# Privacy Policy for PastPresent
**Last updated:** March 26, 2026
**Developer:** Berlin Experiences

## Overview
PastPresent (“the App”) is a rephotography application that lets you overlay historic photos on your camera viewfinder to capture matching present-day images. This privacy policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your choices.
## Data We Collect
### Camera Access
The App requires camera access to capture photos and record video. Camera data is processed entirely on your device. Photos and videos are saved to your device’s local storage only.
### Location Data
With your permission, the App captures your device’s GPS coordinates when you take a photo. This location data is:
– Embedded in the photo’s EXIF metadata (standard photo geotagging)
– Stored locally in the App’s database on your device
Location data is **never transmitted to any server**. It remains entirely on your device. You can deny location permission and the App will still function — photos will simply not include GPS coordinates.
### Local Storage
The App stores project data, photo references, and settings in a local database on your device. This data is not backed up to cloud services and is not accessible to the developer.
### Advertising
The free version of the App displays banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:
– Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID)
– Device information (model, OS version)
– General location (based on IP address, not GPS)
– App usage data for ad personalization
You can opt out of personalized advertising in your device settings: **Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization**.
For more information, see [Google’s Advertising Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads).
### In-App Purchases
The App offers a one-time premium upgrade through Google Play Billing. Purchase transactions are handled entirely by Google Play. The developer does not collect or store any payment information.
## Data We Do NOT Collect
– We do **not** collect your name, email, or any personal identification
– We do **not** upload your photos to any server
– We do **not** track your location in the background
– We do **not** have user accounts or registration
– We do **not** collect analytics or usage data beyond what AdMob provides
– We do **not** share any data with third parties (except AdMob as described above)
## Data Storage and Security
All App data (projects, photos, settings, premium status) is stored locally on your device. No data is transmitted to or stored on external servers operated by the developer.
## Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. The App contains advertising, which may not be appropriate for children.
## Your Rights
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control:
– **Delete data:** Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data
– **Clear data:** Use Android Settings > Apps > PastPresent > Clear Data
– **Deny permissions:** Revoke camera or location permission at any time in device settings
– **Opt out of ad personalization:** Via Android device settings
## Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
