Privacy Policy

MapTag Camera stamps your photos with the location they were taken. Your photos and the location data on them stay on your device and in your own photo gallery. We do not run user accounts, we do not sell your data, and we never upload your photos to our servers. The only data that leaves your device is an approximate set of coordinates sent to our backend so we can look up the nearby place name and map for the stamp.

MapTag Camera (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a mobile camera app for iOS and Android that overlays location metadata onto photos. It is a product of Zouk. For any privacy question, contact us at info@zouk.agency.

• Location.With your permission, the app reads your device’s GPS coordinates, heading (compass) and altitude to place them on the stamp. Coordinates are sent to our backend only to resolve the nearest place name and a static map image for that spot.
• Camera. The camera is used solely to take the photo you are capturing. The image is processed on your device.
• Photo library.With your permission, saved photos are written to your gallery, and the app reads its own “MapTag Camera” album to show your recent shots and a count. If you choose a custom logo (Pro), the selected image is stored locally on your device.
• Purchases. Pro subscriptions are handled by the app stores and RevenueCat. We receive only your subscription status (active or not), never your card details.
• Ads (free tier). If ads are enabled, Google AdMob may process advertising identifiers as described in its own policy. Pro removes ads entirely.

• We do not require an account, name, email or phone number to use the app.
• We do not upload, store, or have access to your photos.
• We do not store your GPS coordinates on our servers beyond the momentary request needed to return a place name and map.
• We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

When you open the camera, the app sends your coordinates to our backend, which calls Google Maps Platform (Places & Static Maps) to return the nearest place and a small map image. These requests are used only to build the stamp and are not used to profile or track you. Google’s handling of those requests is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

• Google Maps Platform — place lookup and map images.
• RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play — subscription management and billing.
• Google AdMob — advertising in the free tier (only when enabled).

Photos, the custom logo, your settings and the capture history live only on your device until you delete them (or uninstall the app). Location lookup requests to our backend are processed in memory to answer the request and are not retained as personal profiles. Basic, non-identifying request logs may be kept briefly for security and abuse prevention.

• You can revoke camera, location or photo-library permission at any time in your device settings; the relevant features will simply stop working.
• You can delete any stamped photo from your gallery; the app updates to reflect it.
• You can manage or cancel a Pro subscription in your App Store or Google Play account.
• Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR/CCPA), you may have rights to access or delete personal data. Since we hold essentially no personal data about you, contact us at info@zouk.agency and we will help.

MapTag Camera is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
