Privacy Policy

Video Blur · Last updated October 28, 2026

Video Blur is an iPhone app made by Rifat Monzur, an individual developer based in Bangladesh (“I” or “me”). This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and who receives it.

Your videos

• When you choose a video from Photos or Files, the app receives only that video. It can’t see the rest of your library.
• Everything you do in the app happens on your iPhone: finding and tracking faces, text and objects, blurring, and saving. Your videos, and anything in them such as faces or text, are never sent to me or to any other service.
• To save a finished video, the app asks for permission to add to your Photos. This permission lets it add new videos, not read your library. Saving creates a new video and doesn’t change your original.
• Videos often record the date, the place and the camera they were filmed with. When you save, you can choose to keep these details in the new video. Location is off unless you turn it on. These details stay in the video file on your iPhone and are not sent to me. The app never reads your iPhone’s own location.

Information the app collects

The app uses the following services to work and to help me improve it. None of them receive your videos.

Usage statistics (Google Firebase Analytics)

Which features you use and how, such as the blur style or save settings you choose, how many faces were covered, and how you answered the question when you first opened the app. It never includes what’s in your videos, such as the text found in them. Firebase also records the screens you view, the app version, your iPhone model, iOS version and language, and your approximate location (country and region), worked out from your internet connection. It uses a random ID created for the app on your iPhone, not Apple’s advertising identifier.

I use this to understand which features people use and what to improve.

Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics)

If the app crashes, a report of what the app was doing at the time, with your iPhone model, iOS version and a random ID for the app installation.

I use this to find and fix crashes.

Notifications (Google Firebase Cloud Messaging)

A token that lets notifications reach your iPhone. The app asks before showing any notifications, and you can change your choice at any time in the Settings app.

I use this to send occasional notifications about the app.

Design tests (Google Firebase Remote Config and A/B Testing)

When you first open the app, it asks Firebase Remote Config which version of its first screens to show. This lets me try a new design with some people and compare it with the current one. To answer, Remote Config receives a random ID for the app installation, your iPhone’s region and language settings, time zone and iOS version, the app version, and details Firebase Analytics has already recorded, such as when you first opened the app. The version you were shown is added to your usage statistics.

I use this to find out which design helps more people get started, for example how many start a free trial with each.

Purchases (RevenueCat)

The app uses RevenueCat to show prices and manage the Premium subscription. RevenueCat receives a random ID it creates for you, your App Store country, the app version, your iPhone model and iOS version, and your purchase history in the app (plan, dates, price and currency). If you’re part of a design test, it also receives which version you were shown. If you found the app through an Apple Search Ads ad, RevenueCat also receives a token from Apple’s AdServices framework that tells me which ad campaign led to the download. This doesn’t use Apple’s advertising identifier.

I use this to know whether Premium is active, to restore purchases, and to see which campaigns bring people to the app.

Email

If you email me, for example with Send Feedback, Request a Tutorial or the Home Screen “Deleting App?” option, I receive your email address and whatever you write. I use it only to reply to you and improve the app.

Apple

Apple handles all payments. I never see your card or other payment details. If you’ve turned on Share with App Developers in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements, Apple also shares crash and usage data with me. Apple’s own privacy policy covers this.

What the app doesn’t collect

• Your videos or photos, or the faces and text in them
• Your name, phone number or contacts, or your email address unless you email me
• Your iPhone’s location
• Apple’s advertising identifier (IDFA)

Who receives your information

• Only the services named above, which process it for me: Google (Firebase privacy, Google Privacy Policy) and RevenueCat (RevenueCat Privacy Policy).
• I don’t sell your information, share it for advertising, or combine it with information from other companies to track you.
• I may disclose information if the law requires it.

These services may store and process information in the United States and other countries, under their own safeguards.

How long it’s kept

• Usage statistics: up to 14 months. Summary reports, which don’t identify anyone, may be kept longer.
• Crash reports: 90 days.
• Design tests: Firebase keeps the random installation ID until I delete it, and then removes it within 180 days. The version you were shown is kept with your usage statistics and purchase records.
• Purchase records: as long as needed to provide your subscription and for tax and accounting.
• Notification tokens: until they’re no longer used.
• Emails: as long as needed to help you. You can ask me to delete them.

Your choices and rights

• Turn notifications on or off, and change the app’s Photos access, in the Settings app.
• Deleting the app removes its random IDs from your iPhone, so anything collected later can’t be connected to what was collected before.
• Depending on where you live, for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your information, or to object to how it’s used. Because the app doesn’t know who you are, I can’t look up your information by name. Email me and I’ll do what I can to find and delete it.
• If you’re in the European Union or the United Kingdom: I process usage statistics, crash reports and design tests because I have a legitimate interest in keeping the app working and improving it, purchase records to provide the subscription you bought, and notifications with your consent.

Children

Video Blur isn’t directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, for example by email, contact me and I’ll delete it.

Security

Information sent to the services above is encrypted on its way. No system is perfectly secure, but I and these services take reasonable steps to protect it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, I’ll post the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
