This Privacy Policy applies to the Android application PhotoClean: EXIF Remover, published under the developer display name SensorLinQ Apps.

SensorLinQ Apps is the public developer display name used for our mobile applications. It is not a separate registered company name. References to “SensorLinQ Apps”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this Privacy Policy refer to the developer/publisher of PhotoClean: EXIF Remover.

This Privacy Policy explains how PhotoClean: EXIF Remover handles photos, captured images, metadata, advertising, purchases, consent choices, third-party services, and user data.

1. App purpose

PhotoClean: EXIF Remover is designed to help users detect, view, and remove metadata from photos.

Photo metadata may include EXIF metadata such as camera information, timestamps, image dimensions, orientation, and GPS/location metadata if that information is present in the selected image.

The app allows users to create cleaned versions of photos with metadata removed according to the options selected by the user.

2. Photo selection

PhotoClean: EXIF Remover allows users to select photos from their device.

Photo access is used only for the functionality requested by the user, such as:

Selecting a photo

Detecting photo metadata

Showing metadata information

Removing metadata

Saving or exporting a cleaned version of the photo

The app does not automatically scan the user’s full photo library.

The app only processes photos selected by the user.

Current app feature data-handling context

PhotoClean may be used before sharing, uploading, sending, archiving, or posting photos online.

Current app features may include reviewing detected metadata, resize and compress options, batch photo cleaning, custom presets, advanced supported EXIF removal, and direct sharing. These features process selected photos on the user's device as part of the photo cleaning workflow.

Detected metadata may include camera model, device details, timestamps, image dimensions, software/editor information, GPS location data, geotags, and other supported EXIF metadata where present in the selected photo.

When PhotoClean saves a cleaned copy, the original photo remains unchanged unless the user separately changes or deletes it outside the app.

SensorLinQ Apps does not upload user photos to its own servers.

3. Camera capture

PhotoClean: EXIF Remover also includes direct photo capture using the device camera.

Direct photo capture is a Pro-only feature.

Camera access is used only when the user chooses to take a photo inside the app. Captured images are processed locally on the user’s device.

SensorLinQ Apps does not upload, store, or process captured images on its own servers.

4. Local photo and metadata processing

Selected photos and captured images are processed locally on the user’s device.

SensorLinQ Apps does not upload, store, or process users’ photos on its own servers.

The app may read metadata from selected or captured images, including:

Camera details

Device details

Date and time information

Image dimensions

Image orientation

Lens information

GPS/location metadata, if present in the image

Other technical EXIF or image metadata fields contained in the image

This metadata is used only to detect, display, and remove metadata as part of the app’s photo cleaning functionality.

When the user saves or exports a cleaned image, the app creates a cleaned version of the image according to the options selected by the user.

5. GPS and location metadata

Some photos may contain GPS/location metadata inside the image file. This can include information such as latitude, longitude, altitude, or other location-related EXIF fields.

PhotoClean: EXIF Remover may read and remove GPS/location metadata from selected or captured photos when requested by the user.

This location metadata is processed locally on the user’s device and is used only for metadata detection, viewing, and removal.

The app does not use photo GPS metadata to track the user’s real-time location.

6. Data we collect directly

PhotoClean: EXIF Remover does not require users to create an account.

SensorLinQ Apps does not directly collect names, email addresses, account login details, uploaded photos, captured photos, personal documents, or payment card details through PhotoClean: EXIF Remover.

Photos, captured images, and image metadata are processed locally on the user’s device.

The availability and wording of these choices may depend on Google AdMob, Google User Messaging Platform, and applicable privacy requirements.

For users in certain US states, PhotoClean: EXIF Remover may provide privacy choices required by applicable state privacy laws.

Where required, users may be able to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined by applicable laws.
