Privacy Policy – Stop Motion Stage
Last updated: November 1, 2026
Stop Motion Stage is a stop-motion movie app for iPhone, made by Berkay Erdinç. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app.
The short version: we do not collect any of your data. The app has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your movies stay on your device.
What the app does not collect
- No name, email or account. There is no sign-in.
- No usage analytics, advertising IDs or tracking of any kind.
- No location.
- We run no servers that receive your photos, movies, sounds or settings.
What stays on your device
- Your movies and photos. Frames you take, sounds you add and your projects are saved only on your device. They are not uploaded anywhere.
- Your settings, such as shutter sound or default speed, are saved on your device.
- If you delete the app, its projects are deleted too. Export a movie to Photos to keep a copy.
Permissions the app asks for
The app asks only when you use a feature that needs it. You can change each permission any time in the iPhone Settings app.
| Permission | Why | What happens to the data |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | To take the photos that become your movie. | Photos are saved in your project on your device. |
| Microphone | To record a voice-over, and to hear a clap or a loud "Snap!" when you take photos hands-free. | A voice-over is saved in your project. The sound used for the hands-free shutter is only checked for loudness on the device as it happens; it is never recorded, saved or sent. |
| Photos (add) | To save your finished movies and photos to your photo library. | Saved only to your library. |
| Photos you pick | To add photos or videos to your movie, the app opens Apple's photo picker. It needs no permission and the app sees only what you pick. | Only the items you pick are copied into your project. |
| Music | To add a song you pick from your library to your movie. | Only the song you pick is used, on your device. |
Purchases
Stop Motion Stage Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled by Apple. We never see your payment details. The app checks your purchase with Apple on the device, and Family Sharing is handled by Apple.
Links outside the app
Links to this page, the support page and Apple's terms sit behind a short adult check (parental gate), so children don't leave the app by accident.
Children
The app is made to be safe for children. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13, and it contains no ads, no chat and no social features.
Crash reports from Apple
If you have turned on "Share With App Developers" in your iPhone's Analytics settings, Apple may share anonymous crash reports with us. They contain no personal information, and we use them only to fix bugs. You can turn this off in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top. We will not start collecting data without updating the app and this policy first.
