Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 October 2026
Videogram records you with both cameras, lets you talk over a video, and turns your videos into edits, frame grids, clips and GIFs — and it does all of it on your device, including transcription. It has no accounts and no analytics. Your videos stay on your phone, with one exception you control: a video you choose to share by link is uploaded so that the link works.
In short No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. No advertising. We don’t collect your videos, photos, or any personal information. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a video you deliberately publish with Share via link — and it is deleted when the link expires or when you end it.
What Videogram works with
Videogram works with videos you record in the app and with videos, Live Photos and images that you choose from your photo library or files. All processing — recording, laying out the two cameras, extracting frames, detecting faces and blurring the background behind you (via Apple’s on-device Vision framework), building grids, trimming, and exporting videos, GIFs and audio — happens entirely on your device using Apple’s AVFoundation and Vision frameworks. None of it is uploaded, unless you create a share link (see below).
Camera and microphone
Videogram uses the camera and microphone only while you record: when you tap Shoot to film with both cameras, or Talk over it to record your face and voice over a video. Recording starts only when you tap the record button, and the cameras turn off when you leave the recording screen. Recordings are saved inside the app on your device; they leave it only if you later create a share link for an export. You can turn camera or microphone access off at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security.
What is stored
Videogram keeps only what’s needed to work: your recordings, temporary files it creates while processing, and the finished exports you explicitly save to your Photos library or Files. These live on your device (and in your own iCloud only if you choose to save them there). Videogram also keeps copies of the last few clips you were editing — up to five — so you can pick up where you left off; they stay on your device, are excluded from iCloud backup, and are removed when you delete them from Recent Edits or when older ones make room for new ones. The developer has no access to any of it.
What we do not collect
- No account, sign-in, name, email, or phone number is required or collected.
- No analytics, usage tracking, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs of any kind.
- No location data.
- Your videos, photos, frames, transcripts, and exports are never sent to the developer or any third‑party server — except a video you choose to share by link (see the next section). Beyond that, the only data that leaves your device is anonymous purchase data handled by Apple and RevenueCat (see below).
Share links
Share via link is optional, and nothing is uploaded until you tap Create Link. When you do, Videogram uploads the exported video, the cover image and name you chose, and the link’s expiry date to a public database in Apple’s iCloud (CloudKit) that belongs to the developer’s Apple developer account. The page that plays the video is served from videogramapp.com through Cloudflare.
- Who can see it. Anyone who has the link can watch the video without signing in. The address is long and unguessable, but it is not private: treat it like any other link you send. Messaging apps may show the name and cover image as a preview.
- How long it lasts. Free links expire after 7 days; Premium links can be set to 7, 30 or 90 days. When a link expires, the video is deleted from the server automatically. You can end a link sooner at any time from Shared Links in the app, which deletes the video immediately.
- What is counted. The viewer page keeps an anonymous count of how many times each link was opened, so the app can show it to you. No names, accounts or IP addresses are stored by Videogram. Cloudflare, which serves the page, processes viewers’ connection data under its own privacy policy, and Apple processes the stored files under Apple’s.
- What the developer can see. To run the service, the developer can see how much storage shared videos use and can remove a link that breaks the Terms of Use. The developer does not browse or analyse shared videos.
- Reporting. Every shared page has a link to report it. You can also write to [email protected] with the link’s address and it will be removed.
Speech recognition (Transcript & Captions)
Transcripts and captions are generated entirely on your device using Apple’s on-device speech recognition. The audio of your video is never uploaded, and the resulting transcript is stored only on your device. On iOS 26 and macOS 26 the app downloads a small language model from Apple the first time you transcribe in a given language; that download contains no data about you. When you transcribe, Videogram reads the audio of the video you are editing — never live sound from the microphone. Transcription is available in English, Italian, Spanish and French.
One thing worth explaining: on some versions of iOS the system permission prompt for speech recognition says that speech data “will be sent to Apple”. That wording is Apple’s, it is fixed by iOS, and it describes the general capability rather than how a particular app uses it. Videogram asks for on-device recognition every time; if a language cannot be recognised on the device, transcription stops with an error instead of falling back to a server.
Photo library access
When you pick media, iOS may ask for permission to access your photo library. Videogram only reads the specific items you select, and only writes back files you ask it to save. It never scans or uploads your library.
Subscriptions & purchases
Videogram offers an optional Premium upgrade (monthly, annual, or one‑time lifetime). Purchases are processed by Apple and managed through RevenueCat, which handles subscription status and receipt validation. Videogram identifies your purchase using an anonymous identifier generated per installation — no personal information (name, email, etc.) is sent. Apple’s standard purchase terms and privacy practices apply to the transaction itself.
Children
Videogram is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date above.
