Your privacy
Personal moments.
Kept personal.
Your camera frames, saved moments and baby profile stay on your device unless you choose to export them or enable a device backup. First Light has no accounts, advertising or tracking.

About this policy
First Light is an educational iPhone app made by Andrew Millspaugh for parents and other adults interested in infant vision. This policy describes the app, its support website and information you choose to send when asking for help.
Camera and saved moments
Live camera frames are processed on your device. First Light does not upload camera images or record microphone audio. When you tap the shutter, the app saves the source image, a thumbnail, the capture date, the selected age and rendering settings in its own storage. The gallery keeps up to 60 moments; older moments are removed as new ones are added.
Your baby’s profile
If you choose to set up a profile, the app stores a birth date, weeks early and an optional name on your device. These details set the starting age and personalize shared images or clips. You can use the age slider without creating a profile. We do not receive these details.
Sharing and backups
Saving to Photos or using the share sheet sends only the item you choose to the destination you select. Shared images or clips may include the baby’s name and age. Check the preview before sharing. Photos, other apps and iOS device backups may store or sync those items under your settings and their own privacy policies. First Light has no developer-operated cloud storage.
Deleting your data
Delete saved moments from the app’s gallery. To remove a baby profile, open the age setup and choose Remove. Deleting the app removes its local storage. Exported copies and device backups are managed separately in Photos, the destination app or your device’s backup settings.
Analytics, purchases and links
First Light includes no advertising, analytics SDKs or tracking. The app does not send usage or diagnostic data to a server operated by us. Apple handles App Store purchases and may process diagnostics under your Apple settings. Opening a research, support or refund link connects you to that website, which has its own privacy practices.
When you contact support
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include so we can respond. Send only what is needed to explain the issue; photos of children and baby profile details are usually unnecessary. Email is processed by our email provider. We retain support correspondence as needed to handle your request and related obligations. You can ask us to delete it.
The support website
The support and privacy pages do not include advertising or analytics scripts. The hosting provider may process technical request information, such as your IP address, to deliver and protect the website. This is separate from the app’s on-device camera processing.
Changes and questions
We will update this policy if our practices change and show the revised date here. For privacy questions or requests, contact Andrew Millspaugh at the email address below.
