Privacy Policy
Overview
AR Mirror is an augmented reality experience developed by Reality Experience Design. The app uses Snap's Camera Kit SDK to deliver real-time AR effects (Lenses) through an iPad's front-facing camera. It is designed as a kiosk/mirror installation and requires no account creation, login, or registration of any kind.
Camera Usage
The app accesses the device's front-facing camera to render AR Lenses via Snap's Camera Kit engine. Facial feature detection is used solely for AR effect placement. The camera feed is processed locally on the device in real time. Raw camera data is never stored or transmitted — only user-initiated captures (photos and short videos) are saved.
Device Sensors
The app reads device motion data (gyroscope and accelerometer) to support AR effect positioning and tracking. This sensor data is processed locally on the device and is not stored or transmitted.
Photo and Video Capture and Storage
When a user taps the capture button, a photo or short video (up to 5 seconds) is taken. The user may then choose to save the capture via a QR code. If they do, the following occurs:
- The photo (JPEG, compressed) or video (MP4, HEVC-compressed) is uploaded to Google Firebase Cloud Storage.
- A QR code is displayed on screen linking to a download page hosted on Google Firebase Hosting.
- A temporary session entry (a randomly generated ID with no personal information) is written to Google Firebase Realtime Database to detect when the QR code has been scanned.
Uploaded media files contain no personal identifiers — no name, account, location, or device information is attached. Session entries in the Realtime Database are deleted when the preview screen is dismissed. Uploaded media files are automatically deleted from Firebase Cloud Storage within 24 hours via a Google Cloud lifecycle rule.
If the user dismisses the preview without tapping save, no data is uploaded anywhere.
Data We Do Not Collect
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- Location or GPS data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- IP addresses (beyond what is inherently transmitted in any network request)
- Cookies or tracking pixels
- Account or login credentials
No account creation or registration is required to use this app. No tracking cookies are used.
Network Connectivity
The app monitors the device's internet connectivity status locally to determine whether the QR save feature is available. This status is not transmitted or stored.
