CamHold collects nothing. It processes your camera locally on your Mac and never transmits your video or any personal data. The only video it keeps is the short Loop clip you choose to record, and that clip never leaves your Mac.
CamHold is a macOS utility that creates a virtual camera which mirrors one of your physical cameras, letting you freeze, loop, hide, or degrade the image before it reaches apps like Zoom, FaceTime, or Google Meet. This policy explains what CamHold does and does not do with your data.
None. CamHold does not collect, log, or transmit any personal information, usage analytics, identifiers, or diagnostics. There are no accounts and no sign-in.
CamHold requests access to your camera solely to provide its core function: relaying the selected camera to the virtual "CamHold" camera and applying the freeze / loop / hide / degrade effects you choose. Video frames are processed on your device, in real time and are never sent anywhere. Live video is not recorded or saved.
Loop plays a short clip of you in place of the live camera. CamHold records that clip only when you ask for it, with Record or by pressing Loop before any clip exists (a few seconds, video only, no audio) and stores it locally on your Mac in the app's shared App Group container, where the camera extension reads it. The clip is never uploaded or shared. Recording again replaces it, and you can delete it at any time with Remove in the app.
CamHold makes no network requests. It works fully offline. Nothing about your camera, settings, or usage ever leaves your Mac.
Your preferences (selected source camera, and the freeze / loop / hide / degrade toggles) are stored locally on your Mac in a shared App Group container so the app, its camera extension, and the Control Center control stay in sync. This data stays on your device and is removed when you delete the app.
CamHold contains no third-party SDKs, advertising, or tracking technologies. No data is shared with anyone.
CamHold is a general-purpose utility and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.
