Privacy Policy for GeoCam: GPS Map Camera

1. Introduction

Welcome to GeoCam: GPS Map Camera, developed by MEETANSHI TECHNOLOGIES LLP. We are committed to maintaining your trust by protecting your personal data. This app is designed to help you capture photos with accurate GPS data while keeping your privacy intact.

2. Data Privacy & "No Cloud" Approach

Our application follows a "Privacy-First" philosophy. We believe that your photos and locations are your private business.

• No Photo Uploads: All photos captured using GeoCam are stored locally on your device's storage. We do not have any cloud servers to store, view, or access your photos.
• No Personal Information: We do not collect or request personal details such as your name, phone number, email address, or contacts.
• No Account Required: You can use all features of GeoCam, including GPS stamping and gallery management, without creating an account or logging in.

3. Location Data Usage

Since this is a GPS Map Camera app, we access your device's location to provide the core features:

• GPS Stamping: Your precise location (Latitude & Longitude) is used only to overlay (burn) the location information onto the photos you capture.
• Local Processing: The conversion of coordinates to a street address (Reverse Geocoding) happens via secure APIs, and this data is not stored by us.
• User Control: Location access is only active when the app is in use. You can revoke this permission at any time through your device settings.

4. Third-Party Services

To provide a high-quality experience and support the free version of the app, we use the following verified third-party services:

• Google AdMob: Used to display advertisements. AdMob may collect anonymous device identifiers (AdID) to show relevant ads.
• Firebase Analytics: Collects anonymous usage data (e.g., app launches, screen views, device model) to help us fix bugs and improve the user interface.
• Google Maps API: Used to fetch address details and display map tiles on the photo stamps.

5. Permissions Explained

To function correctly, GeoCam requires the following permissions:

• Camera: To take photos.
• Location (GPS): To identify your current coordinates for the photo stamp.
• Storage / Media: To save captured photos to your Gallery and to view existing photos in the app's gallery tab.

6. Children’s Privacy

GeoCam is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect or share any personal data from children, as we do not collect personal data from any users regardless of age.

7. Security

By keeping all captured data and photos on your physical device and avoiding cloud storage, the risk of data breaches is minimized. We recommend that users keep their devices secure with passwords or biometrics.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We encourage you to review this page to stay informed about how we are protecting your data. Updates are effective immediately upon posting.
