The short version
- We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information.
- The app streams video and audio from your phone only to devices on your local Wi-Fi network.
- Nothing is uploaded to us or to any cloud service.
- There are no ads, no analytics, and no third-party trackers.
- Your settings are saved only on your phone.
Who we are
Mimar Logics Private Limited (“Mimar Logics”, “we”, “us”) publishes the RTSP Camera Android application. For the very limited extent that any “processing” of personal data could be said to occur in connection with the app, Mimar Logics acts as the data controller.
You can reach our privacy contact at [email protected].
Scope
This policy applies to the RTSP Camera Android application (package
com.mimarlogics.rtspcam) distributed through Google Play and any direct APK or AAB downloads we publish ourselves.This policy does not apply to:
- Third-party RTSP players (for example VLC) that you may use to connect to the app's stream.
- Your home, workplace, or carrier network operator, who may have their own privacy practices.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly
None. The app has no account system, no sign-up, no login, no in-app forms, and no in-app messaging. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal detail.
Information collected automatically
None that leaves your device. The app does not read your device identifiers, advertising ID (AAID), precise or approximate location, contacts, calendar, SMS messages, or call logs. It does not embed any analytics, attribution, or advertising SDK.
Camera and microphone content
When you start a streaming session, the app captures live video from the camera and live audio from the microphone, encodes them to H.264 and AAC, and broadcasts the resulting stream over RTSP only on your local Wi-Fi network. The stream is not recorded to your device's gallery, not saved as a file, and not transmitted to Mimar Logics or any third party. When you stop streaming, the in-memory data is discarded.
Settings stored locally
Your streaming preferences — resolution, bitrate, framerate, RTSP port, stream path, camera selection, and similar — are saved using Android's
DataStore in the app's private sandbox on your device. You can remove these at any time by clearing the app's data in Android Settings or by uninstalling the app.Crash and performance data via Google Play
The app itself does not integrate a crash-reporting SDK such as Firebase Crashlytics or Sentry. However, if you have opted in to share usage and diagnostics with Google, the Android operating system may forward anonymised crash signatures to the Google Play Console automatically. We may view those aggregate, anonymised reports inside Play Console, but we cannot link them to you as an individual.
How we use information
Because we do not collect personal data, this section is short. Locally-stored settings are used only to remember your preferences between sessions. In-memory camera and audio data is used only to produce the live RTSP stream that you have explicitly started. Nothing is profiled, sold, or used for advertising — none of those activities take place at all.
Permissions explained
Android requires apps to request permissions even for entirely on-device functionality. Each permission below is requested for a specific, narrow purpose tied to running the local RTSP stream — none are used to send data to us or anywhere else.
| Android permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
CAMERA | Capture the live video feed that is being streamed. |
RECORD_AUDIO | Capture the live audio that accompanies the video stream. |
INTERNET | Open a local TCP socket so the on-device RTSP server can accept connections from viewers on the same Wi-Fi network. (Android requires this permission to bind any network socket, even for purely local serving.) |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Detect whether the phone is connected to a network so the app can show or hide the streaming URL. |
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | Read the device's Wi-Fi IP address so the streaming URL can be displayed to the user. |
WAKE_LOCK | Keep the CPU awake while a stream is active so the feed does not stall when the screen turns off. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE | Run the streaming session as a foreground service with a persistent notification — required by Android when the camera and microphone are used in the background. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Show the persistent “streaming is live” notification on Android 13+. |
Hardware features declared:
android.hardware.camera (required), android.hardware.camera.autofocus (optional), android.hardware.microphone (required), android.hardware.wifi (optional).Data retention
- On-device settings: retained until you clear the app's data in Android Settings or uninstall the app.
- Camera and audio content: not retained — encoded frames are discarded as soon as they are sent to a connected viewer.
- Server-side retention: none — there is no server.
Security
All app data lives in Android's per-app private storage, protected by the operating system sandbox. Cleartext HTTP traffic is disabled at the manifest level (
android:usesCleartextTraffic="false"), and Android backup is disabled (android:allowBackup="false") so your settings cannot be silently copied to another device.Important — RTSP is not encrypted
The RTSP protocol itself does not encrypt the stream. Anyone on the same Wi-Fi network as the phone can receive your video and audio if they discover the stream URL. On shared, public, or untrusted Wi-Fi networks, treat the stream as visible to everyone on that network. We strongly recommend running the app only on networks you control and trust.
Children's privacy
The app is a general-audience utility tool. It is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from any user, including children — and as described above, we do not collect personal data from anyone.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has used the app inappropriately, please contact us at [email protected]. Because no personal data is collected, there is nothing for us to delete on our side, but we will help you understand the app's behaviour.
Your rights
Regardless of where you live — including the EU and UK (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), Canada (PIPEDA), Australia (Australian Privacy Principles), and Brazil (LGPD) — you have the following rights in connection with the app:
- Access any personal data we hold about you — in this case, none.
- Deletion of your data — in this case, uninstalling the app removes all locally-stored settings.
- Object to processing or withdraw consent — by revoking the app's permissions in Android Settings or uninstalling the app.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
If you have any questions about how the app handles your data, email [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.
International users
Mimar Logics is based in Pakistan. Because no data is transmitted off your device by the app, no international data transfer occurs as a result of using RTSP Camera.
Third-party services
At the time of this version, the app does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting SDKs.
If you obtained the app through Google Play, Google's own privacy policy governs the Play Store transaction itself. You can read it at policies.google.com/privacy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change. Material changes will also be reflected in the release notes of the next app version on Google Play. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
