Privacy

Angles lets a group of people film the same event on their own phones and turns the footage into one video. This page says what Angles collects, why, who can see it, and how to get it deleted. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking.

What Angles collects

• The video and sound you add to a shoot. When you film in Angles or add videos from your library, your phone makes smaller copies of each clip and sends them to our servers so they can be lined up with everyone else's. If your phone cannot make those copies, the original file is sent instead, including any details saved inside it, which can include where it was filmed.
• The first name you type in. It is shown to the other people in your shoot.
• A random ID for your copy of the app. It is made on your phone, is not linked to your phone number, email or advertising ID, and is how a shoot knows which clips are yours.
• Details about each clip: when it was recorded, how long it is, and the make, model and system version of the phone that filmed it. These are used to line clips up and tell cameras apart.
• While you have a shoot's camera open: a small still image from your camera about once a second, your battery level and free storage. These go only to the person running the shoot so they can see every camera. The still is replaced each time and is not kept as a recording.
• Crash and error reports. If the app crashes or an upload fails, it sends a report to Sentry, a service that collects crash reports for us. A report holds technical details (what went wrong, the phone model and system version, the app version), your app's random ID and the first name you typed in. Reports are used only to fix problems and are not used for advertising.
• Basic server logs, such as your IP address and the time of a request, kept for a short time to keep the service running and stop abuse.

Angles does not ask for your location, contacts, email address or phone number, and does not use analytics or advertising software (crash reports are the only exception, above). On Android, the QR scanner is Google's, and it sends Google some technical information about how the scanner is working.

Who can see your footage

• Everyone in the shoot can see and use every clip added to it. Anyone with the shoot's join code or invite link can join, and can watch the synced video on the invite page without joining, so share them only with people you want in.
• Anyone with the link can watch a video once the person running the shoot publishes it. Published videos are not listed anywhere or searchable.
• We look at footage only when we have to: to fix a problem you report, to review a video that has been reported to us, or when the law requires it.

We do not sell your information or use your footage for advertising or to train AI models.

Where it is stored and for how long

Footage is stored with Cloudflare, which runs our servers. Clips are kept for 30 days after the last activity in a shoot and are then deleted. Finished videos, and videos that have been published, are kept until they are deleted by the person who ran the shoot or by us.

Deleting your footage

• You can delete a clip you added from inside the app.
• The person running a shoot can delete the whole shoot, remove a person from it, or take a published video down.
• You can also email privacy@shootangles.com and we will delete your clips, or tell you what we hold. Because there are no accounts, please include the shoot's code or link and your name in it.

Copies that other people have already saved to their own phones are outside our control.

People who appear in videos

If you appear in a video made with Angles and want it taken down, use the Report link on the video's page or email privacy@shootangles.com.

Children

Angles is not for use by children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Adults often film children's events; if you do, you are responsible for having the agreement of the parents or guardians of the children you film and share.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before it takes effect. Questions: privacy@shootangles.com.
