Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

KinetiPix ("the app") is an Android app by Echlon Labs that brings printed photos to life: point your camera at a photo and an animation plays over it in augmented reality. This policy explains what the app accesses, what it stores, and what it shares.

In short: KinetiPix works entirely on your device. It has no internet permission, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. Your camera feed and photos never leave your phone, and we do not receive any of your data.

Information the app uses

Camera. KinetiPix uses the camera only while you are on the scanning screen, to recognize photos and keep the animation aligned with them. Camera frames are processed in real time on your device and are not recorded, saved or transmitted.
Photos you add. If you add your own photo, either by choosing it from your gallery or by taking a picture of a print, the app saves a cropped copy in its private storage on your device so it can recognize that photo later. The photo is not uploaded anywhere. Choosing from the gallery uses Android's system photo picker, which gives the app access only to the photo you select.
Animation content. Animations that come with the app are stored on your device and encrypted with a key held in your device's secure hardware (Android Keystore). They are decrypted only in memory while they play.
Preferences. Settings such as sound on/off, scan hints, haptic feedback and whether you have completed the first scan are stored locally on your device.
Vibration. The app uses vibration for a short confirmation when a photo is recognized. This does not involve any data.

What KinetiPix does NOT do

It does not connect to the internet. The app does not request Android's internet permission.
It does not require or create an account.
It does not collect analytics, usage statistics, crash reports, location or contacts.
It does not show ads or use advertising identifiers.
It does not sell, share or transfer your data to anyone. We, Echlon Labs, never receive it.
It does not include its data in Android cloud backups or device-to-device transfers. Your photos and animations stay on the device where you added them.

Third parties involved

Google Play Services for AR (ARCore). This application runs on Google Play Services for AR (ARCore), which is provided by Google LLC and governed by the Google Privacy Policy. ARCore is installed and updated by Google Play as a separate app.
Google Play. If you install KinetiPix from Google Play, Google may collect information about the installation under its own privacy policy. KinetiPix itself does not receive that information.

Data retention & deletion

Everything KinetiPix stores stays on your device until you remove it. You can delete a photo you added from inside the app, or remove all app data at any time by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it. Because we never receive your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. See Delete Your Data for step-by-step instructions.

Security

App data lives in Android's private, per-app storage, which other apps cannot read. Bundled animation content is additionally encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key that never leaves your device's secure hardware.

Children's privacy

KinetiPix does not collect personal information from anyone, including children. Photos you add stay on your device.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. If a future version of the app ever needs to send data off your device, this policy will be updated before that version is released.
