# HiveSync Privacy Notice

Effective Date: June 11, 2026

HiveSync is a local multi-device camera synchronization app. This notice explains what information HiveSync uses and how it is handled.

## Information HiveSync Uses

HiveSync may request access to:

- Camera: used to capture photos on devices acting as Camera receivers.
- Photos: used to save captured photos to the device photo library.
- Local Network: used to discover and connect nearby HiveSync devices.
- Bluetooth: used by iOS peer discovery to help nearby devices connect.
- Microphone: reserved for future audio sync and slate metadata features.

## Photo Storage

Photos captured by HiveSync are saved to the Photos library on the device that captures them.

When a Camera device is connected to a Director device, captured photo data may also be sent over the local peer-to-peer connection so the Director device can save a copy.

## Local Device Connections

HiveSync uses Apple MultipeerConnectivity to connect nearby devices over local Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Connection data stays between the nearby devices participating in the HiveSync session.

## No Cloud Uploads

HiveSync does not upload photos, camera data, device data, or connection data to a server.

HiveSync does not sell personal information.

HiveSync does not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

## Data Shared Between Devices

During a HiveSync session, connected devices may exchange:

- Device display names
- Clock synchronization timing data
- Capture trigger commands
- Captured photo data sent from Camera devices to the Director device

This data is used only to operate the synchronized camera session.

## Children’s Privacy

HiveSync is not designed to collect personal information from children.

## Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be updated as HiveSync changes. The effective date above will be updated when changes are made.
