The short version
Lookabee collects no data. It makes no network requests and has no accounts, analytics, ads or tracking. What you type stays on your phone.
Who we are
Lookabee is made by Teal in a Box, the software studio of Nicholas Teal, a wedding photographer in Yorkshire, England.
What the app collects
Nothing. The app makes no network requests, so nothing can be sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see who uses Lookabee or how they use it.
Children's names
You type a child's first name so the character can call it. Names are stored only on your phone. They are never uploaded, and they are deleted when you delete the app.
What the app uses on your phone
- Motion sensor. While a character is on screen, the app reads the motion sensor to spot a shake and change character. The readings stay on the phone and are never stored or sent.
- Screen brightness. "Extra bright" is a setting that is off by default. It turns the screen to full brightness while the app is open and puts it back afterwards.
- Screen stays awake. The screen stays on while the app is open, so it doesn't dim mid-shoot.
Lookabee does not ask for access to your camera, microphone, location or contacts.
Links out of the app
The About screen links to group-shot-star.com and tealinabox.com. They open in your phone's browser, and only when you tap them. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
Children
Lookabee is a tool for photographers. Children watch the screen, but the app asks them for nothing and collects nothing about them. It collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
