Privacy Policy & Copyright

GPS Camera for iOS • Tenjiku Tech

Effective Date: June 28, 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

We built GPS Camera with privacy as a foundational principle. The App operates entirely locally on your device and does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers.

© Copyright & Ownership Notice

Copyright © 2026 Tenjiku Tech. All rights reserved.
The GPS Camera mobile application, including its source code, visual design, custom user interface components, and branding, is the intellectual property of Tenjiku Tech. You retain complete ownership and intellectual property rights over all photographs, videos, and media content you capture using the App.

Introduction

Tenjiku Tech ("we", "our", or "us") built the GPS Camera app (the "App") as a free application. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use it on Apple iOS devices. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We believe that what happens on your device should stay on your device. Specifically:

No personal information collected
No usage analytics or tracking by us
No user accounts or sign-in required
No cookies or web fingerprinting
No media transmitted to cloud servers
We never sell or trade your data

Device Permissions & How Data is Accessed

To deliver core functionality, GPS Camera requires access to specific Apple iOS system hardware features. All data accessed via these permissions remains strictly local on your iPhone or iPad:

📍 Location Data (GPS Coordinates)

Why required: To retrieve real-time latitude, longitude, altitude, and accuracy metrics using Apple's CoreLocation framework.

How it is used: The coordinates are rendered as an aesthetically styled visual watermark overlay on your camera preview and embedded directly into the saved media files as EXIF/XMP metadata. This processing occurs 100% locally on your Apple processor.

📸 Camera Hardware

Why required: To capture high-resolution photos and record video streams using AVFoundation.

How it is used: The live camera feed is displayed exclusively within your viewport. No visual data is ever recorded in the background or uploaded off-device.

🎙️ Microphone

Why required: To capture synchronized audio when recording video captures.

How it is used: Audio recording is active solely when you actively trigger video recording and stops immediately when recording ends.

🖼️ Apple Photo Library

Why required: To save your geotagged photos and videos directly into your native iOS Photos library and display your recent captures in the in-app gallery.

How it is used: The App uses standard Apple PhotoKit APIs to read and write media files created by the App.

Third-Party Services & Advertising

To support ongoing maintenance and remain free on the Apple App Store, GPS Camera may display advertisements served by Google AdMob.

Google AdMob may automatically collect and process certain non-personal or pseudonymized data to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements, including:

  • Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), strictly subject to your explicit consent via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt
  • General device characteristics (device model, iOS version, screen resolution)
  • Approximate location derived from IP address (not from the App's CoreLocation GPS feed)
  • Ad interaction metrics (impressions, clicks)

This data is processed directly by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We do not integrate any other third-party analytics, tracking, or data-harvesting SDKs.

Apple App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

In compliance with Apple's privacy standards, the App will present an App Tracking Transparency permission request before any cross-app advertising tracking can occur. You maintain absolute control:

  • If you allow tracking: Advertisements may be tailored to your interests based on activity across apps and websites owned by other companies.
  • If you ask app not to track: Google AdMob will serve non-personalized advertisements only. Your IDFA will not be accessed.

You can modify your tracking preferences at any time in iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Data Storage & Security

Because GPS Camera stores all captured media and coordinates locally within standard iOS file formats and your device's Photos library, your security is governed by Apple's robust iOS system protections (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, and hardware encryption).

Important Note on Sharing: When you export or share photos and videos captured with GPS Camera via Messages, Email, or social media, the embedded EXIF location metadata will be transferred with the file. Please exercise caution when sharing geo-tagged media publicly.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliant)

The App is general audience software and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because the App operates without accounts or external server data transmission, it is inherently compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child privacy regulations.

Your Controls & Rights

You retain total authority over your data and hardware access at all times:

  • Revoke Permissions: Toggle Camera, Microphone, Location, or Photo Library access instantly via iOS Settings → GPS Camera.
  • Delete Media: Removing files from your iOS Gallery permanently deletes the visual data and embedded GPS metadata.
  • Uninstalling: Deleting the App removes all local preferences and temporary caches.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this document to reflect iOS feature enhancements or regulatory changes. Updated versions will be posted here with a revised "Effective Date". Continued use of the App signifies acknowledgment of the updated policy.
