Clip Strip Privacy Policy

Last updated 1 October 2026

The short version

Your photos, videos, captions and location never leave your device. Clip Strip has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. From version 1.0.1 the app sends anonymous usage counts, such as which filter was picked, so we can see which features get used. They cannot be traced back to you.

Camera

The app uses the camera only to take your photo booth pictures. Camera frames are processed on the device to show the live preview and apply the filter you choose. They are never uploaded anywhere.

Photos

When you tap "Save to Photos" the finished strip is written to your photo library. The app asks for add-only access and never reads your existing photos.

Location

If you tap the location pin in the caption box, the app reads your approximate location once and converts it to a place name on the device so you can use it as your caption. It is not stored and not sent anywhere. The app never reads your location otherwise.

Sharing to Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

The Instagram and Facebook Story buttons hand the finished strip to those apps using their share hand-off; nothing is sent to us. TikTok sharing, when available, uses TikTok's sharing kit. Once the strip is in their app, their privacy policies apply.

Sharing

The Instagram and Share buttons hand the finished image to the app you choose using the standard iOS sharing system. What happens after that is governed by that app's privacy policy.

Anonymous usage statistics

From version 1.0.1, Clip Strip uses the privacy-focused analytics service TelemetryDeck (TelemetryDeck GmbH, Von-der-Tann-Str. 54, 86159 Augsburg, Germany) to count how the app is used. Version 1.0 sends nothing.

What is sent:

• An anonymised ID for the app installation. It is scrambled on your device before it is sent and cannot be traced back to you or your phone.
• Which actions were taken: starting a booth, the filter and number of shots, the frame style and whether it was customised, how many stickers or drawings were added, and whether the strip was saved or shared and to which app.
• General device details: device model, iOS version, app version, language and region settings, and display and accessibility settings.

What is never sent: your photos or videos, the text of your caption, your location, your name or contact details, or an advertising identifier. TelemetryDeck does not store IP addresses and does not use cookies. The data is stored in the European Union and is used only to improve the app. It is not sold, not shared with advertisers and not combined with data from other apps or websites.

Accounts, advertising and tracking

There are no accounts, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. Apart from the anonymous usage statistics above, the app makes no network requests of its own.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages. It collects no personal information from anyone; the anonymous usage statistics above are the only data it sends.
