1. Introduction
AB Labs ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the GPS Loc Camera mobile application.
2. Information We Collect & Permissions Required
To provide the core functionalities of stamping photos with real-time geographical data, our app requires the following permissions:
Camera Permission: Required to capture photos.
Location Permission (Foreground): Required to fetch your geographic coordinates while using the app to accurately stamp your photos and display maps.
Storage/Photos Permission: Required to save the captured and stamped photos directly to your device's local gallery.
Internet/Network Access: Required to fetch reverse-geocoded addresses, weather data, and map tiles (via third-party services) and to serve advertisements.
3. How We Use Your Data
Photos and photo-stamping operations are processed locally on your device. Certain information, such as location coordinates, may be temporarily transmitted to third-party mapping, geocoding, weather, or advertising services to provide app functionality. We do not upload, store on remote servers, or sell your personal photos, location history, or personal identity to third parties.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell or share personal data. Limited information, such as approximate or precise location coordinates, may be temporarily transmitted to third-party mapping, weather, or advertising providers solely to provide app functionality.
5. Third-Party Services
Our app utilizes the following third-party services which may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies:
Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Used to display advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers, approximate location, and advertising-related information in accordance with Google's privacy practices to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.
OpenStreetMap & Native Geocoding: We transmit anonymous location coordinates to OpenStreetMap to fetch map tiles. We also utilize device-native geocoding services provided by the operating system to convert coordinates into readable addresses.
Open-Meteo Weather API: We temporarily transmit location coordinates to retrieve current weather data for your photo stamp.
6. Data Security & Retention
Because we do not transmit your photos or location logs to our servers, you retain full control over your data. Photos are saved directly to your device storage. If you wish to delete your data, you can simply delete the photos from your gallery and uninstall the app.
7. Your Choices & Data Deletion
Since app-generated photos are stored locally on your device, users may delete them at any time through device storage or by uninstalling the application.
8. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since the app does not store personal data on our servers, no such information is intentionally retained.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
