CDNC PRIVACY POLICY
Effective October 30, 2026
CDNC Studio LLC ("CDNC," "we," "us," or "our") provides the CDNC iPhone app and operates cdnc.app. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the CDNC app, visit our website, join a beta or mailing list, or communicate with us.
THE CDNC IPHONE APP
App privacy and optional ad measurement — CDNC does not require an account and does not display third-party ads inside the app. Your videos, photos, audio, imported LUTs and editing choices remain on your device unless you choose to export or share them. They are not sent to Meta through CDNC’s ad-measurement integration.
Starting with CDNC 1.3, ad measurement is optional and off by default. If you allow it in CDNC and grant Apple’s tracking permission, CDNC shares limited information with Meta to help measure and improve our Facebook and Instagram advertising. This includes your device’s advertising identifier, app-open and eligible installation events, and completed paid Pro purchases. Events include their time and a random event identifier. Purchase events also include the Pro product, actual transaction amount and currency. Meta receives normal connection information, including your IP address, which can be used to infer approximate location.
Meta may combine this information with information it holds from other apps, websites and sources for advertising measurement, personalized advertising and recommendations, improving its products, and safety and security, as described in Meta’s Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/. CDNC does not send Meta your contact information, payment-card details, Apple Account credentials, App Store receipts or Apple transaction identifiers through this integration. Apple continues to process purchases and subscriptions.
You can decline without losing any CDNC features or changing your Pro prices or trial eligibility. Turn measurement off in Settings → Privacy & Ad Measurement, or manage CDNC’s tracking permission in iPhone Settings. In versions before 1.3.6, turning it off stops new measurement requests, cancels requests in progress and clears locally pending measurement. In 1.3.6 and later, turning Meta measurement off stops new CDNC event submissions and clears CDNC’s pending commerce records, but events already handed to Meta’s SDK may still complete delivery. Cancellation cannot retract information already transmitted or delete information Meta already received. Allowing measurement again does not report purchases made while it was off.
CDNC keeps consent preferences and limited purchase/trial and request-status records on your device. Apple transaction identifiers are used locally to verify purchase relationships and prevent duplicate reporting; they are not sent to Meta. Withdrawing Meta consent clears CDNC’s pending purchase intents, pending trial checks and unsent commerce events; SDK delivery already in progress is subject to the version-specific limits above. Duplicate-prevention records may remain with app data. Deleting the app and its data removes that local copy, subject to iOS backup and restore behavior; it does not delete Meta’s copy.
For Meta’s privacy controls and data practices, see its Privacy Policy. For questions or privacy requests to CDNC, contact mark@cdnc.app.
Optional TikTok measurement in supported versions — TikTok measurement is optional and off by default. Only if you allow it in CDNC and grant Apple’s tracking permission, CDNC shares app activation, eligible new installs, verified trial starts and eligible paid Pro-purchase events with TikTok to measure and improve CDNC advertising. A trial start is not paid revenue. Events include their time and a random identifier; trial events include the Pro product, and paid purchases also include amount and currency.
TikTok’s SDK processes advertising and vendor/device identifiers, app/session information, device model, OS/app/SDK versions, language/locale, and ordinary connection information including IP address and IP-derived approximate location. TikTok may combine partner information with other information for advertising measurement, personalized advertising, recommendations, product improvement and safety/security under its regional privacy policy: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy.
CDNC does not send TikTok your footage, edits, LUTs, contacts, Apple Account credentials, payment-card details, receipts or Apple transaction identifiers. In versions before 1.3.6, automatic SDK app events are disabled. In 1.3.6 and later, TikTok’s native install detection runs only after permission is granted; other automatic event types, including automatic payments and retention events, remain disabled. Technical-monitor uploads, crash collection and remote screenshots remain disabled.
The same in-app and Apple permission controls described above apply to TikTok. Turning measurement off stops new requests, cancels in-progress SDK requests and clears unsent events and purchase intents. Cancellation cannot retract data already transmitted or delete TikTok’s copy. Re-enabling does not replay events cleared on withdrawal or report purchases made while measurement was off. Consent and duplicate-prevention records remain on your device as described above.
TikTok’s retention, international processing and privacy controls are governed by its regional privacy policy; CDNC does not promise a separate TikTok deletion deadline. Website and app permissions remain separate. This description covers supported future versions; adding this disclosure does not itself enable TikTok measurement in an installed version.
Updated Meta measurement in supported versions — When you explicitly accept the updated Meta notice in CDNC and grant Apple’s tracking permission, the integration also reports verified free-trial starts separately from paid purchases. A trial-start event identifies the Pro product but does not contain paid revenue. Events include app identifier, build and version, OS version, language/locale and time-zone information for app-event delivery. Existing permission is not silently expanded: the updated notice requires a fresh in-app opt-in, and declining does not affect features, checkout, prices or trial eligibility. The same withdrawal, retention and Meta policy terms above apply. This disclosure does not itself enable tracking in an installed app.
