SideVision Privacy Policy
Puddle Labs ("we," "us," or "our") provides SideVision, an iPhone and iPad app for checking your practice form from another angle with a live or delayed monitor. This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use SideVision and how it is used. SideVision does not require an account or login.
1. Information We Handle
Camera, video, and local practice content
- Live camera frames used to show a delayed mirror on a nearby device
- Recorded practice clips saved locally on your device when you choose to record
- Clip metadata such as file name, creation date, duration, and file size
Device connection information
- Nearby peer device names and connection status used for local device discovery and connection
- Local network and Bonjour discovery information used to connect Camera Device and Monitor Device modes
App settings and preferences
- Delay selection, display mode, rotation preference, recording controls, and similar app state
- Permission choices managed by iOS and iPadOS, including Camera, Local Network, and Photos access
Subscription and purchase information
- Subscription entitlement status and product identifiers provided by Apple StoreKit
- We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple.
Analytics and diagnostics
- App interaction events, screen views, app version, device/OS information, and performance data that may be collected through Firebase Analytics
- Crash reports and diagnostic information that may be collected through Firebase Crashlytics to help us fix bugs
2. How Camera Frames and Videos Are Handled
SideVision is designed to work locally. In Camera Device mode, the camera feed is encoded into lightweight image frames and sent directly to connected nearby devices using Apple's local peer connectivity technologies. Camera frames are not uploaded to external servers.
Recorded practice clips are stored locally on your device. If you choose to save a clip to Photos, iOS saves that video to your Photos library. SideVision does not provide cloud video backup or an online clip library.
3. How We Use Information
- To show live or delayed practice video on a nearby monitor device
- To connect a camera device and monitor device over the local network
- To record, save, play back, delete, and export practice clips
- To manage free and paid features through Apple In-App Purchase subscriptions
- To diagnose crashes, improve reliability, and understand high-level app usage
- To respond to support, privacy, purchase, and legal requests
4. Third-Party Services
SideVision may use third-party services to operate app features:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Apple | Camera, Photos, Local Network permissions, MultipeerConnectivity, StoreKit subscriptions, payments, and refunds |
| Google LLC | Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, if enabled in the app build |
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and platform terms.
5. Sharing and Sale of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your videos or camera frames for third-party advertising tracking. We may share information only when necessary to operate the app through the providers listed above, when you ask us to provide support, with your consent, or when required by law.
6. Retention and Deletion
Practice clips and app preferences stored on your device remain there until you delete them in the app, uninstall the app, erase the device, or otherwise remove them through Apple's device tools. Videos saved to Photos can be managed in the Photos app.
Analytics and diagnostic data handled by Firebase is retained according to Firebase settings and applicable law.
7. Your Choices

- You can delete practice clips in the app or remove exported videos from Photos.
- You can manage or cancel subscriptions in Apple account subscription settings.
