Effective date: September 14, 2026
Pose Amigo ("the app", "we", "our") is developed by Elderfield Studios. This policy explains what data the app handles, how, and why. It applies to the Android app distributed on Google Play under the package name com.elderfieldstudios.poseamigo.
Pose Amigo lets two people connect their phones over a local network (personal hotspot or the same Wi-Fi) so one person can see, in real time, the exact live camera view the other person is framing. This helps the person being photographed match a pose before the shot is taken. Devices connect by scanning a QR code generated by the host device — there is no server in between.
| Data type | What happens to it | Sent to our servers? | Stored? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live camera video | Streamed directly, phone-to-phone, over your local Wi-Fi or hotspot connection. Each frame is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before it leaves the sending device and decrypted only on the receiving device. | No | No — each frame is displayed and immediately discarded. Nothing is written to disk or kept after the session ends. |
| Session pairing data (QR code contents: a one-time encryption key, connection token, and local IP address) | Generated on your device for a single session, embedded in the QR code your friend scans to connect. Used only to establish the direct phone-to-phone connection. | No | No — discarded when the session ends. A new one is generated every time. |
| Photos from your gallery (guide image) | If you choose to pick a reference photo from your device's gallery to use as a pose guide, that photo is displayed as an overlay on your camera preview. The combined image — your live camera view with the guide overlaid on top — is what gets streamed to your friend's device, the same way the plain camera feed is. Each frame is encrypted before it leaves your device. | No | No — each combined frame is displayed on your friend's device and immediately discarded. Nothing is written to disk or kept after the session ends. |
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, files, or any other personal information. Pose Amigo has no account system, no login, and no way to identify who you are.
If you choose to save a photo to your device's gallery, the app writes it using Android's MediaStore system, which does not require a separate storage permission on the Android versions this app supports.
If you choose to pick a guide image from your gallery, the app uses Android's built-in photo picker. This lets you select a single photo without granting the app broad access to your entire photo library, and does not require a separate storage permission on the Android versions this app supports.
Pose Amigo does not use any advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting services. No data collected by the app is shared with, or sold to, any third party. Your camera feed goes to exactly one place: the other device in your paired session.
We do not operate any server that stores your data, so there is nothing on our end to retain or delete. Video frames and session keys exist only in your device's memory during an active session and are discarded when the session ends or the app is closed.
Pose Amigo is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. Because the app collects no personal information from any user, there is no account data tied to a child's identity to begin with.
All video and session data transmitted between devices is encrypted in transit using AES-256-GCM. The connection stays on your local network — it does not route through the public internet or any cloud service.
Because Pose Amigo does not store any user data after a session ends, there is no stored data to access, export, or request deletion of. If you have questions about how the app handles data during an active session, contact us using the details below.
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and post the revised version at this same URL.
