Privacy policy
NightSafe · AAA IT · Updated 28 October 2026
This policy covers NightSafe for Android (com.nightsafe.nightsafe), iPhone and iPad (com.nightsafe.nightsafe.ios), and this website. Platform-specific features and purchases depend on the installed version and availability.
NightSafe for iPhone and iPad
This policy also covers the iOS app com.nightsafe.nightsafe.ios. No registration, account, name, phone number or email address is required to use the app. AAA IT does not receive or store your recordings, audio, recording dates or GPS coordinates on its servers.
Local recording: choosing Lights + recording explains the recording behavior before requesting camera, microphone and optional While Using location access. Supported iPhones save separate front and rear videos, with audio in the rear file. The date and time and, if permission and a recent location fix are available, coordinates, location timestamp and estimated accuracy are saved in a local metadata file. Denying location does not prevent recording. NightSafe requests a location fix for the recording; it does not track your route or request background location access. Approximate location is supported. These coordinates are not supplied to AdMob.
Recordings and metadata are kept in the iOS app sandbox until you delete them or uninstall the app. The recording folder is excluded from automatic app backup. Deleting a video in the library also deletes its metadata. Older recordings may have no location. Share video exports only the selected video to the destination you choose; Open in Maps sends the saved coordinates to Apple Maps only when you choose that action. The receiving service handles the exported information under its own policy. Stopping, locking the phone or leaving the app stops recording.
Advertising and privacy choices: local storage does not mean the app makes no network requests. Google AdMob and its consent SDK may process IP addresses (including inferred approximate location), device or app identifiers, ad interactions, crash diagnostics and performance data for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. We do not send videos, microphone audio or saved GPS coordinates to Google. Consent and privacy choices are presented where required; when available, use Menu → Ad privacy choices. The current iOS app does not request access to the advertising identifier through App Tracking Transparency. See Google Privacy Policy and Google iOS SDK data disclosures.
Apple purchases: when support purchases become available, Apple processes payment through the App Store. NightSafe uses verified StoreKit transactions to apply the relevant entitlement locally; we do not receive card details. Apple handles payment and account information under Apple's privacy policy. Availability depends on the app version and registered products. You can manage permissions in iOS Settings. Website and support-email processing is described below.
Android camera, microphone and recordings
Start flashes the screen and, where available, the rear flashlight. It does not record video or audio. Camera permission enables the flashlight on supported phones; if you decline it, screen flashing remains available. Start with Camera Recording requests Camera and Microphone permissions and explicitly starts video and audio capture. SOS changes the light pattern and keeps your current recording choice; SOS from idle starts lights only.
On compatible phones, the front and rear cameras record concurrently into two separate videos. Otherwise, NightSafe tries one camera, preferring the rear, and clearly shows which camera is recording. Live preview cards, a recording indicator and a timer stay visible. Audio is included in one file only: the rear video, or the front video when only the front camera is available. If no recording can start, the screen explicitly says so; lights can continue. Stopping, leaving the app or locking the screen stops recording. NightSafe may request approximate location only when you choose recording; if granted, it reads the last known coordinate once at start and stores a rounded coordinate beside the local clip for the Recorded videos list. It does not continuously track location, request contacts or use the camera in the background.
Videos, audio and the local video-list metadata are processed on your device and are not uploaded to AAA IT or this website. NightSafe has no remote monitoring or cloud recording service. Dual recording depends on the device's concurrent-camera support and video configuration; Android version alone does not guarantee support. On Android 10 and later, recordings are saved in Movies/NightSafe-Recordings and can remain after uninstalling. Delete them from Recorded videos after confirmation, or with your gallery or file manager. If a clip has stored coordinates, Open in maps lets you choose a map app or Google Maps in a browser. Only when you choose this action are those coordinates passed to the selected provider, which handles them under its own privacy policy. On Android 7–9 they are stored in the app's external Movies folder, normally removed on uninstall; copy files you want to keep first. Any gallery sync, device backup or sharing you separately enable is governed by that service.
Banner advertising
NightSafe displays Google AdMob banner ads at the top and bottom while the app is idle. Both banners are hidden while lights or recording are active and after a completed coffee purchase on that installation. Google Mobile Ads collects and shares IP address (including approximate location inferred from it), advertising or other device identifiers, ad/app interactions and diagnostics for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. Its consent service also processes information needed to manage advertising choices. NightSafe does not send your camera videos or microphone recordings to AdMob. Ads load only when the consent SDK permits requests; this does not mean every ad requires consent in every region. Where required, you can review consent through Ad privacy choices in the app menu. If ads are unavailable, the recording controls remain usable.
Read Google Privacy Policy and Google advertising information. No analytics SDK is added by NightSafe separately.
Google Play coffee purchases
The 2.1 series uses three optional, repeatable one-time coffee products configured in Google Play Billing. Availability depends on an eligible Google Play installation and account. Google Play shows the final localized price and processes the payment; NightSafe, AAA IT and this website never receive your payment-card details. Google Play handles purchase history, receipts and purchase status for payment processing, fulfilment and fraud prevention. NightSafe receives the purchase receipt, token and status through Play Billing, checks the receipt signature on the device and returns the purchase token to Google Play to complete consumption and allow repeat purchases. These details support purchase verification and the local ad-removal benefit; NightSafe has no developer-operated purchase backend to receive or store them. Google handles payment information under its own privacy policy. Any completed coffee purchase stores a local ad-removal preference and removes both banner ads on that installation. The purchase is then consumed so the same product can be bought again. There is no subscription. Because NightSafe has no account or purchase-verification server and app backup is disabled, ad removal survives normal app updates but cannot be restored after uninstall, clearing app data or moving to another device.
Local preferences and device access
The app stores language, welcome-screen and What’s New display preferences, video-list metadata and the local ad-removal preference on the device. While lights or recording are active, NightSafe sets its own window to maximum brightness and prevents inactivity screen timeout. It restores the prior window brightness and allows normal screen timeout when stopped. Manually locking the phone or leaving the app stops the session. You can revoke Camera, Microphone and approximate Location permissions in Android settings; recording remains available without location metadata, but camera/audio recording remains unavailable until Camera and Microphone are granted. Clearing app data resets local preferences, including local ad removal.
Website and contact
This static site is hosted by Cloudflare Pages and uses no site analytics, advertising pixels or account system. Cloudflare receives connection information such as IP address, requested URL and browser headers to deliver and protect the site. See Cloudflare Privacy Policy. Our pages do not set marketing cookies.
If you email nightsafe@ibi.bz, your email address, message and attachments are processed through Cloudflare Email Routing and Gmail so we can respond.

Support correspondence is kept while needed to handle the request and related follow-up, or meet applicable obligations. Request deletion using the same contact address.
Choices, children and changes
We do not provide a NightSafe user account or sell your recordings. Advertising providers apply their own retention rules. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold; contact us to make a request. The app is not specifically directed to children under 13. If a child has sent us personal information, contact us for removal. Material changes to this policy will appear here with a new date.
