Privacy policy: Job Camera: Photo Reports

Effective 2026-10-14. Provider: Plain Apps, Residenzstr. 5, 80333 Munich, Germany, plainapps@tuta.com.

In short

Job Camera has no account, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting and no servers of its own. Your photos, notes and job details stay on your phone. The Android app has no internet permission and the iPhone app makes no network connections of its own. One optional feature sends coordinates to your phone's own map service: the street-address lookup (see "Address lookup").

What the app stores

On your phone, in the app's own storage: the jobs (projects) you create (name, client, job number, site address, notes, extra fields, your name as the photographer), your photos (the camera's original files and the stamped copies), for every photo its date and time, time zone, GPS position, accuracy, altitude, compass heading, address (if any), shot type, note, drawings and SHA-256 fingerprints, your stamp styles, your business details and logo, and your settings. Deleting a photo or job in the app deletes its files from the app; uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. Copies you saved to your photo library or gallery, or that you shared, are not removed by this.

Permissions

Camera: to take the photos, asked the first time you open the camera. Location while the app is in use: to stamp the position on each photo and to show accuracy and heading; the app never reads your location in the background. If you allow only approximate location, the stamp says "approximate". Photos (iPhone, add only) or the gallery (Android): to save the stamped copies to your photo library; Job Camera cannot see your other photos. Job Camera does not use the microphone, contacts, or background location, and on Android it declares no permission to read your photos.

Address lookup (optional)

If "Look up street addresses" is on, the latitude and longitude of a photo are sent to your phone's own map service to find the address: Apple's service on iPhone, and on Android the geocoding service of your phone, which on most phones is Google's. Nothing else is sent: no photo, no job name. The result is stored in the app as the photo's address. Apple's or Google's own privacy policy applies to that request. You can turn the lookup off in Settings > Location; without it, photos keep their coordinates and the job's site address. [If the first-use question of 1c item 7 is built: "The app asks once before the first lookup."]

Files you share

Reports (PDF), ZIP files, CSV, KML and backups are created on your phone and leave it only when you share them or save them with your phone's share sheet or Files picker. They contain your photos and locations by design, and a backup file is NOT encrypted. You choose where to keep them (for example Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive or an e-mail). After you hand a file to another app or service, that app's or service's rules apply, not this policy. Job Camera reads only the files you pick for an import or a restore, and changes nothing if a file is not a Job Camera backup.

What fingerprints and stamps do and do not show

Time, position, heading and altitude on a stamp come from your phone. Job Camera does not check whether the phone's clock or location was changed. A SHA-256 fingerprint shows whether a file was changed after it was recorded; it does not prove when or where a photo was taken. Job Camera is a documentation tool: it does not make a photo legal evidence and says nothing about what a client, insurer or court accepts.

Links

[Only once the policy link exists, 1c item 6:] The link to this policy opens in your phone's browser view; that site follows its own rules and Job Camera sends nothing to it.

Phone backups

On iPhone, if iCloud Backup is switched on, your iPhone's own backup may include this app's data, including photos and locations. That is a feature of your iPhone and your Apple account, not something Job Camera sends; you can control it in your iPhone's settings. [Only after D4 / 1c item 5e: "On Android, Job Camera is excluded from Google's automatic app backup; use the app's own backup file." If Android backup stays on, write instead: "On Android, Google's backup may include this app's data if you turned it on."]

Children, ads, sharing of data

The app is not directed at children, contains no ads and shares no data with third parties.

Your rights

Because the app does not collect personal data on any server of the provider, there is nothing for the provider to access, correct or delete; uninstalling removes the app's data from your phone. Contact: plainapps@tuta.com. You may complain to your data-protection authority.

Changes

Changes will be posted here and in the app.
