CineLog ("the App") is designed with privacy as a first-principles constraint. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is processed, and the limited circumstances under which it is shared.
1. Data Controller
CineLog is operated by EZLOG LTD, registered in the United Kingdom.
For any privacy-related enquiries, contact: contact@cinelog.co.uk
2. Data We Collect
The App is designed to function with minimal data collection.
2.1 Data You Provide
- Work logs (dates, times, roles, production names)
- Optional notes you enter
- Optional invoicing details (only if you enable invoicing features)
- Subscription status and entitlement metadata
2.2 Data Automatically Generated
- Anonymous app identifiers required for iOS functionality
- Subscription transaction receipts (handled by Apple)
2.3 Data We Do Not Collect
- No real names required
- No contact lists
- No precise location data
- No pay rates shared between users
- No behavioural tracking across apps or websites
- No advertising identifiers
3. On-Device Processing
All earnings calculations, tax estimates, deductions, and invoice generation are performed entirely on your device.
Financial and invoicing data:
- Is encrypted using Apple platform encryption
- Is stored locally on your device only
- Is not transmitted to CineLog servers
- Is not accessible to other users, teams, or productions
CineLog has no technical capability to access this data.
4. Invoicing & Accounting Integrations
The App offers optional accounting integrations, including APIs to third-party accounting platforms such as QuickBooks, for users who choose to enable them.
- Invoicing information remains encrypted using Apple's encryption mechanisms
- Invoice data is stored on-device only
- Data is transmitted directly from your device to the selected accounting provider
- CineLog does not store, process, or retain invoice contents
Use of third-party accounting services is governed by their respective privacy policies.
5. Cloud Storage & Sync
Where enabled by the user, the App uses Apple CloudKit to sync work logs across a user's own devices or within explicitly joined teams.
- CloudKit data is encrypted by Apple
- CineLog cannot read encrypted record contents
- Team sharing includes only work time entries required for production visibility
- Financial, tax, and invoicing data are excluded from CloudKit syncing
CineLog does not operate its own user-data servers.
6. Team & Production Sharing
When you join or create a team:
- Only work time entries relevant to the production are shared
- Pay rates, earnings, tax data, and invoice data are never shared
- Access is governed by Apple's CloudKit permission model
- You may leave a team at any time, ending future data sharing
7. Subscriptions & Payments
Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple In-App Purchases.
CineLog:
- Does not receive payment card details
- Does not store billing information
- Only receives subscription entitlement status
Apple's privacy policy governs payment data handling.
8. Analytics & Tracking
CineLog does not use:
- Advertising SDKs
- Cross-app tracking
- Behavioural profiling
Limited, aggregated diagnostic data may be provided by Apple for stability and performance improvements. This data is non-identifying.
9. Data Retention
- On-device data remains until you delete it or uninstall the App
- Cloud-synced work logs remain until you delete them
- No invoice contents are retained by CineLog
- Subscription records are retained only as required by law
10. Your Rights (UK & EU Users)
Under UK GDPR and GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access your data
- Delete your data
- Restrict processing
- Data portability (where applicable)
Because most data resides on your device, deletion is immediate and user-controlled.
11. Children's Privacy
CineLog is not intended for users under 16.
No data is knowingly collected from children.
12. Security
Security is enforced through:
- Apple-managed encryption
- Local-only storage of sensitive financial and invoicing data
- No CineLog-hosted authentication or financial databases
The system is intentionally designed to minimise exposure rather than rely on downstream controls.
13. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated as features evolve.
Material changes will be communicated via the App or App Store listing.
