Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Photo Metadata Exporter ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our application.

2. Information We Collect

Photo Metadata Exporter is designed to work without collecting your personal data.

2.1 Photos and Images

Your photos are not uploaded to our servers. Photo selection and processing are performed on your device.

2.2 Photo Metadata

Photo metadata is accessed only when you choose to export. The extracted metadata is written into the Excel file you generate and share. We do not collect or store this metadata on our servers.

2.3 Background Collection (App)

We do not collect user data in the background from the iOS app.

2.4 Website Analytics

Our website (photo2xl.com) uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate visitor behavior — pages viewed, country, device type, referral source. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect IP-derived approximate location. We use this data solely to improve the website. It is never combined with photo content or app usage data (the app itself does not communicate with our servers).

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by using your browser's "Do Not Track" or private browsing mode. See Google's privacy policy for details on how Google handles this data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We do not collect your photos or personal data. When you use the app, photo processing and metadata extraction happen on your device, and the only persistent output is the Excel file you choose to generate.

4. Data Storage and Security

We do not store your photos or metadata on our servers. Any metadata you export is stored only inside the Excel file you generate and share.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations or court orders
• To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
• With trusted service providers who assist in operating our app (under strict confidentiality agreements)

6. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request access to your personal information
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information
• Objection: Object to processing of your data
• Data Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete such information.

8. International Data Transfers

We do not upload your photos or photo metadata to our servers, so we generally do not transfer this information internationally.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
