# Privacy Policy

**HG CCTV**
**Effective Date:** [2025-Jun-08]
**Last Updated:** [2025-Jun-08]

## Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how HG CCTV ("we," "our," or "the App") handles information when you use our iOS application. HG CCTV is designed exclusively for connecting to and managing Herongrange Leviathan CCTV Network Video Recorder (NVR) systems.

## Important Notice About User Management

**HG CCTV does not create, manage, or maintain user accounts.** This application serves solely as a client interface that uses credentials you provide to authenticate with remote Herongrange Leviathan NVR systems. All user authentication and account management is handled by your NVR system administrators through separate NVR management applications.

## Information We Collect

### Connection Profile Data
The app stores the following information locally on your device to facilitate connections to your NVR systems:
- Server hostnames and IP addresses
- Port numbers
- Usernames and passwords for NVR authentication
- Custom profile names and settings
- Video quality preferences (FPS, resolution settings)
- Push notification preferences

### Device Information
We may access:
- Network connectivity status for connection management
- Device storage for temporary video data caching
- Push notification capabilities for security alerts

### Video and Surveillance Data
- **Live Video Streams:** Processed in real-time and not permanently stored by the app
- **Cached Video Data:** Temporarily stored locally for performance optimization
- **Push Notifications:** Security event notifications from your NVR systems

## How We Use Information

### Primary Functions
- Establishing secure connections to your Herongrange Leviathan NVR systems
- Authenticating with remote servers using your provided credentials
- Displaying live video feeds and archived footage
- Enabling remote camera control (PTZ functions)
- Delivering security event notifications

### Data Processing
All authentication and user management is performed by your remote NVR systems. HG CCTV acts solely as a conduit, transmitting your credentials to the appropriate NVR for verification.

## Data Storage and Security

### Local Storage
All connection profile data is stored locally on your device using iOS secure storage mechanisms. This includes:
- Encrypted credential storage
- Profile configurations
- User preferences and settings

### Data Transmission
- All communications between HG CCTV and your NVR systems use enterprise-grade encryption
- Video streams are encrypted during transmission
- Control commands utilize proprietary security protocols
- No surveillance data is transmitted to third parties

### Security Measures
- End-to-end encryption for all NVR communications
- Secure local credential storage
- Automatic session management and timeout controls
- Network security validation

## Data Sharing and Third Parties

**We do not share, sell, or distribute any information to third parties.** All data flows directly between:
- Your iOS device running HG CCTV
- Your Herongrange Leviathan NVR systems
- Apple's push notification services (for security alerts only)

### Apple Push Notifications
Security event notifications are delivered through Apple Push Notification service. These notifications contain:
- Event timestamps
- Camera identification
- Alert descriptions
- Optional thumbnail images

## Data Retention

### Local Data
- Connection profiles remain stored until manually deleted
- Video cache is automatically managed and cleared
- Notification history is limited to recent events

### Remote Data
All surveillance footage, user accounts, and system logs are managed entirely by your NVR systems according to their respective data retention policies.

## Your Rights and Controls

### Profile Management
- Add, modify, or delete connection profiles at any time
- Control video quality and streaming preferences
- Enable or disable push notifications per profile
- Clear cached data and temporary files

### Data Access
Since HG CCTV does not manage user accounts, all requests for surveillance data access, modification, or deletion must be directed to your NVR system administrators.

## Children's Privacy

HG CCTV is designed for professional surveillance applications and is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

## International Data Transfers

HG CCTV operates entirely between your device and your designated NVR systems. Data transfers occur according to your network configuration and NVR system locations.

## Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated through app updates or in-app notifications. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of privacy policy updates.

## Contact Information

For privacy-related questions about HG CCTV:
- Contact your NVR system administrator for user account and surveillance data inquiries
- Contact the app developer for technical privacy questions related to HG CCTV functionality

## Compliance

This privacy policy is designed to comply with:
- iOS App Store privacy requirements
- General data protection principles
- Professional surveillance industry standards
