Privacy Policy
Camly ("the app") streams your iPhone's camera, microphone, and screen directly to your PC so they can be used as a webcam source in video-conferencing and recording apps. This page explains what personal data the app handles.
Summary
- We do not run any server. Video and audio go directly from the iPhone to the PC over the local network (Wi-Fi) or the Lightning / USB-C cable (USB). Nothing routes through third-party infrastructure.
- No analytics, telemetry, or crash reports. The app makes no outbound network requests other than the direct stream to your chosen PC.
- No data is sold or shared. There is no data to sell or share.
