Privacy Policy

Garage Reel for iPhone · Last updated 14 September 2026

Garage Reel does not collect any data. It has no accounts, no servers, no analytics and no third-party code. Nothing you film, type or record leaves your iPhone unless you choose to share it yourself.

What the app stores, and where

Everything Garage Reel creates is written to your iPhone's own storage, inside the app's private container:

Video clips you film, at full quality.
Audio from any narration you record.
The videos it assembles from those clips.
Text you type — project names, notes, and your own shot lists.
Your settings, such as appearance and whether recording stops automatically.

None of it is transmitted anywhere. The developer cannot see it, and neither can anyone else.

Device permissions

Garage Reel asks for three permissions, each only when it first needs one, and each used for one thing:

Camera — to film the shots on your list. Video is written straight to the app's own storage.
Microphone — to record sound with your clips and to record narration.
Photos (add only) — used solely to save a finished video to your camera roll when you tap Save to Photos. The app requests add-only access, so it cannot read or browse your existing photos and videos.

You can refuse or withdraw any of these in iOS Settings. Refusing Photos access does not stop you using the app — you can still share a finished video directly from Garage Reel.

What the app does not do

No user accounts, sign-ins or profiles.
No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or advertising SDKs.
No tracking, and no data shared with anyone for any purpose.
No posting or uploading to social platforms. Sharing happens through iOS itself, in an app you choose, on your instruction.
No network requests of its own. The app functions fully in aeroplane mode.

Sharing a video

When you save a video to Photos or send it through the iOS share sheet, it leaves Garage Reel and enters whatever app or service you picked. From that point it is covered by that service's privacy policy, not this one.

Children

Garage Reel is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.

Deleting your data

Delete the app from your iPhone. Every clip, recording, video, note and setting it created is removed with it — there is no copy held anywhere else, so there is nothing to request and no one to request it from. Videos you had already saved to Photos remain in Photos, under your control.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app ever handles data differently, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date at the top will change.
