Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Summary

2seconds is designed to work with your media on your device. The app helps you choose, trim, prepare, and export short daily clips from your Photos library, camera recordings, imported files, and Live Photos. There are no accounts, no ads, no third-party analytics, and no tracking.

Data the app uses

Photos, videos, Live Photos, and imported files you choose or allow the app to access.
Camera and microphone input when you record a clip.
Project names, selected dates, clip timing, export settings, reminder settings, and app preferences.
Generated thumbnails, prepared clips, temporary export files, and export history needed to run the app.
Private iCloud (CloudKit) app data when iCloud sync is available for your Apple ID.
Crash reports and related diagnostic or performance events needed to keep the app reliable.

How data is used

To find candidate clips for your daily timelines.
To preview and trim selected clips.
To prepare short project clips and completed movie exports.
To save finished movies to your Photos library when you ask the app to export.
To schedule local reminders and Back in Time notifications when you enable them.
To sync your app data through your private iCloud account when available.
To diagnose crashes, hangs, and reliability issues through Sentry.

What is never collected

2seconds does not collect your media or project content for developer use. The app has no app accounts, no developer-run backend storage, no third-party analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking SDKs, and no support-upload flow.

Crash, hang, and performance diagnostics are sent to Sentry so the developer can keep the app reliable. Those diagnostics are not used for advertising or tracking and are not linked to any account. Your media and project data are processed locally on your device or stored in your app container; finished exports go to your Photos library only when you choose to export.

Photos, camera, microphone, and files

A fresh install asks for nothing. Permission prompts appear only when you take an action that needs that access.
Photos access is used to find, preview, and select clips and Live Photos for your projects. Limited Photos access is fully supported.
Photo Saves access is used only to save finished exports to your Photos library.
Camera and microphone access are requested only when you record a clip.
Apple Music access is used only to search and preview soundtrack tracks you choose. Nothing about your music library leaves your device.
Files you import are copied into app storage for the selected day or project.

iCloud sync

2seconds uses SwiftData CloudKit sync with your private iCloud app data. Sync is controlled entirely by your Apple ID and iCloud settings; the developer cannot read your synced data. Nothing is stored in developer-readable, public, or shared databases.

Notifications

If you enable reminders or the daily Back in Time notification, the app schedules local notifications on your device. Notification settings are stored with app preferences.

Third parties

Sentry is used for crash and diagnostic reporting only. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or tracking SDKs in the app.

Deleting your data

You can remove selected clips, prepared clips, stale local media, export copies, and cached thumbnails from within the app's Settings. Deleting the app removes its local container data per standard iOS behavior. Movies you saved to Photos remain in Photos unless you delete them there. Synced app data can be removed by deleting the app's iCloud data in iOS Settings.

Contact

Questions about this policy or your data: reach the developer through the Skylex contact page.

This policy covers the 2seconds iOS app by Skylex. If the app's sync or diagnostics behavior materially changes, this page will be updated and the date above will change.
