OpticOwl
YOUR SETTINGS.
ON YOUR DEVICE.
Privacy Policy · Updated November 12, 2026
This policy covers OpticOwl for iPhone and Apple Watch, beta testing, this website and support. The developer is Jan Huber; contact details are in the Impressum.
Using the app
OpticOwl has no accounts, advertising, tracking or developer-installed analytics. We do not receive your camera settings or profiles. The app does not access your camera, photos or location.
Settings and Watch sync
Camera profiles, custom values, exposure settings and preferences are saved locally. Profiles and related settings are transferred to your paired Apple Watch using Apple’s WatchConnectivity service. This does not send them to us. Device backups are managed by your operating system and Apple account settings.
You can delete profiles in the app or restore the bundled values using Reset Profiles. Deleting the app removes its local data; copies on your Watch or in backups are managed separately.
Preview and time zone
The illustrated preview uses your device’s clock and time zone with a bundled table of representative places to estimate sky colours. It does not determine your actual location, request location permission or contact a weather service.
Apple services and beta testing
Apple handles App Store downloads. Depending on your sharing settings, Apple may provide crash reports and aggregated app statistics. We use available reports to investigate problems.
TestFlight collects and shares beta usage and crash information with developers. Feedback can include your message, contact details and screenshots. We use it to improve the app and respond to feedback. See TestFlight & Privacy and App Analytics & Privacy.
Contact and support
If you use the support form, we receive your name, email address and message. The form sends these, along with page identifiers, to Basin (Moonshot Ventures, Inc.) for delivery and spam prevention. Basin also processes technical connection information such as your IP address. Our email service processes the resulting correspondence.
We use this information to answer and resolve your request, not for advertising. We retain correspondence as needed for that purpose and applicable obligations. You can contact us to request access, correction or deletion, subject to legal requirements. Please do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive information. See Basin’s privacy policy.
This website
GitHub Pages serves the website and its locally hosted video, processing technical request information for delivery and security. These OpticOwl pages do not load analytics scripts or third-party video players. Submitting the support form opens Basin’s response page. External links are subject to the destination’s privacy rules.
See GitHub’s privacy statement and the general website privacy policy.
