Elva Privacy Notice

Elva is a vintage film timestamp app that adds nostalgic digital date stamps to your photos, bringing back the charm of analog photography eras. We built Elva to let you relive the warm, nostalgic feeling of old film photography, and we think your personal moments should stay personal. This page is our simple, clear explanation of how we handle your information—no confusing jargon, no hidden fine print.

All Your Photos Stay On Your Device, Always

When you use Elva to add retro date stamps to your photos, every part of the editing process happens right on your phone or tablet. We never upload your original photos, edited photos, or any personal content from your photo gallery to any of our servers.

No one on our team can access any of your photos unless you explicitly send them to us when you reach out for customer support. Even then, we only use your photos to resolve the issue you're having, and we delete them permanently once we're done.

What Little Data We Collect Is Always Anonymous

We never collect any personal information that can identify you—like your name, email address, location, or contact details—unless you choose to contact us for support.

The only non-personal data we might collect is completely anonymous usage and performance data, like:

Anonymous crash reports, to help us fix bugs that break the app experience
Usage stats for popular timestamp styles, to help us prioritize new features and templates you'll love
General device information (like your operating system version) to make sure Elva works well on all devices

None of this data can be traced back to you as an individual, and it's only used to make Elva better for everyone.

We Never Share Your Information With Anyone

We built Elva as a passion project for analog photography lovers, and we don't sell or rent any of your information to third parties for marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purposes.

The only third-party tools we use are for improving app performance (like crash reporting), and all of these tools only collect the same anonymous, non-personal data that we collect ourselves. We only work with third parties that share our commitment to keeping your personal information private.

You're In Full Control Of All Your Content

Because all of your photos and edited work are stored only on your own device, you are 100% in control of your content:

You can export your stamped photos to your device gallery at any time, with no restrictions or watermarks
If you delete Elva from your device, all data associated with the app is deleted permanently from your device—and we have no stored copies of any of your content on our end
You can turn off anonymous data collection at any time through your app settings, and that won't affect any core features of Elva
