This policy applies to the LightBookPhoto app on iPhone and Android. The policy for LightBookShow, its companion app, is here.
LightBookPhoto takes photographs of the stage on your phone and keeps them there. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
One thing leaves the app, and only when you press the button for it: the message you write in the FEEDBACK screen. It is shown to you in full beforehand, and the diagnostic part can be switched off.
LightBookPhoto is developed and published by LIGHTBOOKSHOW, IE, a company registered in Georgia, at N 4e, floor N 6, apartment N 75, building N 2, Giorgi Leonidze str., Batumi, 6000, Georgia. That company is the data controller for everything described below.
If you have any question about this policy or about your data, write to info@lightbookshow.com.
The camera is used only to photograph the stage when your lighting console calls a cue. Photographs, recordings, cue lists you import and the files you export are stored on your phone, in the app's own folder. The app never uploads them anywhere.
When you export or share a file, the system (iOS or Android) hands it to whichever app you choose — Files, Mail, AirDrop, a messenger, LightBookShow. What happens after that is governed by that app's own privacy policy, not by ours.
The app listens on your local network for messages from your lighting console (OSC or MIDI Show Control). It never sends anything to the console and cannot change your show.
So that iOS can ask you for Local Network permission, the app sends one empty network packet to the "discard" port of your network's router. It contains no data. Nothing the app hears on the network is sent anywhere.
On Android, while the app is open and listening, it keeps sending the same empty packet to the router's "discard" port five times a second. Many Android phones put Wi-Fi to sleep between messages and miss the console's cues; this small, steady traffic keeps the connection awake. The packets carry no data and go only to your own router — never to the console and never to the internet. They stop when the app goes to the background.
The only outbound internet connection the app makes is when you fill in the FEEDBACK
screen and press SEND. Your message is sent to a server on the lightbookshow.com
domain, which forwards it to the developer's mailbox as an email.
The message contains:
The diagnostics block contains, and contains nothing else:
iOS 26.6 or Android 15;You see this block in full, on screen, before you send anything. Nothing is collected in the background, and nothing is sent at any other moment.
If the network is unavailable, the app falls back to your device's own mail app. In that case the message is composed for you and you send it yourself.
The feedback endpoint runs on Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Email Routing), which forwards the message to the developer's mailbox. As with any request over the internet, Cloudflare processes your device's IP address in order to deliver the request and to protect the service from abuse. The app itself neither reads nor stores your IP address.
The mailbox those messages arrive in is hosted by Google, which therefore processes them as our mail provider.
No other third party receives your data. It is not sold, not shared, not used for advertising, and not used to build a profile of you.
Feedback messages are kept in the developer's mailbox for as long as they are useful for fixing what you reported, and deleted sooner on request.
LightBookPhoto has no account, so the only data we can hold about you is feedback you chose to send from SETTINGS › FEEDBACK. To have it deleted:
What is deleted: the feedback text, the reply address and the diagnostics block (app version and build, data format version, operating system, device name). Nothing is kept afterwards. Photographs, recordings and exported files are never on our side — they stay on your phone and are removed by deleting them in the app or by uninstalling it.
This policy is governed by the law of Georgia, in particular the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection. You may ask what data about you is held, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be deleted. The supervisory authority is the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia, and you have the right to complain to it.
If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, the GDPR gives you the same rights and a few more — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection — and you may complain to your national data protection authority. Our legal basis for handling a feedback message is your consent, given by pressing the button, and our legitimate interest in fixing what you reported.
There is no account to delete: the app does not register you and keeps nothing about you on any server of ours. One email to info@lightbookshow.com is enough to see or delete any feedback you sent.
The app does not read or write your photo library.
LightBookPhoto is a professional tool for theatre lighting technicians. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Material changes — anything that alters what is sent or to whom — will also be noted in the app's release notes.
