backups. Uninstalling the app does not submit a server deletion request.
Temporary authorization challenges expire after five minutes and are deleted by scheduled cleanup, normally every ten minutes. Backlogs or service interruptions can delay deletion. Installation authorization records currently have no automatic deletion deadline; they remain available for later verification and replay prevention.
To request access, correction or deletion of authorization records or support correspondence, email wow_help@outlook.com. We still need to establish the connection between your request and the relevant installation or correspondence before making changes. Do not send private photos, passwords or resource keys. Removing authorization records may require the installation to verify again; continued app use may create new records.
Website and support messages
When you visit wowcam.xyz, hosting and network services process connection information needed to deliver the site. The website does not include advertising trackers or require a login or photo submission.
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set security cookies (such as __cf_bm) and load verification scripts to detect automated traffic and prevent abuse. These mechanisms protect the website and are not used by WOW for advertising tracking.
If you contact support, we receive your email address, message and any files you choose to attach to answer and investigate your request. Send only information needed for the issue and avoid private photos or other sensitive material you do not wish to disclose.
Updates to this policy
We will update this page and its date when data practices change. New permissions or data uses will be accompanied by the explanations or choices required for that change.
