Camera, color identification and neutral calibration

Opsino uses the rear camera to estimate the color in your selected measurement area. Current camera frames and derived color values are processed temporarily in your iPhone’s memory. Neutral calibration to account for lighting also takes place on the device. Camera images may include people or personal belongings, so choose the measurement area deliberately.

Opsino does not create photo or video recordings in your library, upload camera images or keep a permanent measurement archive. The latest reading and neutral calibration are held only in memory for the current session. We cannot access your camera images or readings.

Purpose, legal basis and camera permission

Processing serves only the color identification and calibration you request. Where personal data is processed under our responsibility, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR is the basis for providing the requested app function. Camera access also requires your separate iOS system permission. This technical permission is distinct from the legal basis for processing.

You may change or revoke camera permission at any time in iPhone Settings. Color identification is unavailable without camera access. The measurement function requires neither an account nor an internet connection. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs.

Controls and local retention

The measurement circle, color names, guidance and calibration are processed locally. When VoiceOver is enabled, the displayed results and guidance are announced using iOS accessibility features. Opsino does not use a microphone for this or send results to its own speech service.

Camera frames are continuously replaced by new frames. The displayed reading and neutral calibration are not saved permanently and are lost when the app process ends. Briefly switching to another app does not necessarily end that process. There is no server-side record or registration for us to delete.

Apple App Store and system services

Once Opsino is offered on the App Store, Apple processes data for download, installation and its own system services under its own responsibility. Depending on your Apple settings, this may include diagnostics and usage data. This is distinct from collection by Opsino. See Apple’s privacy policy. Apple may also process data outside the EU or EEA; that policy explains recipients and transfer arrangements. Opsino itself does not send camera images or readings to Apple or to its own servers.

Website data processing

The website and info@appsbymow.com mailbox are hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. Page requests involve technical access data required to serve and secure the website, such as IP address, time, requested address, status code, browser and operating-system information. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, with a legitimate interest in secure, functional hosting. STRATO describes retaining visitor IP addresses for attack detection and prevention for a maximum of seven days; the visitor log files it provides contain anonymized IP/host details. See STRATO’s processing information.

The provided AppsByMow website uses no tracking cookies, advertising or analytics scripts. Images, fonts and scripts are served by the website’s own host. Language follows the page address; no browser language preference is stored for this purpose. Linked external pages are requested when you open their links.

On the AppsByMow parent website, you can dismiss a privacy notice by selecting “Got it”. Only after this click do we save the value true under appsbymow_privacy_notice_dismissed in your browser’s local storage. On later visits, we read this preference to keep the notice hidden as you requested. It contains no visitor identifier, is not sent to us and remains until you clear the website’s browser data. Storage access serves only the dismissal feature you requested (Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG); insofar as personal data is involved, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, with a legitimate interest in respecting this display preference. If browser storage is blocked, the notice can still be dismissed for the current page view. This click does not grant consent to tracking or other services.

Contact by email or phone

When you contact us by email or phone, we process the contact details you provide, the content of your request and any voluntarily attached files to respond. Your phone number may be displayed when you call. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contractual or pre-contractual matters, otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is handling your request. STRATO provides the email mailbox. Requests and any related notes are deleted after final handling once no longer needed for follow-up questions, evidence or establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. Statutory retention duties take precedence. Please only provide information needed for your request.

Recipients

Hosting and email: STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany, as the technical service provider for the website and mailbox.
Phone: Telecommunications providers involved in the connection process connection data under their own privacy notices.
Legal duties: Information is disclosed to competent authorities where required by law.

International transfers and external links

We use STRATO in Germany to operate this static website. We do not embed external analytics, advertising or social media services that send data to those providers when a page loads. When you contact us, transmission also depends on the email or telephone providers you use. If you open links to Apple, social networks or other websites, their privacy notices apply to your visit; processing outside the EU or EEA may take place. We do not transfer personal app data to our own servers in third countries.

Retention

Visitor IP addresses for attack detection: a maximum of seven days according to STRATO; provided visitor logs contain anonymized IP/host details. This period concerns the security processing described by STRATO and is not a general retention period for all statistics.
Contact requests and related notes: until final handling, and longer only where follow-up questions, evidence, legal claims or statutory retention duties require it.

Providing data

You are not obliged to send us a request or provide additional personal details. Without information needed to respond, we may be unable to handle your request. Technical access data must be processed when you visit the website to deliver and secure the requested pages. No user account or registration is required.

Automated decisions

We do not make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects within Article 22 GDPR using website or contact data, and do not use it for profiling.

Your rights

Subject to the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and data portability. You may withdraw consent for the future at any time. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. Contact the controller using the email address above.

You can complain to a supervisory authority, particularly where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred. In Baden-Württemberg, Germany: the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

Changes

We update this notice when features, technical processes or legal requirements change. The current version is available on this page.