Native SDK measurement in 1.3.6 and later — After permission, Meta’s official SDK handles installation and app-session reporting and receives advertising and vendor/device identifiers, app/session information, device model, OS/app/SDK versions, language/locale and ordinary connection information. CDNC submits verified trial starts separately from actual paid purchases. Automatic purchase collection, optional interface metadata and product-improvement collection, and SDK crash/error collection are disabled. Existing Meta permission is not silently migrated to the updated integration. New onboarding may present one Apple tracking-permission prompt naming both Meta and TikTok; allowing it enables both optional integrations, and each can later be turned off separately in CDNC. Existing declines and partner-specific choices are preserved. Declining does not affect app features, checkout, prices or trial eligibility. Apple’s separate privacy-preserving install reporting does not require this permission. This disclosure covers the supported update and does not itself enable tracking in an installed version.
On-device access, purchases, and support — CDNC may request access to your camera, microphone, and photo library so you can record, import, save, and export media. This processing occurs on your device. Purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit; CDNC does not receive payment-card or Apple Account credentials. Diagnostics remain on-device unless you intentionally export and share them for support.
If you separately allow optional ad measurement and Apple’s tracking permission, the limited paid-purchase information described above is shared with Meta. A free trial is not reported as paid revenue. CDNC’s measurement is not a complete subscription-sales ledger: a first paid trial conversion may be observed only when the app runs again, and later renewals and refunds are not generally reported by this integration.
Apple privacy-preserving install attribution in supported versions — CDNC asks Apple’s SKAdNetwork to register app activation for install attribution using an install-only conversion value of zero. Apple controls signed, delayed, privacy-preserving reports to the ad network associated with an eligible download. This separate Apple system does not use CDNC’s access to your advertising identifier, initialize Meta or TikTok SDK sharing, or send purchase value, trial details, footage or editing activity. The optional identified Meta and TikTok sharing described above remains off unless you separately allow it and grant Apple tracking permission.
WEBSITE, EMAIL, AND BETA COMMUNICATIONS
Information you provide may include your email address when you join a CDNC mailing list or TestFlight program, optional form information, messages, feedback, survey responses, support details, and information needed to administer beta access. Our website and service providers may receive limited technical information such as browser and device type, approximate IP-derived location, referring page, pages viewed, and site interactions. CDNC uses Framer for hosting and aggregate analytics, Meta Pixel only when marketing tracking is allowed, and Mailchimp or MailerLite for forms and email delivery.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use website, email, beta, and support information to provide requested access, communications, and support; respond to questions and privacy requests; operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and communications; understand aggregate site use; measure advertising results when permitted; comply with legal obligations; and protect CDNC, our users, and others.
Optional app measurement helps us understand and improve our Facebook and Instagram advertising; it does not give us your footage or editing content. The information, permissions and Meta’s uses are described in the app privacy section above.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We may share website, email, beta, and support information with service providers that help us operate CDNC, including Framer, an email service provider such as Mailchimp or MailerLite, Meta when website marketing tracking is enabled, Google Workspace, and professional advisers or contractors. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business reorganization. We do not sell personal information for money.
When you allow optional app measurement and Apple’s tracking permission, CDNC also sends the limited app-measurement information described above to Meta. Website and app permissions are separate. Meta’s processing is described in its Privacy Policy.
Some privacy laws use broader definitions of sale or sharing that may include disclosures for targeted advertising. Where required, you can decline or withdraw permission through the website’s privacy controls for website tracking and Settings → Privacy & Ad Measurement for app measurement. Apple’s tracking permission is also required for app measurement.
YOUR CHOICES
You can stop marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in each message. Essential website technology operates because it is needed to display, secure, and operate the site. Framer’s built-in analytics are cookie-free and aggregate. Meta marketing tracking remains off unless you select Accept marketing. If you select Essential only, CDNC will not intentionally activate Meta Pixel for that visit. You can change your choice through the site’s privacy controls.
Identified Meta and TikTok app measurement is off unless you choose to allow it in CDNC and grant Apple’s tracking permission. Declining does not restrict CDNC features, subscription prices or trial eligibility. You can change your choice in Settings → Privacy & Ad Measurement and manage Apple’s tracking permission in iPhone Settings. Website marketing permission does not enable app tracking, and app permission does not enable website tracking.
RETENTION
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including requested communications, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Mailing-list information is generally retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, subject to limited suppression and legal records. Information stored by the CDNC app remains on your device until you delete it, remove it through the app or system, or uninstall the app, subject to iOS backup and storage behavior.
The optional app-measurement records stored locally are described above. Withdrawing consent does not erase data already received by Meta; Meta’s retention and controls are described in its Privacy Policy. CDNC does not promise a separate Meta deletion deadline.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; receive a portable copy; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of certain targeted-advertising disclosures. To make a request, email mark@cdnc.app. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
CDNC and its service providers may process website, email, beta, and support information in the United States and other countries. Meta may also process optional app-measurement information internationally as described in its Privacy Policy. Those countries may have different privacy laws from where you live. Our service providers are responsible for using appropriate transfer safeguards where required.
CHILDREN
CDNC is not directed to children below the age at which parental consent is required, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app, website, mailing lists, or support channels. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this policy as CDNC develops or our practices change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we will provide additional notice when appropriate.
