Camera and microphone privacy

Seesaw takes your privacy very seriously and does not do any background recording. When allowing camera and microphone access, Seesaw will only record when you explicitly choose to record audio or video, will only take photos when you explicitly choose to take a photo, and will only access your photo library when you explicitly choose to select and upload a photo or video. 

By granting Seesaw access to your photo library, Seesaw does not have visibility into your device’s photos; rather, it grants the app permission to access the photo library in order to select a specific photo to upload.
