Pepper Networks, LLC (Pepper), the makers of the Movie Maker 3D app, takes your privacy very seriously. 

  • Pepper does not collect any personal data.

  • Movie Maker 3D does not store any data on servers under control of Pepper. Movie Maker 3D only stores your data locally on your iOS device and, if your device is signed in to Apple’s iCloud service, Movie Maker 3D uses your private iCloud storage in Apple’s iCloud service to sync your Movie Maker 3D data between your devices. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/governance/

  • If you use shared projects in Movie Maker 3D, it also uses your private storage in Apple’s iCloud to share data between you and the users that you invite to your shared projects.

  • If you choose to use the optional avatar 3D model Face & Voice animation features, Movie Maker 3D uses the iOS and iPadOS ARKit face-tracking services. Movie Maker 3D only uses the face-tracking services to record your face movements to animate the face of your 3D avatars. The ARKit face-tracking APIs internally use the iOS / iPadOS TrueDepth camera services. Before Movie Maker 3D can start face-tracking, your explicit permission is requested by an iOS / iPadOS prompt. Movie Maker 3D does not collect or store any personally identifiable TrueDepth camera data; it only records facial expression and movement data for avatar animation. Movie Maker 3D face-tracking is only done when you explicitly start recording and during recording, Movie Maker 3D always displays both a real-time image of the face-tracking camera image and the animations.

    When you decide to save a facial animation recording for your avatar, Movie Maker 3D saves the animation data in a local file on your device. If you have enabled iCloud, the local file is also synced and stored in your own private or shared iCloud storage. If you decide to invite other users to view or collaborate on your iCloud stored 3D project, the animation information will be available to the invited users. Pepper never has access to any of your face-tracking data and Pepper never shares any face-tracking animation data with any third parties.

  • If you choose to create an optional custom avatar 3D model Movie Maker 3D uses the Ready Player Me avatar creator and editor at timebox.readyplayer.me, which Movie Maker 3D displays in a captive web browser. The timexbox.readyplayer.me subdomain is hosted by Ready Player Me with all third-party tracking disabled. The full Ready Player Me Privacy Policy is available at https://readyplayer.me/privacy.

  • All of your Movie Maker 3D data can be exported in a variety of portable, user-readable formats, including PDF files, via the Action button available throughout Movie Maker 3D.

  • The only time employees of Pepper ever see personal data is when someone voluntarily enters their email into our newsletter subscription form (via the Sign Up for Movie Maker 3D News button) or to Contact Developer (via the Contact Developer button). Our mailing list is powered by MailChimp, a GDPR-compliant service, and we do not sell or otherwise share any personal information we see from support requests. If you use the Contact Developer button in Movie Maker 3D, it will allow you to compose an email to Pepper that includes your email address and it may also include an error log file attachment that may help us resolve your problem, but which you can optionally delete before sending. 

  • If Movie Maker 3D ever crashes, we receive anonymous, crash logs from Apple in order to fix bugs and improve Movie Maker 3D.

  • You can easily delete your Movie Maker 3D data from iCloud using the Settings app on your iPhone and iPad. To do so, launch the iOS Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, Manage Storage, Movie Maker 3D, then Delete Data. This will delete all of your Movie Maker 3D data in iCloud, including everything you’ve shared in shared projects.
