Privacy Policy
What we collect, what we don't, and where your data goes when you use TimeStamp Camera.
What stays on your device
Your photos. Both the web stamp tool and the EXIF viewer run entirely in your browser. We never upload, transmit, or store your photos. Close the tab and the file is gone. There is no copy on any server.
Your stamp settings.Date format, palette, watermark, and other tool preferences live in your browser's local storage when you re-visit. They are not sent to us.
What leaves the browser
Reverse geocoding.When you press "Use my location," the GPS coordinate from your device is sent to OpenStreetMap Nominatim to convert it into a street address. The coordinate is sent over HTTPS; we do not store the request. OpenStreetMap's policy applies to that lookup.
Map tiles. The EXIF viewer embeds an OpenStreetMap tile when a photo carries GPS. The map iframe is loaded from openstreetmap.org with a no-referrer-when-downgrade policy.
Outbound links.The "Get the app" button opens Apple's App Store. Apple's privacy policy applies there.
Analytics
We may use one or more of the following to understand which pages are useful and which are not:
- Plausible Analytics: privacy-respecting, cookieless, no personal data collected. Aggregates page views and referrer.
- Google Analytics 4: used only when explicitly enabled. Sets first-party cookies and may collect IP address and user-agent. We never share GA data.
You can block analytics with any browser extension (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger). The site works the same with or without analytics loaded.
Processed-photos counter. The number in the top bar is a single global tally of how many photos have been processed across the whole site. Each tool use or download adds an anonymous +1 to that shared total. It records only a count. It never includes your photo, its name, its contents, EXIF, or GPS, and your photo is still processed entirely in your browser.
Cookies
The site uses no cookies for its core function. Optional cookies are set only when Google Analytics 4 is enabled (a first-party_ga cookie used to distinguish unique sessions), or by advertising (see below).
Advertising
We may show ads from Google AdSense on our articles and guides to help keep the tools free. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party cookie use for personalized ads at aboutads.info/choices. In the EU/UK we show a consent prompt and only set ad cookies with your agreement.
Ads never change the core promise of the tools: your photos are still processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to us, to Google, or to any advertiser.
iOS app
The Timestamp Camera iOS app handles GPS, time, and image data entirely on your device. The app does not upload your photos or collect personal data. See the App Store privacy summary on the iOS app page for the formal disclosure.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be flagged in a release note on Photo guides.
