Nyancorder Privacy Policy
- The app doesn’t collect personal information. There’s no sign-up or sign-in, and it never asks for your name, email address, or phone number. The app does not communicate with any server of ours.
- Your photos and videos are processed only on your device. Filters are applied on the device, and the results are saved to your Photos app (the Gallery on Android). Nothing is sent to us.
- The only personal information we receive is email you send us. If you email us, we keep your email address and message to reply and keep a record (3 years after we reply; we use Gmail).
- Sharing happens only when you tap a button. When you tap Share or Instagram Story, the file goes directly from your device to the app you choose.
- Apple (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) handles payments. We never receive your card details or anything that identifies who made a purchase.
- No ads, no tracking, no analytics tools. We do not collect advertising identifiers (IDFA or Android Advertising ID) or location data.

This policy explains how the developer and operator of the Nyancorder app ("we") handle information when you use the app. Nyancorder is operated by an individual developer based in the Republic of Korea.
1. Information on your device
The app uses your device’s features only on the device, for these purposes, and keeps the following information only on your device. None of it is sent to us, and we cannot see it.
| Information | Where it is kept | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Photos and videos you take (with the filter and date/time text applied; videos include sound) | Your Photos app (on Android, the Nyancorder folders in your Gallery: Pictures/냥코더 and Movies/냥코더) | The camera is used to take photos and videos with a camcorder-style filter, and the microphone to record sound for videos. On iPhone the app asks only for permission to add to your photo library; on Android it saves without asking for any photo or storage permission. Either way it cannot read your other photos. |
| The video you just recorded (iPhone only) | The app’s temporary folder, until your next capture | So you can play it back in the full-screen viewer |
| App settings (the last filter you chose, whether to keep showing the video-recording tip) | The app’s storage on your device, until you delete the app | To pick up where you left off |
| A photo or video you send to Instagram Stories (iPhone only; on Android the file is handed to Instagram directly, without the clipboard) | Your device’s clipboard, deleted automatically after 5 minutes (immediately if Instagram can’t be opened) | To hand the file to Instagram |
Camera access is required to take pictures. Microphone and photo library access are optional: without the microphone, videos have no sound; on iPhone, without photo access, your captures won’t be saved to the Photos app. On Android, the app also uses the Internet and Google Play Billing permissions, which are granted at install without asking, only to process the “Remove Logo” purchase through the Google Play Store app. You can change permissions at any time in Settings > Nyancorder on iPhone, or Settings > Apps > Nyancorder > Permissions on Android (menu names vary by device).
Date and time — Some filters stamp the date and time from your device’s clock onto the photo or video. The app does not use location data.
We never receive payment details. Apple (on iPhone) or Google Play (on Android) processes the “Remove Logo” purchase, and the app checks on the device whether you’ve bought it using the purchase record it gets from the App Store or Google Play Store app; this does not go through any server of ours. We do not receive card or bank information or anything that identifies who made a purchase. Apple Inc. or Google LLC contracts with you directly for the payment and keeps the original payment records, which you can see in your Apple Account purchase history or in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions > Budget & history.
Crash reports — If you turn on “Share With App Developers” in your device settings, Apple may share app crash and usage statistics (such as device model, OS version, and the app’s state when an error occurred) with us. Apple collects this and provides it in a form that does not identify you, and we use it only to fix bugs. You can turn it off in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements. On Android, if you turn on “Usage & diagnostics” on your device, Google may collect similar crash and app-not-responding statistics and show them to us in Google Play Console in a form that does not identify you; you can turn it off in your device’s Google settings.
2. Email you send us
| Information | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address, your message (and any attachments), and when you sent it | To reply to you and keep a record of support requests such as purchase or bug issues | 3 years after we reply, then deleted |
We receive and store email with Gmail, provided by Google LLC, so your message is stored on Google’s servers in the United States and other countries. If you’d rather not, simply don’t email us — every feature of the app works without it.
3. Sharing
We do not sell or share your information with third parties. Apart from Google (Gmail) for email, we do not use service providers that process personal information for us.
When you share a photo or video with the app’s share button or to Instagram Stories, it goes directly from your device to the app you choose; it does not pass through us. After that, the receiving app’s privacy policy applies (for Instagram, that of Meta Platforms, Inc.). When sending to Instagram Stories, the app also passes along a public app number issued by Meta; it identifies the app, not you.
4. Tracking and advertising
The app does not use cookies, advertising identifiers (IDFA or Android Advertising ID), analytics tools, or any tracking technology, and does not show ads. We do not make automated decisions that affect your rights.
5. Security
The app does not communicate with any server of ours and does not send photos, videos, or settings off your device. On iPhone it asks only for permission to add to your photo library, and on Android it asks for no photo or storage permission, so it cannot read your other photos. Only the operator can access the support mailbox. On iPhone, files placed on the clipboard for Instagram Stories are deleted after 5 minutes, and the temporary video file is deleted at your next capture.
6. Your rights and choices
You can ask to access, correct, or delete your information, or ask us to stop processing it, by emailing sokurihj@gmail.com. The only personal information we hold is email you’ve sent us, so we’ll find the messages from your address and act on them. We do not charge for requests and will respond within 30 days.
You can delete photos and videos in the Photos app (the Gallery on Android), and remove the app’s settings and temporary files by deleting the app. You can turn off camera, microphone, and photo library access at any time in your device’s settings.
Depending on where you live (for example, California or other U.S. states), you may have additional rights under local law. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
7. Children
The app does not ask for information that identifies you. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that an email came from a child under 13, we will use it only to reply and will delete it on a parent’s or guardian’s request.
8. Changes to this policy
We will post any changes on this page at least 7 days before they take effect, and at least 30 days before for significant changes.
