Selpaca · Last updated 15 August 2026
Selpaca shows your front camera on screen and draws visual effects over the live image. That happens entirely on your device, on the phone's own graphics hardware. Camera frames are used to draw the picture in front of you and are then discarded. They are never recorded, never stored, and never transmitted.
The camera runs only while the app is open and in front of you. Sending the app to the background stops the camera.
When you press the shutter, the app captures a photo, applies the effect you selected, and writes the result to a temporary file in its own private storage so it can show you the result. If you tap Save, the photo is added to your device's photo library. If you tap Retake, or leave the preview, the temporary file is deleted.
A saved photo is an ordinary photo in your own library. It belongs to you, it is subject to whatever backup arrangement you already use for your photos, and Selpaca has no further involvement with it.
Selpaca asks for permission to add photos to your library. It deliberately does not ask for permission to read it. The app cannot see, open, list, or count the photos you already have, including the ones it saved earlier.
Nothing, with one exception that you control. Tapping Share opens your system share sheet and hands the single photo you are looking at to whichever destination you pick — a messaging app, another person, a cloud drive. What happens to it after that is governed by whatever you chose, not by Selpaca.
The app makes no network requests of its own. It works with no connection at all.
Selpaca's effects are colour and tone adjustments applied to the whole picture. The app performs no face detection, no face recognition, no biometric measurement, and no identification of any kind. It does not know whether the image contains a face, whose face it is, or how many people are present.
The app asks for two permissions in total: the camera, and permission to add photos to your library. Nothing else.
Photos you saved are in your own photo library; delete them there as you would any other photo. Deleting the app removes its temporary storage along with it. There is nothing held anywhere else, so there is nothing to request from us and no account to close.
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, regardless of age.
Downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play is a transaction with Apple or Google, not with us. Those companies may collect information under their own privacy policies — for example download statistics, or crash diagnostics if you have chosen to share them with developers. That is outside our control, and any crash data shared with us in aggregate contains none of your photos.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Because the app collects nothing, any change would most likely be a clarification rather than a new use of data.
If something is not working, or the app does something you did not expect, write to piraeustechnology@gmail.com and describe what happened. It helps to say which phone you are using and what you were doing when it went wrong.
