Timestamped GPS is a field camera and reporting tool. This policy explains what the app handles, what stays on your device, and what may be sent to service providers.
Information Timestamped GPS handles
- Photos and videos you capture, plus the company, project, note, checklist, and report information you enter.
- Capture time, a verification code, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the original file.
- Precise coordinates, location accuracy, and a derived street address when you grant location access.
- For Premium Weather Context, capture coordinates and time sent to the Timestamped GPS service and Apple Weather to return nearby conditions.
- Clock punches and local timesheet information.
- An anonymous purchase identifier and App Store product, transaction, and entitlement status when Timestamped GPS Pro is enabled.
- Advertising, product-interaction, performance, and diagnostics data processed by the advertising SDK when ads are enabled.
Local storage and sharing
Photos, videos, Gallery records, project links, stamp profiles, inspection templates, reports, and timesheets are stored on your device unless you choose to save, share, or export them. A recipient or storage provider handles anything you share according to its own terms and privacy practices.
Optional public verification records
Public registry publishing is off by default. If you enable it, Timestamped GPS sends the verification code, original-file fingerprint, device-reported capture time, time-source label, and limited lifecycle information to the verification service. The service adds its own server registration time. The photo itself is not uploaded to the registry.
Precise coordinates and street address have separate controls and remain off unless you independently enable each one. A verification result confirms that a record and fingerprint were registered; it does not independently prove what the camera saw or authenticate a physical location.
Weather is published on a proof record only when Premium Weather Context is present and exact-location publishing was also enabled. Weather values are provider-reported near capture time and are not independently verified by Timestamped GPS.
Advertising, purchases, and measurement
Advertising
Timestamped GPS may use Google Mobile Ads on approved low-pressure screens. The initial design requests non-personalized ads and does not ask for access to Apple’s advertising identifier. Consent choices are available in the app where required.
Timestamped GPS Pro
When purchases are enabled, Apple processes payment and RevenueCat processes an anonymous app user identifier plus product, transaction, subscription, and entitlement information needed to purchase, restore, and manage Pro. Timestamped GPS does not collect your payment-card number.
Privacy-minimized measurement
When remotely enabled, the app may send a random install identifier and a small allow-listed set of Gallery, ad, capture-detail, and Pro-preview events. The service replaces the install identifier with a salted one-way pseudonymous value. This event contract rejects media, verification codes, file fingerprints, coordinates, addresses, and timesheet content.
Service-provider protection
Service providers that receive information from Timestamped GPS are required to use it only to provide their contracted services and to protect it to the same or an equivalent standard described in this policy and required by applicable law.
Retention and deletion
Local records remain until you delete them or remove the app. New public verification records normally expire after 365 days. The device stores a separate deletion credential for new public records; deleting the local capture queues deletion of its public record and retries after an offline deletion. Older records without a device-held deletion credential require support.
Privacy-minimized product and advertising events are retained for no more than 90 days when that service is enabled.
Your choices
You can control camera, microphone, location, and Photos permissions in system Settings. About & Privacy contains separate controls for public verification publishing, exact-location publishing, address publishing, and advertising privacy choices. You may request privacy assistance or legacy-record deletion using the contact below.
Children
Timestamped GPS is a work-documentation tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Policy changes
Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date on this page. The policy in effect when you use the service applies to that use.
