Privacy Policy

CamOn! ("CamOn!", "we", "us") is a video dating web app available at camon.life. Adults (18+) create a profile with photos and a 5-second video clip captured live with their camera, discover other members nearby, like each other to match, chat, and meet on one-to-one video calls inside the app. Video dates between matches are free; members may also offer paid video sessions priced per minute in USDT, held in escrow until the session ends. Optional email, phone and ID verification earn trust badges and rewards.

This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have. It applies to camon.life and all of its pages and features (the "Service").

2.1 Information you give us

• Account: email address and password (passwords are handled by AWS Cognito and are never visible to us), or the details Google shares if you sign in with Google (see section 3).
• Profile: name, gender, date of birth (other members only see your age), bio, occupation, income range (optional), interests, city and country, and your time zone.
• Live photos and clips: profile photos and 5-second video clips you capture with your camera inside the app. Files cannot be uploaded from your device.
• Verification (optional): your phone number; and, if you verify your ID, a photo of your identity card (IC) and the name printed on it. We never store your full IC number - only a one-way keyed hash (to stop one ID being used on several accounts) and its last 4 digits.
• Messages and activity: chat messages, likes, matches, blocks, reports, meeting requests and notes, availability slots and your session rate.
• Payments and withdrawals: top-ups, Premium, Spotlight and session transactions, your in-app wallet balance and ledger, the USDT (BEP20) addresses you withdraw to and, if you turn on automatic payouts, your saved payout address. We do not collect card or bank details.
• Blog posts you publish, and anything you send us when you contact us.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Location (only with your permission): the coordinates your browser shares when you tap "Use my location", or the position you set by moving the pin on the map. We use them to show distances and nearby members; other members only ever see your city and an approximate distance, never your exact location.
• Presence: when you were last active, so others can see who is online.
• Device and log data: IP address, browser type, language and request logs kept by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.
• Analytics: pages visited and how features are used, through Google Analytics (see section 8).

If you choose Continue with Google, Google shares with us, with your consent, only your name, email address and whether that email address is verified (the openid, email and profile scopes). We do not request access to your Gmail, contacts, Drive, calendar or any other Google data.

• How we use it: only to create your CamOn! account, sign you in, pre-fill your name, and contact you about your account. Your Google profile picture is not used - CamOn! photos must be captured live.
• How we store it: in our AWS Cognito user pool and our database in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Sharing: we do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers that host CamOn! (AWS), and only to run the Service.
• Deletion: it is deleted together with your account (see section 7). You can also remove CamOn!'s access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

CamOn!'s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
• To show your profile to other members and show you people nearby who fit your filters.
• To run matching, chat, notifications, scheduling (including preventing double-booked sessions) and video calls.
• To check that profile photos show a real person and, if you verify your ID, to compare the face on your IC with your live profile photo. This uses automated face analysis by Amazon Rekognition on the still photo (each 5-second clip is recorded in the same live capture and is not analysed separately); the results (a similarity score) are reviewed by our verification team. Face analysis only runs on photos you capture for these purposes, and we do not build face templates for any other use.
• To screen for nudity and sexual content (CamOn! is a non-adult service): profile photos are analysed by Amazon Rekognition content moderation before anyone can see them (5-second clips are recorded together with their photo and are not analysed separately - please report any clip that breaks the rules), and during live video calls each participant's app sends a still frame of the other person's video about 30 seconds and two minutes after the call connects and then at random times, on average every five minutes. To make sure only the person in the profile joins a video date, those frames and a still of your own camera are also compared with your live profile photo. See Live-call screening below.
• To verify your phone number by SMS and your email by a one-time code.
• To process payments, hold session payments in escrow, pay hosts, process withdrawals and keep accounting records.
• To give rewards (likes, Premium days, badges, referral rewards) and enforce limits.
• To keep the community safe: review reports, prevent fraud, duplicate or fake accounts, and enforce our Terms.
• To understand and improve the Service, and to comply with the law.

Other members see your public profile: first name, age, gender, city, distance, bio, interests, occupation, live photos and clips, badges, online status and session rate. Messages and video calls are only between you and the other person. Your exact location, email, phone number, date of birth, IC details, wallet and payment details are never shown to other members.

Public profile card: your public profile page (camon.life/p/…), which you can share from the Invite page, shows your first name, age, primary live photo and clip, and bio to anyone with the link, including as a preview in social apps.

