Privacy policy: GPS Stamp Camera
GPS Stamp Camera has no user accounts. What you create in the app stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob; a one-time purchase removes them. We do not sell personal data.

What the app processes
Camera
The app needs the camera to take photos. Photos are saved on your phone in Pictures/GPS Stamp Camera and leave it only when you share them.
Location (optional)
If you allow it, the app reads your phone's precise location while the camera is open, to stamp each photo with its coordinates, accuracy and altitude and to correct the compass direction. The location is drawn on the photo and written to its EXIF data, both of which go with the photo when you share it. It is never sent to us. Without the permission the stamp shows the time and your notes only.
Address (optional)
If you turn on the address in a project's stamp, the app uses Android's address lookup (Geocoder) while you take photos. It sends the photo's coordinates to your phone's geocoding service, which on most phones is provided by Google, and gets back a street address. The address is looked up only when the phone is online and the option is on; it is off by default.
Projects, notes and logos
Project names, stamp settings, notes, the logo image you choose and the list of photos are stored only on your phone. PDF reports and ZIP files are created on your phone and go only where you send them through Android's share menu.
Permissions are optional: the app asks only when you use a feature that needs them, explains why, and keeps working if you say no.
Ads, purchases and Google services
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google processes your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information and how you interact with ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before any personalised ads are shown; without consent, Google shows only non-personalised or limited ads. You can change your choice at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. Google's use of this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
US residents
Under some US state privacy laws (for example in California), letting Google use your device's data to show ads based on your activity in other apps and websites can count as “selling” or “sharing” personal data. You can opt out at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. After you opt out, Google shows ads with restricted data processing. We do not sell personal data for money.
Purchases (Google Play)
The “Remove ads” purchase is processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details. Google gives us the order number, product, date, country and price, which we keep as long as Polish tax law requires (usually 5 years).
Ratings
The app may occasionally show Google Play's rating prompt. Your rating and review go to Google Play, not to us.
Backups
If Android backup is turned on, Android may back up the app's settings and saved data to your Google account. This is controlled by you in Android settings.
What we do not do
No accounts, no selling of personal data for money, and no analytics or crash reports sent to us from the app.
Your rights and legal details
Legal bases
Personalised ads: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Purchases: performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our tax obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)). Non-personalised ads that fund the free app, and security of our services: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Who receives data
Google (Google Ireland Ltd. and Google LLC) for ads, consent, purchases and ratings and, if you turn on the address on the stamp, address lookup. Transfers outside the EEA are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can withdraw consent at any time (Settings → Privacy options) without affecting earlier processing. Most data exists only on your phone: uninstalling the app deletes it. You can also complain to the Polish data protection authority: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, uodo.gov.pl.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
