Last Updated: 22/07/2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Chris Olah and Halo Print and Design ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our mobile application, HaloRC - Halo Blackmagic Control (the "App").
1. Data We Do NOT Collect
We are committed to your privacy. The 'Halo Blackmagic Control' App is designed to operate locally on your device and communicate directly with your compatable Blackmagic Design Camera, we are in no way associated with the camera manufacturer Blackmagic Design. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about you or your usage of the App.
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.
- We do not collect usage data, analytics, crash logs, or performance metrics from your device.
- We do not access your device's location services for data collection purposes.
- We do not use cookies or other tracking technologies.
2. Information Used by the App (Local Device Interaction Only)
The App requires access to certain device features to function as intended:
- Bluetooth: The App connects to your Bluetooth-enabled camera (Blackmagic Design models with Bluetooth control) via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to send control commands (e.g. record and adjust settings) and receive status information (e.g., timecode, battery status, media status). All such communication occurs directly between your device and the camera and is not transmitted to us or any third parties.
- Location Permissions (Android Requirement for BLE Scanning): On Android 6.0 (API level 23) and higher, access to location services is required by the operating system for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning to function. The App requests this permission to discover and connect to your camera. The App does not collect, store, or transmit your device's location data. This permission is solely for the technical enablement of BLE.
- Local Preferences: The App may store certain settings and preferences (e.g., your selected blue button function) locally on your device to enhance your user experience. This data remains on your device and is not accessible by us.
3. Data Security
Since we do not collect any personal data, there is no data stored on our servers to protect. All communications with your camera are local Bluetooth connections.
4. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or on our website. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
