ImageProps Privacy Policy
Transparent, privacy-by-design data handling. Learn how ImageProps: EXIF Photo Editor processes camera metadata, EXIF specifications, and location tags strictly on your Android device.
Local Processing Principle
Privacy by Design Architecture
The Application operates under the core principle of privacy by design:
-
Strictly Local Metadata Operations: All reading, extraction, display, and modification of EXIF, IPTC, XMP metadata, or photo attributes is performed strictly locally on your device.
-
Zero External Servers: The Application does not operate any external servers, does not transmit any photos or metadata outside your device, and does not sell or share images or personal data with third parties.
Handling of GPS Coordinates and Location Metadata
Embedded Geolocation Tags & User Privacy
Many digital photographs automatically contain embedded GPS coordinates within their EXIF metadata recorded at the exact moment of capture.
-
Purpose-Limited Access: The Application accesses these embedded coordinates solely to display the photo's location and allow you to view, edit, add, or scrub it to protect your privacy before sharing.
-
No Real-Time Tracking: The Application does not track your real-time physical location and does not use background geolocation services to trace your device.
-
Zero Remote Transmission: The coordinates you view, add, or modify in your images are never transmitted to any external server or third party.
Storage and Gallery Access
Native Android Storage Mechanisms
To deliver its core features, the Application requires access to the images you choose:
-
Native Android Frameworks: The Application utilizes native Android storage mechanisms (such as the modern Photo Picker, Storage Access Framework, or standard media permissions) exclusively to open the photos you explicitly select and save changes upon your confirmation.
-
Strictly User-Initiated Scope: Access is strictly limited to the reading and editing actions you initiate. The Application does not index, scan in the background, or transmit the contents of your photos.
Third-Party Services and In-App Purchases
Google Play Billing
If you choose to make an in-app donation or purchase, the transaction is processed directly through Google Play in accordance with Google's terms of service and privacy policy. The Application does not collect, process, or store credit card details, banking credentials, or financial data.
No Analytics or Advertisements
The Application contains no third-party tracking tools, advertising SDKs, or invasive analytics platforms. We do not build user behavioral profiles or monetize your personal information.
User Rights and Data Retention (GDPR Compliance)
Data Minimization & Complete User Control
Because the Application does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to external servers, we do not retain your data in remote databases. You retain complete control over your photos and metadata:
-
Right to Erasure & Rectification: You can strip or modify EXIF metadata directly within the Application before sharing your photos.
-
Instant Local Deletion: Uninstalling the Application deletes all locally stored user preferences and temporary caches maintained by the Android operating system.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
If future updates introduce features that modify how data is handled, this privacy policy will be updated with a revised date on its hosting page and reflected directly on the Google Play Store listing.
