Privacy Policy for Camera Graph

Effective Date: October 29, 2026

Camera Graph is a Mac app for recording, live effects, streaming, and acting as a virtual camera. This policy explains what the app sends off your Mac, why, and how to turn it off. It covers the Mac App Store version and the version downloaded from cameragraph.app.

1. Your video and audio stay on your Mac

Your camera, microphone, screen captures, scenes, and recordings are processed on your Mac. Background removal and other AI effects run on your Mac. We never receive your video, audio, recordings, or scene files. Video leaves your Mac only where you send it: a stream to the server you enter, or another app where you pick Camera Graph as the camera.

2. Anonymous usage analytics

To learn which features people use and where the app breaks, Camera Graph sends anonymous usage events to Mixpanel, our analytics provider. These include:

  • A random ID created when you install the app. It is not tied to your name, email, Apple Account, or any other account.
  • App events, such as a session starting or ending, or an Instant Replay clip being saved or failing to save.
  • Basic technical details that come with each event: app version, macOS version, Mac model, and screen size.

We do not collect your name, email, contacts, location, or the content of anything you record or stream. We do not use your IP address to work out where you are. We do not track you across other apps or websites, show ads, or sell or share this data for advertising.

3. Turning analytics off

Go to Settings › Privacy in Camera Graph and turn analytics off. The app then sends nothing to Mixpanel and drops any events it has not sent yet. You can turn it back on at any time.

4. Other connections the app makes

  • Updates (direct download only). The version from cameragraph.app checks cameragraph.app for updates and downloads them from GitHub. Like any web request, these carry your IP address, but no personal information. The Mac App Store version is updated by the App Store.
  • Things you ask for. Browser sources load the web pages you enter, the model browser searches Hugging Face when you use it, and streaming connects to the server you enter. Those services handle your data under their own policies.
  • Crash reports. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in macOS, Apple may pass crash reports on to us. Apple anonymizes them first.

5. Who processes the data

Analytics events are stored by Mixpanel, which processes them on our behalf. Only the Camera Graph team can see them. We do not sell or give this data to anyone else.

6. How long we keep it

We keep analytics events only as long as they help us improve the app. Because the ID is random and not linked to you, we cannot look up or connect events to a person. Turning analytics off stops any new events from being sent.

7. Children

Camera Graph is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change what the app collects, we will update this page and the effective date above.
