Terms of Use

Using Backdrop

Backdrop is a camera that photographs and records through live effects. You may use it for your own personal, lawful purposes. Please don’t misuse it. That means no using Backdrop to break the law, to capture people or places where you have no right to, to interfere with how the app works, or to reverse-engineer, resell, or rebuild it as your own.

What you capture is yours

Everything you shoot belongs to you. Backdrop doesn’t claim ownership of your photos or videos. You’re responsible for what you capture and for having the right to capture it, so use good judgment about people, private spaces, and anything sensitive.

No account

Backdrop has no sign-in. Your photos and videos live in your photo library, and your settings live on your device. Nothing is held with us.

Backdrop Premium

Some of Backdrop is free and some is on Backdrop Premium, an optional auto-renewing subscription. The app shows what the plan unlocks and the price, in your local currency, before you buy. Backdrop Premium is sold monthly or yearly.

Purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s own terms. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple ID’s subscription settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and keeps the plan active until the current period ends. Refunds follow Apple’s rules and are requested from Apple. A plan you have bought can be restored on a new device from Settings inside the app. Settings also shows a Support id, an anonymous purchase identifier you can quote to us if you need help with a plan; it is not tied to your name or email.

Backdrop is provided as-is

We work to keep Backdrop reliable, but it is offered as-is, without warranties of any kind. We can’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and Backdrop isn’t a backup service. Keep your own copies of anything you can’t afford to lose.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Backdrop and its developer aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the app, including lost captures or data. Some places don’t allow these limits, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Ending your use

You can stop using Backdrop whenever you like by deleting the app. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription; cancel that in your Apple ID’s subscription settings. We may suspend or limit access if it’s necessary to protect the app or other people, for example, in the case of abuse or unlawful use.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change in a meaningful way, we will update the date above. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
