Timestamp Camera privacy policy

Effective 3 November 2026

Timestamp Camera stamps the date, time and place into your photos and videos. It has no account, no server of its own and no ads. Your photos stay on your phone.

What stays on your phone

• Photos and videos, kept in the app and added to your phone's photo library. They are never sent to us.
• Your location, addresses, saved places, projects, templates, your text and your logo. The app uses your location to write the stamp, and only while it is on screen. None of this is sent to us.

Photos leave your phone only when you share or export them yourself.

What goes to Apple, on an iPhone

• Addresses and maps. To turn your location into an address and a small map, the app asks Apple's own services, as any iPhone app with a map does. Apple's privacy policy covers these requests.
• Purchases. Pro is sold by Apple. The app never sees your payment details.

What goes to Google and the map host, on an Android phone

• Addresses. To turn your location into an address and a short list of nearby addresses, the app asks Android's own geocoder, which on most phones is a Google service. Google's privacy policy covers these requests.
• Maps. The small map is drawn on the phone from OpenStreetMap data, fetched from OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org). The app asks for the map squares around your location, so the host sees your connection's IP address and that area, not your coordinates or address. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, © OpenMapTiles.
• Purchases. Pro is sold by Google Play. The app never sees your payment details.

What goes to Google Firebase

The app uses three Firebase services. None of them receives your photos, coordinates, addresses, notes, file names or name. All of it is "not linked to you" and none of it is used for tracking or advertising.

• Usage counts (Firebase Analytics): how often the features below are used, with an app instance ID and device information such as the phone model and system version. Google Analytics also works out an approximate location (country, region and city) from the connection's IP address and keeps only that approximate location. Counted: a photo taken, a video recorded, an export or share, an address corrected, the price screen opened, a purchase restored, and a verified purchase. On Android, Google Analytics also records a purchase made through Google Play by itself, with the product and its price. You can turn this off at any time under Settings, Share usage data. With it off, no count leaves your phone.
• Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics): what went wrong when the app stops, with performance data and an installation ID, so faults can be fixed. These are sent whatever the Share usage data switch says.
• Wording (Firebase Remote Config): the app fetches a few words of the price screen, sending an instance ID and the phone's country, language and time zone settings with the request.

Google handles this data under the Firebase privacy terms.

What the app does not do

• No ads, and no ad code.
• No advertising identifier and no tracking across apps.
• No account or sign-in.
• Nothing is sold or passed on to anyone for marketing.

Your choices

• Turn off usage counts under Settings, Share usage data.
• Change camera, location, microphone or Photos access in your phone's Settings at any time.
• Delete the app to delete everything it holds on your phone. Copies you added to your photo library stay there, and they are yours to keep or delete.

Children

The app is not made for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes
