2. User Conduct

Users of our services must not engage in any abusive, harassing, or unlawful behavior. Violations of these terms may result in the termination of your access to our services and legal action.

3. Data Usage, Privacy, and Device Security

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use, and protect your data.

Leaving your device unattended while performing timelapse captures poses a potential security risk, as it may contain sensitive information such as your wallet, social media accounts, and personal data. Our apps include a screen timer feature that prevents your device from being locked while performing camera actions. This allows you to monitor the process without interruption. We strongly advise against leaving your device unattended in public spaces.

It is your responsibility to safeguard your device and prevent unauthorized access to your data. We recommend passcodes, biometric authentication, and device encryption. Shutter Speed Apps shall not be liable for unauthorized access to your device or misuse of your personal information resulting from your failure to implement adequate security measures.

4. Intellectual Property

All content and materials provided through our services, including but not limited to software, text, graphics, logos, images, and videos, are the property of Shutter Speed Apps and/or our licensors. Some data may be syndicated through other networks and APIs, and we respect the intellectual property rights of our partners. You may not use, reproduce, or distribute any content from our services without our prior written consent.

However, any media created with the apps and services provided by Shutter Speed Apps using your own device are yours, and we do not claim any rights to such media.

5. Creator Content

Any content or media created by you with our apps and services solely belongs to you, the creator. We do not claim any rights to the content or media that you create. You retain full ownership and control over your creations, including timelapse videos, photos, graphics, and any other content generated through our apps and services.

By using our apps and services to create content, you grant Shutter Speed Apps a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our apps and services. This license does not grant us ownership or rights beyond what is necessary to provide and enhance our services.

You are solely responsible for the content you create, including ensuring it does not violate any third-party rights such as copyright, trademark, or privacy rights. We do not monitor or pre-screen user-generated content, but reserve the right to remove or disable access to content that violates these terms or is otherwise objectionable.

If you choose to share content publicly or with other users, you understand that other users may view, download, and share it. Shutter Speed Apps is not responsible for their actions.

You may terminate this license and remove your content by deleting your account or contacting us. Some copies may be retained for backup or archival purposes. If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed, contact us with detailed information so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
