Privacy Policy

Overview

geotagphoto.online ("we", "our", "the website") is a free browser-based tool that lets you add location, map, and date information to your photos. We take your privacy seriously, and this policy explains exactly how the tool handles your data.

Your Photos Are Never Uploaded

All photo processing happens 100% locally, inside your own browser, using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. When you select a photo, it is never transmitted, uploaded, or sent to any server owned by us. The finished image is generated directly on your device and offered to you as a direct download — we never see or store a copy of it.

Location Data

Location coordinates you enter, search for, or allow via your browser's GPS permission are used only to render the map preview and to write GPS metadata into your downloaded photo. This data is processed locally and is not collected or stored on our servers.

Local Storage (Saved Location Feature)

The "Save as Default" feature uses your browser's built-in localStorage to remember a location you choose, purely for your convenience on future visits. This data stays on your own device and browser — it is never sent to us or to any third party, and you can clear it anytime by clearing your browser's site data.

Third-Party Services Used by the Tool

To provide map tiles and place search, the tool makes direct requests from your browser to the following third-party services: OpenStreetMap / Nominatim (for map tiles and address search) and Esri ArcGIS (for satellite map imagery). These requests come directly from your device to these providers, governed by their own privacy policies, and do not pass through our servers.

Cookies and Advertising

This website may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve relevant ads based on your visit to this and other websites. You can manage ad personalization through your Google Account settings or browser preferences.

Children's Privacy

This website does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since no photos or personal data are uploaded to our servers, no such data is retained regardless of the user's age.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
