This Privacy Policy describes how TraceBeam ("we", "our", or "us") handles information in connection with your use of the TraceBeam mobile application (the "App").
TraceBeam is a dual-device drawing and tracing application that allows users to stream a live canvas view from a Camera Device to a Drawing Device for alignment and tracing purposes.
We do not require user accounts, and we do not collect or store your drawings, projects, photos, or personal content on our servers.
TraceBeam requires access to your device camera when operating in Camera Device mode. The camera is used solely to capture and stream a live view of your canvas to another device participating in the same drawing session.
Camera images and video are not uploaded to our servers and are not stored by us.
TraceBeam may request access to your photo library so you can select reference images for tracing and drawing projects.
Selected images remain on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
TraceBeam may request permission to access devices on your local network. This permission is required to allow the Camera Device and Drawing Device to discover and connect to each other during a drawing session.
Local network access is used solely to establish communication between devices participating in the same session and is not used to scan, collect, or monitor other devices on your network.
Projects, alignment settings, and selected images are stored locally on your device.
We do not maintain cloud storage for project data and do not have access to your projects.
TraceBeam uses Firebase Realtime Database to establish connections between devices participating in the same drawing session.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the App after any changes signifies your acceptance of those changes.
