Inspektion Privacy Policy

Effective 12 November 2026

Inspektion is a USB camera app made by Kodeha (kodeha.com). Your photos, videos and folders stay on your phone. The app has no accounts and no Kodeha server. It shows ads from Google and uses the Internet to load them, unless you buy Remove ads. Inspektion does not send your photos, videos, folder details or camera reports anywhere by itself, and Kodeha receives nothing from the app unless you choose to send it to us, for example by sharing a camera support report.

Advertising

Inspektion uses Google's Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to show ads. No ads load during your first use of the app. After that, a full-screen ad can appear when you open or return to the app, and a banner can appear while you browse Gallery or folders. Opening ads do not appear while the app is recording, taking a photo or waiting for camera permission, and banners do not appear on the camera, connection or full-screen media views.

Google's SDK collects and shares the following for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention: your IP address, which may show your rough location; your interactions with the app and ads, such as app launches, taps and video views; diagnostic information, such as launch time and hang rate; and device identifiers, including the Android advertising ID. This data is encrypted in transit. Inspektion does not give the SDK your camera images, saved media, folder names, camera reports or raw camera samples.

Where the law requires it, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Inspektion asks for your choices before it requests ads. You can change them later under Privacy choices in Settings. If you do not allow personalized ads, you may still see ads that are not personalized. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Android settings. Inspektion is not directed at children under 13.

Inspektion stores on your phone whether it has been opened before and when the last ad appeared, to limit how often ads appear.

Remove ads

You can pay once in Settings to remove ads. Google Play handles the payment, so Inspektion and Kodeha never see your card or other payment details. Google Play tells the app only whether your Google account owns the purchase, and the app stores that answer on your phone. After you close a full-screen ad, Inspektion may now and then offer Remove ads; it stores on your phone when it last did so and whether you asked it not to offer again. After the purchase Inspektion no longer starts Google's ads SDK, asks for ad choices or requests ads. Google Play restores the purchase when you reinstall the app or sign in on another phone with the same Google account. Refunds follow Google Play's rules. Kodeha receives sales reports from Google Play, such as order number, date, country and amount.

What stays on your phone

Camera images and silent videos are saved to your phone's Pictures/Inspektion and Movies/Inspektion collections. Folder names, media names, capture dates and photo/video links are stored in the app's private storage. App-managed cloud backup is not provided.

Permissions

Camera access is needed for an external UVC USB camera; Inspektion does not open your phone's built-in cameras. Android separately asks before granting access to a USB device. Internet access is used only by Google's ads, consent and Play billing components. Inspektion does not use your phone's location services, record sound or use a speech recognition service.

Sharing and reports

Photos, videos and folder ZIP exports leave Inspektion only when you choose an Android sharing app. The receiving app then handles that copy under its own terms. Folder ZIPs contain media and basic folder/capture details, with an error list if some media could not be exported. Original JPEG bytes and any metadata embedded in them are preserved. Check the content and recipient before sharing.

Optional camera support reports include the selected USB device's identifying information and interfaces, phone manufacturer and model, Android and app versions, connection status, and any camera model, working app or problem description you enter. You can review the report before sharing. Identification-only reports exclude device serial numbers, photos, videos and raw USB payloads.

For cameras with a matching published startup method, you may choose an experimental raw sample after granting Android USB access. The test saves up to five seconds or 4 MiB of received USB bytes, together with startup commands, transfer results and timing. These undecoded bytes may contain camera images or other device information and cannot be visually previewed in Inspektion. Point the camera at a non-sensitive test area. The app does not export serial-number getters or camera information-response payloads, but cannot identify or remove private content inside an unknown raw stream. You can stop the test or remove its results before sharing. Samples stay in memory until shared; share attachments are written to private temporary cache and files older than seven days are removed when another report is generated. Reports and samples are never uploaded automatically; you choose the receiving app or destination.

How your data is protected

Inspektion's own code sends nothing over the Internet; only Google's ads, consent and Play billing components use it. Android keeps the app's private storage closed to other apps, and that storage is excluded from Android backup and device transfer. When you share a file, Android gives the app you choose access to that file. Photos and videos in your phone's gallery can be read by other apps you allow to access your media, such as a gallery or backup app.

Retention and deletion

Saved media remains in your phone's gallery until deleted. Deleting an item in Inspektion also requests deletion of that original file. Deleting a folder removes only the folder; its photos and videos stay in Inspektion's Gallery and on your phone. Uninstalling the app removes its private folder details, ad history and settings, while gallery files and copies you exported remain. A Remove ads purchase stays with your Google account. You can remove those through the gallery or file provider you used. Temporary exports may remain in the app cache until Android or the app clears it. Data collected by Google's SDK is handled under Google's policies; Kodeha receives only summary ad reports from Google.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at kodeha.com/inspektion/privacy/ and included in the app, with a new effective date.
