USB Camera Viewer — Privacy Policy
Effective: 26 September 2026
USB Camera Viewer: Endoscope ("the app", package com.usbcameraviewer.app)
shows USB endoscopes, borescopes, microscopes, webcams and capture cards that
you plug into your Android phone, and saves the photos and videos you take
with them.
What the app collects
Nothing. The app does not collect, upload, share or sell any personal or usage data. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting service and no tracking. The app does not have Android's Internet permission, so it cannot send anything over the network.
Camera permission
Android treats USB video devices as cameras, so the app asks for the camera permission before it opens one. The picture from the camera you plug in is shown on the screen and processed on the phone only. The same applies when the camera is opened through Android's camera service instead: frames never leave the phone.
What stays on your device
- Photos and videos you capture are saved on the phone, in
Pictures/USB CameraandMovies/USB Camera(Android 10 and later) or in the app's own storage (Android 8 and 9). You can view, share or delete them from the app or from your gallery app. - Settings and per-camera preferences (rotation, mirror, resolution, picture controls) and a log of recent connection attempts (USB device IDs and the steps that succeeded or failed) are kept in the app's private storage so the app can remember your camera and explain problems.
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage, deletes the settings and the log. Photos and videos saved to your gallery stay until you delete them.
Sharing
When you tap Share (a photo, a video, or the connection report on the "What's plugged in" screen), Android's share sheet opens and you choose where it goes. The app itself sends nothing; the connection report contains your phone's model and Android version and the USB device IDs, and no serial numbers.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If a future version ever sends any data off the phone, this policy will be updated before that version is released and will say exactly what is sent.
