Frame Camera and Frame Story
Privacy policy
Last updated November 12, 2026.
In short
Frame Camera is a camera app for iPhone, and Frame Story (theframe.cc) is where you publish your photographs and stories. We have no advertising, we don’t sell data and we don’t track you across other sites or apps.
Frame Camera without an account
Without an account, nothing leaves your iPhone. The camera works offline and photos are processed on the device. The app asks for permission to use the camera, to add photos to your library and, if you want to apply looks to older pictures, to see your library. Originals are never changed.
A Frame Story account
If you create an account, we store your email, your username, your name and bio (if you add them), a hashed password (if you set one), the photos you choose to send with the look and mode of each, and the stories you write. Photos are published without location (GPS). If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, your email (or Apple’s private relay address) and an account identifier. Passkeys store only a public key.
Private photos and stories are visible only to you. Public ones appear on your profile and anyone can read them. Who you follow, what you keep in Inspiration and the notes you send are private.
Statistics and cookies
We use cookies only to keep you signed in and to remember your language and theme. We count story views in aggregate so authors can see how many reads they had; we don’t store who read what.
We send password-reset emails and notices you can turn off in Settings, through Resend. We send no marketing email.
Where data is kept
Data is kept on ZeroServer, which hosts Frame Story. We don’t share data with third parties other than these services needed to run it.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app or on the site, in Settings. This removes your account, photos, stories and sign-in methods from our server.
Children
Frame Story is not intended for children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
