Time Stamp Adder

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 24, 2026

TL;DR - Privacy First

Time Stamp Adder is designed with your privacy as the top priority. All video processing happens on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit your videos or personal information to any servers. Your data stays on your device, always.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Time Stamp Adder ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our iOS application ("the App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Time Stamp Adder is designed to respect your privacy. We do not collect, store, transmit, or share:

  • Your videos or photos
  • Personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • Location data
  • Usage analytics or crash reports
  • Any other personally identifiable information

Important: All video processing occurs entirely on your device. Your videos never leave your iPhone or iPad, and we have no access to them.

3. How the App Works

Time Stamp Adder operates completely offline and locally on your device:

  1. Video Selection: You select videos from your photo library using Apple's PhotosPicker API
  2. Processing: The app processes your video locally on your device to add timestamps
  3. Saving: The timestamped video is saved directly to your photo library
  4. Zero Data Transfer: No video data, metadata, or personal information is transmitted over the internet

4. Permissions We Request

The App requests the following permissions to function properly:

Photo Library Access

Purpose: To allow you to select videos for timestamp processing and to save the final timestamped videos.

Usage: This permission is only used when you actively select videos or save processed videos. We only access the specific videos you choose.

Control: You can revoke this permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → Time Stamp Adder.

Note: The App uses Apple's limited photo library access, meaning we can only access photos and videos you explicitly grant permission to access, not your entire library.

5. Data Storage

Time Stamp Adder stores minimal data locally on your device:

  • User Preferences: Your timestamp customization settings (position, size, format, style) are stored locally using iOS UserDefaults
  • Temporary Files: Temporary video files created during processing are automatically deleted after use
  • No Cloud Storage: No data is stored in the cloud or on external servers

6. Third-Party Services

Time Stamp Adder does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

The App does not include:

  • Third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase)
  • Advertising frameworks or SDKs
  • Social media integration
  • Crash reporting services
  • Any other third-party data collection tools

7. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously:

  • On-Device Processing: All video processing happens locally, eliminating transmission risks
  • No Network Requests: The App does not make network requests or connect to external servers
  • iOS Security: Your data benefits from Apple's built-in iOS security features, including app sandboxing and encrypted storage
  • No Backdoors: The App contains no backdoors, tracking mechanisms, or hidden data collection features

8. Children's Privacy

Time Stamp Adder does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The App is safe for users of all ages as it operates entirely locally without data collection.

9. Your Rights and Control

Since we don't collect your personal information, there is no data for you to request, modify, or delete from our servers. You have complete control over:

  • Photo Access: Manage in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos
  • App Preferences: Delete the App to remove all locally stored preferences
  • Video Data: All videos remain in your control within your photo library

10. International Users

Since Time Stamp Adder processes all data locally on your device and does not transmit any information, there are no international data transfer concerns. The App complies with privacy regulations worldwide, including:

  • GDPR (European Union)
  • CCPA (California)
  • Other regional privacy laws

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by:

  • Posting the updated policy with a new "Last Updated" date
  • Providing notice within the App (if applicable)

Your continued use of the App after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.

12. App Store Compliance

This App complies with Apple's App Store Review Guidelines and privacy requirements:

  • Privacy Manifest: The App includes an Apple Privacy Manifest detailing all API usage
  • App Store Privacy Labels: Our App Store listing accurately reflects that we collect no data
  • Transparency: This privacy policy is easily accessible and written in clear language

13. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the legal basis for processing your data (which is minimal and local-only) is:

  • Consent: You grant permission for photo library access
  • Legitimate Interest: Processing videos locally to provide the app's core functionality
