Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026 (View History)

Viewing the Android version — switch to iOS

This Privacy Policy tells you what happens with your information when you use Photographers Light Table (the "App"). William Termini (ABN 47 283 458 067) ("we", "us", "our") makes and operates the App.

This policy is a notice, not a consent form. The App asks for advertising consent separately, through Google's consent form. You can change that consent at any time. The App has no license agreement of its own. The Google Play Terms of Service apply: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/

For the GDPR and the UK GDPR, the data controller is William Termini (ABN 47 283 458 067), Australia, at appstore@termini.me. Google is a separate data controller for the advertising data below. Google decides how it uses that data.

1. What Is Collected

We collect nothing ourselves. We run no analytics and no crash reporting. Your settings and saved scenes stay on your device. Scene files you export go where you choose. If you delete the App, its local data is deleted.

Google AdMob shows the advertisements in the App and collects this data:

  • IP address. Google can use it to estimate the general location of the device.
  • Product interactions: app launch, taps, and video views.
  • Diagnostics: crash logs, launch time, hang rate, and energy use of the App and the ads SDK.
  • Identifiers: the Google advertising ID, the app set ID, and identifiers for signed-in accounts on the device.

Some of this data, such as identifiers and IP address, can be personal information under laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA. Google processes it under its own privacy policy (https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/) and its partner-sites notice (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

Google Play processes purchases (Section 3).

Retention. We hold no personal information, so there is nothing for us to keep or delete on our systems. Google keeps the data above under its own retention schedule.

International transfers. Google can process this data outside your country, including in the United States, under Google's safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We transfer no data ourselves.

The advertising ID. Android gives every device a resettable advertising ID. You control it outside the App, in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, where you can reset it or delete it entirely. Deleting it stops personalised advertising from using it, and apps are told it is gone. This is separate from the advertising consent form described above, which you can revisit at any time from the App's own Settings.

2. Remote Control and Your Local Network

Remote Control is optional and off by default. When you start it, the App runs a small server on your device.

  • Nearby device access is on unless you turn it off. While it is on, the App announces your device's name and local network address, so other light tables can find it. Your device's name often contains your own name.
  • Devices that connect can view, change, save, rename, delete, and export your light table settings and saved scenes. A connected device can download a copy of your whole scene library. That copy is then outside our control.
  • Anyone who can reach your device on the network can do this, unless you turn on the optional PIN.
  • Remote Control traffic on your local network is not encrypted. This includes the PIN. Use the feature only on networks you trust.
  • This traffic goes directly between the devices. None of it comes to us, to Google, or to anyone else.

When you open the Remote Control screen, the App also looks for other light tables on the same network and shows the names they advertise. Android may ask for permission to find nearby devices the first time. The Android app finds tables only over the network you are connected to; it has no direct device-to-device mode.

3. In-App Purchases

The one-time "Premium" purchase removes advertisements. You can restore it on your other devices with Restore Purchases in Settings. Google Play handles all payments and refunds under Google's terms and privacy policy. We never see your payment details.

4. How the Data Is Used

Google uses the data in Section 1 to serve advertisements in the App. We do not receive it and we do not disclose it, except where the law requires disclosure or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or safety, or the rights or safety of others. What Google does with it is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

5. Your Rights — EEA, UK, and Switzerland

This section applies if you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. References to the GDPR include the UK GDPR and the equivalent provisions of the Swiss FADP.

Legal basis. Personalised advertising, and storage on your device for advertising, rely on your consent, given through Google's consent form (IAB TCF Purposes 1, 3, and 4). You can review or withdraw consent at any time in Settings → Ad Privacy. Without consent, the App requests only limited ads, which use no device storage. Personalised advertising involves profiling. We make no solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Your rights. You have the rights the GDPR gives you: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and the right to withdraw consent. You also have the right to complain to your supervisory authority — the ICO in the UK, the FDPIC in Switzerland, or your national authority in the EEA.

How to use them. We hold no personal data about you, so we cannot ourselves show, correct, or delete advertising data. Contact us at appstore@termini.me and we will tell you how to put your request to Google. You can also delete the advertising ID yourself in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Your scenes and settings are already under your control: Settings → Back up scenes exports them, and Settings → Delete all data erases them. We may ask you to verify your identity. We respond within one month.

6. US State Privacy Rights

This section applies if you live in a US state with a privacy law, such as California.

What is collected. In the last 12 months, Google AdMob collected these CCPA/CPRA categories through the App: identifiers (IP address, the Google advertising ID) and internet activity (app interactions, crash logs, performance data). We collect none of it and hold none of it. We do not collect sensitive personal information.

Sale and sharing. We do not sell your personal information for money. Passing advertising identifiers to Google for cross-context behavioral advertising counts as "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA.

Your rights. Depending on your state, you can know, delete, or correct personal information, and you can opt out of sale or sharing. To opt out in the App, use Settings → Ad Privacy → Manage ad privacy, where your region's consent framework shows it. If you do not see it, or for any other request, email appstore@termini.me. You can use an authorized agent; we may ask for proof of their authority. We do not treat you differently for using a right. We respond within 45 days.

Do Not Track. The App is not a browser, so it does not receive Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. The in-app control above is the way to opt out. Your choice is stored on your device in the standard format Google's SDK reads.

7. Children

The App is a photography tool for a general audience. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. The App does not ask your age. If you believe a child has used the App, contact us at appstore@termini.me and we will tell you how to put the request to Google. You can also delete the advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

8. Security

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. We hold no personal information about you, which limits what can be exposed from our side.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we make a material change, the App asks you to review the new policy before you continue. Minor changes take effect when posted. The date at the top shows the current version.

10. Contact

Send questions about this policy or the App to William Termini (ABN 47 283 458 067), Australia, at appstore@termini.me.

Nothing in this policy limits any right or remedy that the law does not allow us to exclude, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
