Kraken Dive Photo - Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 September 2026

Summary

Kraken Dive Photo does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The app runs entirely on your device.

What the app does

Kraken Dive Photo connects to a Kraken dive housing via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and translates button presses into camera actions on your phone. It launches whichever camera and gallery apps you have set as your device defaults (e.g. Google Camera and Google Photos on Pixel, Samsung Camera and Samsung Gallery on Galaxy) and interacts with them on your behalf using Android's accessibility service.

Data handling

• Bluetooth: The app stores the MAC address of your last connected Kraken housing on the device (in SharedPreferences) so it can reconnect automatically. This data never leaves your device.
• Photos and videos: The app queries Android's MediaStore to find your most recent capture and open it in your default gallery app. It does not read, copy, upload, or modify your photos or videos.
• Accessibility service: The accessibility service performs taps and swipes in your default camera and gallery apps. To find the right button when you press a housing button, it reads the on-screen controls of the camera or gallery app in the foreground. It does not store, log, or transmit any screen content, text, or user interface data. It acts only after you agree to the in-app disclosure.
• Network: The app does not make any network requests. It has no internet permission and no server-side component.
• Analytics: None. No crash reporting, no usage tracking, no telemetry.

Third-party services

None. The app has no dependencies on third-party SDKs, analytics, advertising, or cloud services.

Children

The app is not directed at children. It is a tool for scuba divers using a Kraken underwater housing.
