Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 13, 2026

Overview

WarpWave ("the App") is a camera and creative effects app for iOS. We believe in keeping things simple: we collect as little data as possible, we never sell your information, and your photos stay yours.

This policy explains what information the App collects, how it's used, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Display Names

When you create or participate in a WarpDuel or AI Crossover, you may enter a display name. This is a freeform nickname — we do not require or verify real names, and no account or sign-up is needed to use the App.

Photos & Camera Data

All camera processing (warp scans, mirror effects, waterfall mode, and other effects) happens entirely on your device. Photos and videos you create are saved locally to your device and are not uploaded to our servers unless you use the AI Crossover feature.

AI Crossover

When you use AI Crossover, both players' photos are sent to OpenAI's image editing API to generate a composite scene. These images are transmitted securely and are processed by OpenAI solely to produce the crossover result. WarpWave does not store these images on its own servers. OpenAI's use of this data is governed by OpenAI's API data usage policy, which states that data submitted via the API is not used to train their models.

Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used — for example, which camera modes are most popular and general usage patterns. This data is aggregated and anonymous. It does not include your photos, display names, or any personally identifiable information.

Purchase Information

If you purchase WarpWave Pro or AI Crossover credits, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or have access to your payment details, credit card number, or Apple ID.

Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be explicit about what we don't do:

  • We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, or real names
  • We do not require account creation or sign-up
  • We do not track your location
  • We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with advertisers
  • We do not use your photos for training AI models

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Firebase (Google) — analytics and backend infrastructure
  • OpenAI — image processing for the AI Crossover feature
  • RevenueCat — subscription and purchase management
  • Apple App Store — payment processing

Data Retention

WarpDuel sessions and AI Crossover results are stored temporarily in our database to enable the duel and reveal experience. Expired duels are automatically deleted within 7 days after expiration. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and cannot be tied to individual users.

Children's Privacy

WarpWave does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App does not require account creation or collection of personal data. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

Your Choices

You can stop all data collection by the App at any time by uninstalling it. Since we do not collect personal information or require accounts, there is no account data to delete. If you have used the AI Crossover feature and would like to inquire about your data, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify users through an update to the App. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
