1. Introduction

Welcome to Geo Tag Camera. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application handles your information.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize your privacy. The information processed by our application is handled locally on your device to enable core features:

• Device Information: We access your device's camera, microphone, and storage to capture and save photos and videos.

• Precise Location Data: We use your device's GPS and network-based location to add location metadata (latitude, longitude, and address) to your media. You can control location access through your device settings.

• Media Files: The photos and videos you capture are stored in your device's local storage (DCIM/Camera).

3. No Advertising or Analytics: Version 1.0.3 of this app does not include any third-party advertising SDKs or analytics tracking. We do not collect, store, or share any information about your usage habits or device identifiers for advertising purposes.

4. Permissions Requested

To provide its core features, the app requires the following permissions:

• Camera: Used to capture photos and videos.

• Location (GPS & Network): Used to determine your current coordinates and address to overlay them on your captured media.

• Storage (Media/Photos): Used to save the processed photos and videos directly to your device's gallery (DCIM/Camera folder).

• Microphone: Used to record audio when you are capturing video.

5. Data Processing & Verification

• Trusted time: To ensure the integrity of timestamps, the app may synchronize with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server (pool.ntp.org). This ensures that timestamps are accurate and not manipulated by device clock changes.

• Location Integrity: The app includes features to detect "Mock Locations" or GPS spoofing to ensure the authenticity of location data, especially in attendance modes.

• Face Detection: In Attendance modes, we use Google ML Kit for face detection. This processing happens entirely on your device. No biometric data is ever sent to us or any third party.

• Geocoding: We use the Android Geocoder API to convert your GPS coordinates into a readable address. This service is provided by the Android system.

6. Third-Party Services

The app uses Google Play Services for location and ML Kit for face detection. These services may collect certain device-level information as per their respective privacy policies.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is rated for general audiences above the age of 13.

8. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our application or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

9. Legal Disclosure

We may disclose your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our app policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
