What the app does with your data

EXIF Remover reads the metadata of photos you pick with the Android Photo Picker. It can show it, remove the GPS location, remove the rest of the metadata (Pro) and make a cleaned copy. Your original photo is never changed. The app has no account, no backend and no analytics or advertising SDK, and the app itself sends nothing anywhere.

What is collected

• Diagnostics (App info and performance): collected, not shared, required. This is the technical data Google Play Billing handles when you buy or restore Pro. We do not receive your card or payment details; Google does.
• Nothing else is collected: no name, email, device location, contacts, photos, files, microphone audio, camera capture or device identifiers.

Photos, location and files

• Photos are processed on your phone. Cleaned copies are written to the app's private cache and are shared only when you choose a destination in Android's share sheet. Copies you have already shared are outside the app and are not touched by Delete all data.
• The app reads a photo's GPS tag from the photo file itself. It never asks for your device location. If you tap Open map, the photo's coordinates are handed to the maps app you choose; that app has its own privacy policy.
• The app keeps a short history on your phone: file names, times and what was done. It does not keep your photos.

Permissions

The app asks for no runtime permissions and declares no storage, media, location, camera, microphone, contacts or notification permission. Google Play Billing adds the install-time permissions it needs for purchases (billing and network access).

Your controls

• Settings > Export all my data saves the history as a JSON file you choose.
• Settings > Delete all data erases the history and the cache and returns the app to a fresh install.
• Uninstalling the app removes its data. Cloud backup, if you have it on, may hold the history database; Android lets you delete that from your Google account.
• Subscriptions are managed in Google Play (Settings > Manage subscription). Cancel the yearly plan anytime in Google Play.

Children

The app is not designed for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
