    Last updated: December 2024

    Introduction

    GeoTag.world ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and photo geotagging services.

    Our Privacy-First Approach

    Your photos never leave your device. GeoTag.world processes all images entirely within your web browser using client-side technology. This means:

    • Your photos are never uploaded to our servers
    • We cannot access, view, or store your images
    • All GPS metadata extraction and editing happens locally on your device
    • No image data is transmitted over the internet

    Information We Collect

    Analytics Data

    We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve our services. These tools may collect:

    • Pages visited and time spent on pages
    • Device type, browser, and operating system
    • Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
    • Referral source (how you found our website)
    • Interactions with website elements

    Feedback Data

    If you submit feedback through our feedback form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, which may include your email address and message content.

    Cookies and Tracking Technologies

    • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly
    • Analytics cookies: Help us understand website usage (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity)

    How We Use Your Information

    We use the collected information to:

    • Understand user behavior and preferences
    • Respond to feedback and support requests
    • Ensure website security and prevent abuse

    Data Sharing

    We do not sell your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated analytics data with third-party service providers (Google, Microsoft) who help us analyze website usage. These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of data.

    Data Retention

    Since we do not store your photos or image data, there is nothing to retain. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity default retention periods. Feedback submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry.

    • Access the personal data we hold about you
    • Request correction of inaccurate data
    • Request deletion of your data

    Children's Privacy

    Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

    Security

    We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
