Introduction

Film Timestamp ("we", "our", or "the app") is an iOS application that lets you add classic film-style date and time stamps to photos on your device. This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles information when you use it.

We built Film Timestamp with privacy as a default, not an afterthought. The app is designed to work entirely on-device. No account is required, no data is sent to external servers, and no analytics are collected.

Device Permissions

The app requests the following iOS permissions. Each is used solely to provide core app functionality and for no other purpose.

Photo Library
Read Access
Required to let you select a photo from your library to apply a timestamp to. Photos are read locally on your device and are never uploaded, copied to external storage, or transmitted anywhere.
Photo Library
Write Access
Required to save your finished stamped photo back to your Photo Library. The app creates a new image — your original photo is never modified or deleted.
Location
(Optional)
Only requested if you explicitly enable the Location Stamp feature in the editor. Your location is used to look up a city and country name (via on-device reverse geocoding) to display on the stamp. Location data is used in the moment and is never stored, logged, or transmitted.
On-Device Only

All photo processing, timestamp rendering, and location lookups happen entirely on your iPhone using iOS system APIs. No data leaves your device at any point during the app's operation.

The app is distributed through Apple's App Store. Apple may collect certain information as part of the App Store platform and iOS system. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for details on data Apple collects.

Children's Privacy

Film Timestamp is rated 4+ on the App Store. The app does not collect any personal information from any user, including children. Since no data is collected, the app fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent regulations.

06 —

Data Security

Because Film Timestamp collects no user data and operates entirely on-device, there is no user data stored on any server that could be compromised in a breach. Your photos and location information remain under the control of your device and iOS at all times.

Saved photos are stored in your iOS Photo Library, which is protected by your device's built-in security, including Face ID, Touch ID, and device encryption.

07 —

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. Given that the app collects no personal data, any future changes are expected to be minor clarifications only.
