When you use a private browsing mode in your web browser, such as Safari's Private Browsing mode, it only affects the data that is stored on your device locally. Private browsing mode does not affect the operation of the camera on your device.


If you're using a website or application that requires access to your camera while in private browsing mode, you will still be prompted to grant permission to access the camera. The camera will work the same way as it would in a non-private browsing mode, but any data that is generated by the camera, such as photos or videos, may be subject to the privacy policies of the website or application that is using it.


It's worth noting that private browsing mode does not guarantee complete privacy or security, as your internet service provider or network administrator may still be able to see your online activity. Additionally, any data that is transmitted over the internet, such as video or photo data generated by your camera, may be intercepted or monitored by third parties.
