We are committed to protecting your privacy. The Application is designed to process your photos primarily on your device.

  • GPS coordinates stored within photo metadata

The Application uses this information solely to provide photo management, tagging, search, display, and metadata editing functionality.

The Application does not track your device's real-time location and does not collect location information independently of the metadata already stored in your photos.
