Overview

CamOverlay is a macOS menu bar utility developed by Fırat Yalavuz. It shows your camera in a small floating window that stays on top of other apps, with adjustable shapes, borders, filters, opacity and size. This policy explains how CamOverlay handles information.

Data We Do Not Collect

CamOverlay does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. The app:

• Does not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Does not record, save, upload, or transmit your camera video
• Does not access your contacts, photos, location, or microphone
• Does not track your usage or behavior
• Does not use analytics, advertising, or third-party SDKs
• Does not create an account or require a sign-in
• Does not make any network requests

Camera Access

CamOverlay requests camera permission because displaying your camera is the entire purpose of the app. The video is rendered live on screen only. It is never written to disk, never sent anywhere, and disappears the moment the app is closed. You can revoke camera access at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera.

Settings Stored on Your Device

Your preferences — shape, border colour and thickness, filter, opacity, size, mirror mode, selected camera and window position — are stored locally on your Mac using the system's standard local storage (UserDefaults). This data never leaves your device and is removed when you delete the app.

Third-Party Services

CamOverlay does not integrate with any third-party services, backends, authentication providers, payment processors, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

Children's Privacy

CamOverlay does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
