Permissions

Camera access is used when you open the photo booth

The app does not request your contacts or location

Local storage

Four normalized source images and your editing choices are stored in the app's protected container
Photo sources and exports are re-encoded without original GPS metadata
The local collection is excluded from device backups

Sharing

A photo is shared only when you choose a destination in the system share sheet
Copies sent to another app or person are controlled by that destination
The most recent temporary share file is removed when you next open the app and is replaced on the next export

Deleting photos

Delete a memory from the collection to remove its app-owned source photos
Deleting Stillus removes its local collection
Previously exported copies and your original camera-roll photos stay where you saved them

Personal themes

Saved themes are stored locally and excluded from device backups
Theme files contain design settings, a theme name and optional theme words, without your photos or capture dates
A theme leaves the app only when you choose to share its file
You can delete saved themes in the theme studio — existing photo strips keep their own copy of the design
