Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Engineer Camera ("we," "our," or "us") handles your information when you use our mobile application (the "Service").

Engineer Camera is designed for engineers and field professionals to capture photos with embedded metadata for documentation purposes.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Photos you capture using the app
• Location data (GPS coordinates) when you grant permission

Automatically Collected Information

• Device information (manufacturer, model)
• Camera metadata (timestamp, technical camera settings)
• Location data (when permission is granted)
• App usage statistics (crashes, performance)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Embed metadata into your photos for documentation purposes
• Provide GPS coordinates and location names in photo watermarks
• Save photos to your device's gallery
• Improve app performance and fix bugs

4. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: All photos and metadata are stored locally on your device
• No Cloud Upload: We do not upload your photos or personal data to any servers
• No Account Required: The app does not require account creation or login
• Device Security: Data security relies on your device's built-in security measures

5. Permissions

The app requests the following permissions:

• Camera: Required to capture photos
• Location: Used to add GPS coordinates and location names to photos (optional)
• Storage: Required to save photos to your device's gallery
• Internet: Used only for reverse geocoding location names (optional)

You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transfer your personal information to third parties. The app:

• Does not contain advertisements
• Does not use analytics services that collect personal data
• Does not integrate with social media platforms
• Only uses Google's geocoding service to convert GPS coordinates to location names

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

• Delete the app to remove all associated data
• Manage permissions through device settings
• Delete individual photos through your device's gallery
• Disable location services to prevent GPS data collection
