Privacy Policy for Camera Access in Estia Payments app

Effective Date: 18-11-2024

Estia Payments (“we”, “our”, or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information we obtain when you grant our app access to your phone’s camera.

1. Camera Access

Our app requires access to your device’s camera to provide its intended functionality. This access is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Scanning of QR codes and specifically the data that we collect is used to perform transactions with a merchant inside our application, and the QR contains merchant specific information that will aid in performing the transaction successfully and furthermore inform the user about the details of the transaction.

We do not access or use your camera for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

2. Information Collection and Use

  • We do not store or share the photos, videos, or other content captured through the camera without your consent.
  • If our app processes the camera content, such as analyzing or editing images, this is done locally on your device unless otherwise specified.
  • Information from the QR will be displayed on your phone in comprehensible language format and will not be stored.

3. Third-Party Sharing

We do not share any camera-related data with third parties unless:

  • You explicitly consent to such sharing.
  • It is required to comply with legal obligations.

4. Data Security

We take the protection of your data seriously. Any data processed via the camera remains secure and private, adhering to industry-standard security protocols. We automatically close the camera after it is no longer being used and we do not give the application the ability to capture the content of the camera through a button or any other functionality, and furthermore the content is used only to momentarily scan the QR code appearing on the screen.

5. Your Choices

You can control the app’s access to your camera through your device’s settings. You may enable or disable this permission at any time:

  • For Android: Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions > Camera.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