Service providers that process data on our behalf:

• Amazon Web Services (United States): hosting, database, file storage, sign-in (Cognito), SMS, real-time messaging, face analysis and content moderation (Rekognition).
• Cloudflare: relays encrypted video-call traffic (TURN) when a direct connection between two devices is not possible. Calls are never recorded.
• NOWPayments: processes USDT payments and payouts and holds wallet funds in custody. They receive the payment amount, an order reference and, for withdrawals and automatic payouts, the destination address.
• Google: Google Sign-In (if you use it) and Google Analytics.
• Brevo: sends our sign-in, verification and password-reset emails and phone verification text messages. They receive your email address or phone number and the message.
• X (Twitter): the X Ads pixel measures whether our ads on X lead to visits and new registrations. X receives your IP address, browser details, the pages you visit on our site and, when you register, a sign-up event with a random account reference (never your name, email or profile).
• OpenStreetMap (Nominatim): receives your coordinates to look up your city and country when you share your location; OpenFreeMap serves the map tiles and sees the area being displayed (and your IP address).

Legal reasons: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our members or others. If CamOn! is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred under this policy.

We do not sell your personal information. The only advertising-related sharing is the X Ads pixel described above, which measures our own ads; you can opt out by blocking third-party cookies or with your browser's tracking protection, and under US state laws you can ask us to stop this sharing by emailing us.

• What is analysed: still images (a frame of the incoming video and a frame of your own camera, each at most 640 pixels wide) roughly 30 seconds and two minutes after a call connects and then at random times (2 to 8 minutes apart, five minutes on average) while it lasts. Audio is never analysed.
• How: the frames are sent over HTTPS to our servers and analysed in memory by Amazon Rekognition: DetectModerationLabels for nudity and sexual content (both the incoming video and your own camera), and CompareFaces against the person's primary live profile photo to check it is really them. Frames are not stored by CamOn!; we keep only the results (whether a violation was found, the detected label names and confidence, whether the face matched and the similarity score, the time and the video date). Calls themselves are never recorded, and no face templates are kept.
• What happens on a detection: the call ends for both participants, payment is settled as described in our Terms, and an automatic report (with the label names or the face-match result, not the image) is sent to our safety team. A second nudity violation within 90 days suspends the account. If the face seen by the other person doesn't match but your own camera does, nothing is settled automatically - our team reviews it.
• Limits: because frames are sampled, brief exposure between samples can be missed, and automated analysis can occasionally be wrong. Use the Report button for anything you see - reports are reviewed by people.
• We rely on our legitimate interest (and our obligation to our members) in keeping the Service non-adult and safe. Screening results are kept for 30 days when nothing was found, and up to 12 months for violations and face mismatches (longer only if needed for an ongoing safety case).

• All traffic uses HTTPS/TLS; data is encrypted at rest.
• The database runs in a private network that is not reachable from the internet.
• Photos, clips and IC images are stored privately and only served through short-lived signed links; IC images are visible only to our verification team.
• Sign-in tokens are kept in secure, HttpOnly cookies.

No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities of a breach where the law requires.

We keep your information while your account exists. You can delete your account yourself at any time in Settings → Delete my account, once you have no active profile commitment, no open video dates or withdrawals in progress, and have withdrawn any balance above the withdrawal minimum. Deletion immediately and permanently erases your profile, live photos and clips, likes, matches and chats, ID verification data and IC images, location and blog posts, and removes your sign-in account (including the Google sign-in link). If you can't use the app, email support@camon.life from the address you signed up with and we will delete it within 30 days.

We keep an anonymous record of payments, wallet and ledger entries, withdrawals and past paid sessions for as long as financial and anti-money-laundering laws require, and reports other members made about an account to keep the community safe. Backups expire on their normal cycle.

You can remove individual live photos, change your profile when it is not committed, and stop sharing your location at any time in the app.

We use these cookies:

• Essential: camon_id, camon_access, camon_refresh (keep you signed in), camon_oauth (protects Google sign-in), camon_ref (remembers who invited you, 30 days).
• Preference: camon_locale (your language).
• Analytics: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that measure visits and feature use. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or your browser settings.
• Advertising measurement: X Ads pixel cookies (such as _twclid and X's own cookies) that tell us whether visitors came from our ads on X and registered.

Depending on where you live (for example under Malaysia's PDPA, the EU/UK GDPR or US state laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent (such as location access) at any time. Email support@camon.life and we will respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

CamOn! is hosted in the United States (AWS us-east-1). By using the Service, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States and in the countries where our service providers operate, with safeguards consistent with this policy.

CamOn! is only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 and will delete such accounts when we learn of them. Please report a suspected minor from their profile or by email.

We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. For significant changes we will also notify you in the app or by email.
