Privacy policy
Who is responsible
Reel Screen Recorder is published by Arte Soft EOOD, a company registered in the European Union, which is the data controller for the processing described here. Privacy questions, requests and complaints go to office@arte-soft.com and are answered by a person, usually within a few days.
What the app processes
Reel Screen Recorder records your device screen, your microphone, app or system audio, and your camera — only while you have started a recording, and only the sources you have enabled. Camera frames are processed on the device to draw the floating, Picture-in-Picture and pop-out overlays. If you choose an image background, that file is read from your library to compose the scene.
Your preferences — quality tier, orientation lock, camera mode, audio levels, and your advertising choices — are stored locally on the device.
Where recordings live
On your device: the photo library on iOS, a folder you choose on Mac. Reel has no server of its own and never uploads, stores or sees a recording. Sharing a recording is something you do, with the apps you choose.
Nothing in a recording — no frame, no audio, no file name — is used for advertising.
Advertising in the free version
The free version shows advertisements between sessions through Google AdMob. For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the advertising service is provided by Google Ireland Limited; elsewhere by Google LLC. Google acts as an independent controller for the advertising data it collects, and processes it under its own privacy policy.
To select, deliver, measure and protect those ads, Google may process your device advertising identifier, your IP address and the approximate location derived from it, device and operating-system information, and the fact that an ad was requested, shown, or tapped. Arte Soft adds nothing to this, receives no personal data back from it, and sees only aggregate counts of impressions and revenue.
Buying Pro removes advertising, and with it the advertising SDK’s activity in the app.

Your consent to personalised advertising
Where the law requires consent — in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland — the app asks for it before any ad is loaded, using a consent form from Google’s User Messaging Platform, a Google-certified consent management platform. The form tells you which advertising partners are involved and what each one asks to do, and lets you accept or refuse, by purpose and by partner.
If you consent, ads may be personalised using the data described above. If you refuse, or make no choice, the app serves non-personalised ads instead. Non-personalised ads are not based on a profile of you, but they still involve a limited amount of data — an IP address and basic device information — which Google needs to deliver an ad at all, to cap how often you see the same one, and to detect fraud and abuse.
Your choice is recorded on your device and takes effect immediately. You can change or withdraw it at any time, without losing access to any part of the app, in Settings, under Privacy, by reopening the advertising consent form. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that already happened on the basis of it.
Consent is the legal basis for personalised advertising and for storing and reading the information on your device that it requires. The limited processing behind non-personalised ads, and the detection of fraud and abuse, rest on legitimate interests.
App Tracking Transparency on iOS
On iOS, Apple asks separately for permission to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies. This is a different question from the consent form, and both matter: the device advertising identifier can be used for personalised advertising only if you have allowed tracking in Apple’s prompt and consented in the app’s form. Declining Apple’s prompt withholds the identifier no matter what else you have chosen.
You can change this later in iOS Settings, under Privacy & Security, in Tracking.
Privacy choices in the United States
Under several state privacy laws, using your data to show you personalised ads may count as a sale or a sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Residents of those states can opt out through the same setting in the app: Settings, Privacy, advertising. Opting out switches the app to non-personalised ads and signals restricted data processing to Google.
Arte Soft does not sell personal data for money and does not use it to build profiles of its own.
Children
Reel Screen Recorder is a tool for making videos and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13, or under the age of digital consent where that age is higher, and the app is not tagged for child-directed treatment in the advertising SDK. If you believe a child has used the app and provided personal data, write to office@arte-soft.com and it will be removed.
Purchases
Pro is sold through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Apple handles payment; Reel never receives your card details. Restoring a purchase asks Apple what you own — nothing is stored with us, because there is no us to store it with.
Permissions
The app asks for camera, microphone, photo-library and screen-recording access only for the features that need them, at the moment you first use each. Every permission can be changed later in system settings; a denied permission limits the related feature and nothing else.
How long anything is kept
Your recordings and settings stay on your device until you delete them; we have no copy to delete. Your advertising choices stay on the device until you change them or remove the app. Advertising data collected by Google is retained by Google, for the periods set out in its own policy — we cannot shorten or extend it.
Sharing
Reel does not sell personal data and does not share it, other than the advertising activity described above and whatever Apple services you explicitly use. Data may be disclosed where the law requires it.
Your rights
If the data protection law of the European Union or the United Kingdom applies to you, you have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw a consent you have given. Because the app keeps your recordings and settings on your device and not on a server of ours, most of these you can exercise yourself, immediately, by using the controls below.
Requests we can act on go to office@arte-soft.com. For advertising data held by Google, the request goes to Google, through the links above. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority of the country you live in.
Your controls
Change or withdraw your advertising consent in Settings, under Privacy. Turn app tracking on or off in iOS Settings, under Privacy & Security, in Tracking, where you can also reset your advertising identifier. Delete recordings and imported backgrounds from your device at any time. Change permissions in iOS or macOS settings. Manage or cancel Pro in your Apple ID subscription settings. Remove advertising entirely by purchasing Pro.
Changes to this policy
If what the app collects changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Where a change requires your consent, you will be asked again in the app rather than being told here alone.
