Who runs Safari Camera
Safari Camera is developed and published by Abokado Labs. Contact [email protected].
Data stored on your device
The app stores your selected gear, saved locations and labels, planner targets, and app preferences locally using Apple's SwiftData and UserDefaults technologies. It uses UserDefaults to provide app functionality under Apple's approved reason CA92.1. Deleting the app removes this local data unless iOS retains it as part of a device backup.
Location and Apple Weather
Safari Camera asks for location access only after showing an explanation and only when you tap Allow Location. Location powers the map, sun calculations, compass-relative light direction, and local forecast. The sun calculations run on your device.
When weather is enabled, the app sends the location needed for a forecast to Apple's WeatherKit service. Abokado Labs does not receive it. Apple handles that request under Apple's Privacy Policy. Forecasts may be cached on your device for up to 24 hours so the app can show a clearly labelled stale forecast offline.
You can deny or revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings. Sun planning remains available for saved spots.
Aggregate product analytics
Aggregate analytics are enabled by default and can be disabled immediately in Safari Camera Settings. The app may send only an event name, app version and build, iOS major version, and processor architecture. Events are limited to install, launch, daily active use, tabs opened, Settings opened, Advisor used, and weather request success or failure.
The payload contains no persistent installation identifier, coordinates, gear, scenarios, camera settings, forecast data, or recommendation contents. The Abokado Labs endpoint is also configured not to retain IP-derived country or user-agent data for Safari Camera events. Analytics failures are ignored and do not affect app use.
