Terms of Use for Unseen: Hidden Camera Detector
1. What these terms are
These are the terms for using Unseen: Hidden Camera Detector ("Unseen"), made by theworkers.co, Istanbul, Türkiye ("we", "us"). By installing or using Unseen you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the app you download from the App Store. Where these terms add to it, these terms apply to the extra points. How we handle data is in the Privacy Policy at theworkers.co/unseen/privacy/.
2. What Unseen does, and what a scan can and cannot establish
Unseen checks an unfamiliar space for unexpected cameras and surveillance devices, using the sensors your iPhone or iPad already has: the camera (looking for lens-like reflections), Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi network you are on, the magnetic field, and, on some models, room tracking. It combines what these checks saw into one plain-language result.
What a result means. A result reports what Unseen's checks saw, and says so plainly. When the checks see nothing that stands out, the result reads "No suspicious sign found". It never says a place is clean. Something that stands out is called Suspicious. The result also lists what could not be checked, and why. Signals are weighed by how reliable they are, and a magnetic reading never decides a result alone.
What a result does not mean. "No suspicious sign found" means these checks saw nothing that stands out. It does not prove that no camera is there. In particular, Unseen cannot see:
- a camera that is switched off, unplugged or recording to itself without a network;
- a camera on a different network, or on a network that keeps devices apart (guest networks often do);
- a device that does not announce itself or broadcast over Bluetooth;
- a lens your device's camera and light did not reach during the scan.
A reflection or a device that stands out is something to look at yourself. It is not proof that a camera is a camera. A device Unseen recognises may still be set up in a way that is not what you agreed to. Unseen is an aid to checking. It is not a security guarantee, a legal finding or a substitute for looking at the room yourself. Do not use it as your only check where safety, privacy or the law matters to you.
If you find a camera you think is unlawful, Unseen cannot tell you what the law is where you are, and it does not contact anyone for you. The decision of what to do is yours.
3. Free use, Premium and rewarded ads
Free. One Quick Scan a month. You can earn up to two more Quick Scans a month by watching rewarded ads. Ads are optional and shown only when you tap to watch one. A scan in which no check could run does not use up your free scan.
Premium. Premium adds Quiet Scan, Full Scan, device details, the advanced view of a report, and full scan history, and does not offer the rewarded ad. What each plan includes is shown on the plans screen before you buy. We may change what is free and what is Premium in a later version.
4. Plans, billing, renewal and cancelling
Unseen Premium is sold through the App Store as one of three plans:
- Weekly: a subscription that renews automatically every week until you cancel.
- Annual: a subscription that renews automatically every year until you cancel.
- Lifetime: one payment, no renewal, no subscription. See section 4.4.
4.1 What you see before you buy. The plans screen shows each plan's price and billing period, and for Weekly and Annual says that it renews automatically. Prices differ by country and are set in the App Store. The price you see on the plans screen and on Apple's purchase sheet is the price you pay. If an introductory offer is shown, its price, length and what follows it are shown with it.
4.2 Payment and renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. A Weekly or Annual subscription renews automatically at the price shown, for the same period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. A plan does not end on its own: it continues until you cancel it.
4.3 How to cancel. You manage and cancel subscriptions with Apple, not with us. On your iPhone or iPad: Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions, then Unseen, then Cancel Subscription. You can also open Profile in Unseen and tap Manage subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep Premium until the end of the period you already paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. We cannot cancel a subscription for you, because Apple holds the billing.
4.4 Lifetime. Lifetime is a single payment that gives Premium. It does not renew and nothing further is charged. Lifetime is open to Family Sharing, as Apple's Family Sharing applies to it.
4.5 Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or through the Apple support options for your purchase. We cannot issue a refund for an App Store purchase. Where the law of your country gives you a right to withdraw or to a refund, that right is not limited by these terms.
4.6 Restoring. If you reinstall Unseen or move to a new device, use Restore purchases in Profile or on the plans screen. It restores Premium for the Apple ID you bought with.
5. Your use of Unseen
You may use Unseen to check spaces and networks you have a right to check: your own, or where you are staying or visiting, within the rules of that place and the law.
You must not use Unseen:
- to interfere with, sign in to, take over or alter anyone else's device or network;
- to look for cameras or devices in order to harm, harass, stalk or expose someone;
- to repackage, copy, reverse engineer or resell the app, except as the law allows;
- in a way that breaks the law, or the rules of a network you are on.
Unseen itself never signs in to a device, never fetches pictures or video from one, and never changes anything on one.
6. The places and networks you check
Other people own the spaces and networks you will often use Unseen in: hotels, hosts, gyms, shops. They may have their own rules, and some hotel and guest networks' terms of use do not allow probing or scanning. Whether to run any check on a network that is not yours is your decision and your responsibility.
7. Devices that belong to other people
A scan can show names, addresses and other details of devices that belong to other people. They are shown to you as evidence and kept on your device with the scan. Treat them with care. Do not publish or share them to harass or identify people.
8. Our responsibility
We work to make Unseen accurate and useful, but we cannot promise that it will spot every camera or that every result is right, for the reasons in section 2. Unseen is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for loss that comes from relying on a result, or for cameras or devices Unseen did not see.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for anything caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. If you use Unseen as a consumer, you keep the rights the mandatory consumer law of your country gives you.
9. Changes, ending, and the law
Changes. We may update Unseen and these terms. When these terms change, we change the date above and the version they describe. If a change affects what you paid for, we will say so before it applies to you where the law requires it.
Ending. You can stop using Unseen at any time by deleting it. We may stop providing Unseen or end access if you break these terms or the law, and we will not refund a period already used unless the law requires it.
Law. These terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye, and the courts of Istanbul have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of the country where you live, and any right you have to use the courts there.
