Principles and operator
Daisuke Tamura (the “Operator”) handles information used by the FilmPlay iOS app and this website as needed to provide their features and respond to support requests.
FilmPlay captures and edits photos and videos on your device. It has no app accounts, advertising, ad tracking, independent behavioral analytics, or transmission to external analytics or AI services. The Operator runs no server that receives your photos, videos, audio, projects, or usage records. The only service the app itself talks to is Apple’s App Store, for purchases and access checks. Links to this website or Apple pages open in your browser only when you tap them.
Information on your device
FilmPlay stores photos and videos you capture or choose to import, video audio, selected music, material dates, project names, captions, edits, look-rendered versions, thumbnails, exports, and display preferences such as sort order on your device. These support capture, looks, editing, playback, saving, and reopening projects.
The date of an imported material defaults to the moment you confirmed the import, and you can change it on the import confirmation screen. FilmPlay may read metadata in the file or the creation date in your photo library during import, but uses them only to process the import and does not replace the default date with them. Imported originals may retain metadata already in the source file, including location information. FilmPlay itself does not request location permission or obtain your current location, and does not automatically sync your entire photo library.
Camera, microphone, and photo permissions
- Camera: to capture photos and videos.
- Microphone: to record sound with videos.
- Photo read access: to import the photos and videos you select, reading photo-library information only as needed for the import.
- Photo add access: to save originals or exports to Photos when you choose to do so.
Permissions are requested for relevant actions. You can change them in iPhone Settings → Apps → FilmPlay or the relevant privacy settings. Features that require a revoked permission will no longer be available.
Purchases and the free trial (Apple StoreKit)
FilmPlay Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. The 3-day free trial is offered as a free (0-cost) in-app item. FilmPlay uses Apple StoreKit to purchase, start the trial, restore purchases, and check access after refunds. The app reads product information and prices provided by Apple, and Apple-verified transaction details (product, original purchase date, transaction ID, and revocation or refund status), to decide on your device whether paid looks are available and whether the trial is still active.
The trial period is calculated by the app as 72 hours from the original purchase date of the trial item. Once the app has confirmed that the period has ended, it records that transaction ID in the app’s on-device settings so that changing the device clock cannot restart the trial. This record is used only for the expiry check and is never sent to the Operator. Deleting the app removes it from the device, but Apple’s purchase record remains, so a reinstall or another device counts from the same original purchase date and the trial is not extended.
The Operator does not receive your payment-card number, bank account number, or Apple Account password. Apple manages purchase records; its policies govern retention and refunds. Apple Privacy Policy
Storage, backups, and deletion
Materials and projects remain on your device until you delete them in the app or delete the app. Remove a material from projects that use it before deleting that material. Export important photos and videos to Photos or another destination before deletion.
Deleting a material in FilmPlay does not delete the original in Photos or copies already exported. Manage those copies in Photos. Deleting the app removes materials and projects stored only inside the app, as well as the on-device trial expiry record (Apple’s purchase and trial records remain). FilmPlay has no independent cloud sync, but copies may be included in iCloud Photos or device backups according to your Apple settings. The Operator cannot remotely view, restore, or delete your on-device materials.
Information received through support
If you email us, we receive your email address, display name, message, and any images or diagnostic information you choose to attach. We use them to respond, investigate problems, review related correspondence, and protect rights. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising.
We retain it only as long as needed for support and legal obligations, and delete information that is no longer needed. You do not need to send unnecessary personal information or original creative work. We use Gmail to receive and manage support email. Google Privacy Policy
Website hosting and external services
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process connection information such as your IP address, access time, requested URL, and browser to deliver and secure the website. We do not add advertising or analytics cookies or maintain our own website access-log database. This processing is part of serving a static website; it is not tracking of your activity by the app. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
Apple’s OS and App Store diagnostics follow Apple’s policies and your sharing settings. Apple, Cloudflare, and Google may process information outside Japan. Each provider’s role and privacy policy govern its processing and retention. We limit information entrusted to providers and require protection consistent with this Policy and applicable law.
Safeguards and your choices
We serve this website over HTTPS and limit access to support information to what is needed. We do not disclose support information to unrelated third parties unless you request it or disclosure is required by law.
Manage on-device information through FilmPlay and iOS settings. To request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of information received by the Operator, contact tonboapps@gmail.com. We may ask for the minimum information needed to identify the request. If legal retention duties or other applicable exceptions prevent a request, we will explain why.
Changes and contact
We update this page when features or information practices change and announce material changes on this page or in the app. The September 13, 2026 update added the 3-day free trial and the handling of imported material dates.
