Privacy Policy for PhotoMarker

Last updated: June 26, 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is handled in the PhotoMarker application.

1. Core Privacy Principle

Your privacy is our top priority. The PhotoMarker application is designed to be a secure, client-side tool. This means **all processing of your photos and data happens directly on your device** (in your web browser).

We do not upload, collect, store, or have access to your photos or any information you add to them (like watermarks or timestamps). Your files remain yours, on your device, at all times.

2. Information We Handle

2.1. Your Photos

You provide photos to the application for processing. These photos are loaded from your device into your browser's memory for editing and are not transmitted to any server.

2.2. Application Settings

To improve your experience, the app saves your settings (such as watermark text, font sizes, and export options) in your browser's `localStorage`. This is a standard, secure storage mechanism on your device. This data is not sensitive and is never transmitted to us. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and site data for this application.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1. Google Fonts

The application uses Google Fonts to provide the "Inter" typeface. Your browser may make requests to Google's servers to load these fonts. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Advertising

This application is supported by advertising, which allows us to offer it for free. We partner with third-party advertising networks that may collect and use information about your visits to this and other apps and websites to provide you with more relevant advertising.

These third-party services may use cookies, device identifiers (like the Google Advertising ID or Apple's IDFA), and other technologies to collect information such as your IP address, device type, and operating system to show you personalized ads that are more likely to be of interest to you.

We do not share any of your personal photos or the content you create within the app with our advertising partners.

For more information on how to opt-out of personalized advertising, please check the privacy settings on your mobile device.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Beyond the functional `localStorage` mentioned above and the technologies used by our advertising partners as described in Section 4, the PhotoMarker application does not use cookies or any other tracking technologies to monitor your activity.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
