Privacy Policy — Haunted: Ghost Camera

Contact: privacy@zerodelta.app

This Privacy Policy explains how Zero Delta (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use the Haunted: Ghost Camera iOS application (“Haunted” or the “App”).

By using Haunted, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who this App is for

Haunted is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Dread mode is for people 17 or older. Playful mode can remain available if you leave Dread sealed. The App Store age rating is set separately in App Store Connect.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

2. Photos and Hunt

Photos stay on your phone unless you choose Hunt. Before the first photo is sent, Haunted asks for your explicit permission in the App.

When you Hunt, the JPEG is sent in memory to our Cloud Function and then to a third-party AI service solely to add a fictional apparition. The resulting haunted image is returned to your device. We do not save the original photo or haunted photo on our servers after the request finishes.

You may choose to keep copies in Haunted’s in-app gallery or save them to your Camera Roll. Those copies remain on your device until you delete them.

3. Listen / Spirit Kit

Listen uses your microphone to record on your device. Speech is converted to text on the phone. Before the first Listen question is sent, Haunted asks for your explicit permission in the App.

The words from your question are sent to a third-party AI service solely to generate a short fictional reply and voice clip for entertainment. We do not save the recording, question, reply, or voice clip on our servers after the request finishes.

4. On-device face and age check

Before a photo can be sent through Hunt, Haunted performs a face and age check on the device so pictures of people can be refused. The check and its result do not leave your device. It is a safety filter, not an identity or biometric identification system.

5. Account information and leaderboard

• If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may provide a name and email address, including an Apple private-relay address if you choose Hide My Email.
• If you do not sign in, Haunted uses an anonymous Firebase user ID to operate your account.
• The leaderboard stores a handle and score. It does not store pictures.

6. Purchases

Monthly and yearly subscriptions and the five-haunting pack are billed through the Apple App Store. RevenueCat helps us confirm your entitlement and purchase status. Apple handles your payment details; we do not receive or store your full payment-card information. You can restore purchases in Settings or by tapping Restore on the paywall.

7. Night knocks and diagnostics

Night knocks are local scheduled alerts created on your phone. They are not server push notifications. Haunted does not collect push tokens or quiet-hours settings.

Anonymous usage analytics. Starting with version 1.0.3, Haunted counts anonymous product events, such as a photo being taken or a share finishing, using TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service based in the EU. These events use a random identifier that is hashed on your device. They do not include your name, email address, photos, audio, or location, and they are not used for advertising or tracking across other apps or websites. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Share anonymous usage. Haunted does not include advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.

We may receive limited operational records necessary to complete requests, protect the service from abuse, and troubleshoot failures. Those records do not include the photo, recording, question, or reply after the request finishes.

8. How we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

• Provide Hunt, Listen / Spirit Kit, the in-app gallery, and the seeker dossier
• Maintain your account, leaderboard handle and score, and purchase entitlements
• Enforce fair use, generation limits, security, and abuse prevention
• Respond to support, privacy, and deletion requests
• Comply with law and protect users, Zero Delta, and the service

9. Sharing and AI training

We share data only as needed with:

1. A third-party AI service, to generate the photo effect or fictional Listen reply and voice clip you request
2. Cloud infrastructure and account providers to operate the App and its accounts
3. Apple and RevenueCat to process and confirm purchases
4. Authorities when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and security

We do not sell your photos or personal information. We do not use photos of your rooms to train a public model. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

10. Retention and deletion

Photos, recordings, questions, replies, and generated voice clips are processed for the request and are not saved on our servers after it finishes. In-app gallery photos and the seeker dossier remain on your device until you delete them. Account, leaderboard, and entitlement records remain while your account exists or as needed for legal and fraud- prevention obligations.

Settings → Delete my data erases in-app photos, your seeker dossier, and your server account. Copies you saved to the Camera Roll stay in Apple Photos until you delete them there. Purchases and transaction records remain with Apple; deleting Haunted data does not cancel a subscription or erase Apple’s purchase history.

You may also email privacy@zerodelta.app to request access, correction, or deletion. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

11. Security

We use safeguards appropriate to a consumer entertainment app, including encrypted transit, authenticated service calls, and server-side storage of provider credentials. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

12. International users (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Legal bases: we rely on performance of our contract to provide the App, legitimate interests in security, fraud prevention, and reliability, legal obligations, and consent where required, including the in-app permissions before the first Hunt photo and the first Listen question are sent.

International transfers: data may be processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate transfer mechanisms.

13. California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit beyond providing the App’s requested features.

To exercise your rights, email privacy@zerodelta.app. You will not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

14. Entertainment disclaimer, changes, and contact

All apparitions, replies, and voice clips are AI-generated fictional effects. Haunted is for entertainment only and does not detect, claim, or document real paranormal activity.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
