SUSAMP INFOTECH LLP ("Company", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of users of the GPS Map Camera: Geo Timestamp mobile application (the "App"), available on Google Play for Android and the Apple App Store for iOS and iPadOS.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, with whom it may be shared, and the choices and rights you have regarding your information. This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
1. Scope of This Policy
1.1 This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the App on both Android and iOS/iPadOS platforms. It does not apply to:
- Third-party apps, services, or websites that you may access through links or integrations in the App (such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, weather services, advertising networks, email clients, and messaging apps), each of which has its own privacy policy;
- Information collected offline or through channels unrelated to the App;
- Other apps published by SUSAMP INFOTECH LLP, which have their own privacy policies.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you use the App, you may voluntarily provide the following information, which is used to stamp your photos and videos on your device:
- Custom logos or brand images you upload for stamping;
- Notes, hashtags, captions, person names, and contact numbers you add as stamps;
- Custom text or stickers you add to photos;
- Email address when you contact support or configure email-sharing features;
- Feedback, reviews, and communications you send to us.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the App, the following information may be collected automatically by the App or by third-party SDKs integrated into the App:
- Precise location data — GPS latitude, longitude, altitude, accuracy, and address information derived from your device's location services. This data is used to display and stamp location information onto your photos and videos.
- Camera and microphone input — photos, videos, and audio captured through the App. Captured media is processed locally on your device and saved to your device's photo library unless you share it.
- Sensor data — compass direction, magnetic field, motion, altitude, and sound decibel (dB) level readings from your device's sensors.
- Weather and environmental data — temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed, fetched from third-party weather providers based on your location.
- Device information — device model, manufacturer, operating system version, screen resolution, system language, time zone, and mobile network information.
- Advertising identifiers — the Android Advertising ID (AAID) on Android devices and the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS devices (only where you have granted permission under Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework).
- Usage and analytics data — app events, feature usage, session duration, crash reports, performance metrics, and error logs.
- Approximate IP-based location — your IP address may be used to derive approximate geographic location for analytics and ad delivery.
2.3 Information Collected via In-App Purchases
When you make an in-app purchase, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing (on Android) or Apple In-App Purchase (on iOS). We do not receive or store your payment card details. We may receive a purchase confirmation, product identifier, and transaction ID for the purpose of delivering the purchased feature and preventing fraud.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
- To provide core App functionality — capturing photos/videos, generating map snapshots, stamping location and sensor data, fetching weather and address information, and saving captured media.
- To operate and maintain the App — detecting and fixing bugs, monitoring performance, and ensuring stability.
- To deliver advertising — free users are shown advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob). These ads may be personalized based on your Advertising Identifier and other data collected by ad networks.
- To analyze usage — understand which features are used, measure user engagement, and improve the App.
- To process purchases — verify in-app purchases, restore previous purchases, and prevent fraud.
- To communicate with you — respond to your support inquiries, send service-related notices, and inform you of material changes to this Policy.
- To comply with legal obligations — respond to lawful requests, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect our rights and the rights of others.
4. Location Information — Detailed Disclosure
The App is fundamentally a location-based service. By design, the App collects and uses precise location data (GPS coordinates) to stamp location information onto your photos and videos.
Without location permission, core features of the App will not work.
4.1 Location data is primarily processed on your device to generate the stamp and is embedded into the image or video you capture.
4.2 Location data may be transmitted to third-party services solely for the purpose of:
- Reverse-geocoding coordinates into human-readable addresses (via map providers such as Google Maps or Apple Maps);
- Fetching weather information for your current location (via weather data providers);
- Rendering map snapshots for stamping onto images.
4.3 We do not sell your location data. We do not use background location tracking unless a specific feature you enable expressly requires it, in which case you will be informed at the time the feature is activated.
4.4 You can grant or revoke location permission at any time through your device settings. On Android, you may choose between "Precise" and "Approximate" location where supported; "Approximate" location may reduce stamp accuracy. On iOS, you may choose "While Using the App" or "Never" — choosing "Never" will prevent core features from working.
5. Camera, Microphone, and Storage Access
5.1 The App requires access to your camera to capture photos and videos, and to your microphone for sound decibel measurement and video recording.
5.2 The App requires access to your photos/media/storage (Android) or Photos library (iOS) to save stamped images and videos, and optionally to import existing images for stamping.
5.3 Captured media is stored on your device. We do not upload, copy, or retain your photos or videos on our servers. Sharing a stamped image (via email, messaging, or social media) is initiated by you and is subject to the receiving platform's own privacy policies.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share certain information in the following limited circumstances:
6.1 Third-Party Service Providers
We use trusted third parties to provide essential services for the App. These providers may receive specific data needed to perform their functions:
- Google LLC — Google Play Services, Google Play Billing, Google AdMob (advertising), Google Maps/Geocoding, Firebase (analytics, crash reporting), and related services.
- Apple Inc. — Apple App Store, In-App Purchase, Apple Maps, MapKit, and related iOS frameworks.
- Weather data providers — to obtain temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind data.
- Advertising networks — to serve ads in the free version of the App.
- Analytics and crash reporting providers — to help us understand and improve App performance.
6.2 Legal Disclosures
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, legal process, subpoenas, court order, or governmental request, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with a legal obligation; (b) protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others; or (c) investigate, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues.
6.3 Business Transfers
If SUSAMP INFOTECH LLP is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to customary confidentiality arrangements.
7. Advertising and Tracking

- Measure the effectiveness of ads;
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad;
- Detect and prevent fraudulent ad activity.
7.2 You have the following choices:
- On Android — you can reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of personalized advertising, through Google Settings > Ads on your device.
- On iOS — under Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, the App will ask your permission before tracking you across other apps and websites. You can change this choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking
