Privacy Policy for Photo Exif Metadata Editor
Effective date: October 20, 2026
Photo Exif Metadata Editor (“the app”) lets you view, edit, and remove the metadata stored inside your photos. It is provided by Rexyrex. Contact: rexyrex.dev@gmail.com.
Your photos and their metadata
You choose the photos the app works on, through the system photo picker, your photo library, or the camera. The app reads and edits their metadata (EXIF and similar tags), including camera and lens details, capture date and time, descriptions, keywords, and GPS location tags. On Android, the app asks for media access, including permission to read the location stored in your photos, only so it can show and edit those tags.
All reading, editing, and removal of metadata happens on your device. Your photos, their metadata, and their location tags are never uploaded to us or to any other server. The app has no account and no cloud sync.
The app saves an edited copy of a photo, or updates the original when you allow it. Temporary working files are kept in the app’s private storage and cleaned up automatically. A photo leaves your device only when you choose to share it through your system’s share sheet; the app you share with then handles it under its own policy. Remember that a shared photo carries whatever metadata you left in it.
Advertising
The Android app shows ads from Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To deliver and measure ads, limit how often they appear, and prevent fraud, AdMob may automatically collect the Android advertising identifier, your IP address and the approximate location inferred from it, technical information such as device model, operating system and language, and interactions with ads. AdMob never receives your photos or their metadata.
In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your ad consent through Google’s User Messaging Platform before requesting ads, and offers a way to change that choice later. You can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads). For how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Analytics and crash reports
The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics, services of Google LLC, to understand how the app is used and to find and fix crashes.
Analytics automatically records basic usage, such as app opens, sessions and their length, screens viewed, the app version, device model, operating system, language, and the country or region derived from your IP address, together with an identifier that Firebase creates for each installation (the app instance ID).
When the app crashes or hits a serious error, Crashlytics receives a crash report: the stack trace, device model, operating system and app versions, technical state such as free memory and disk space, and a Crashlytics installation identifier. Crash reports are sent only from release versions of the app.
Firebase never receives your photos or their metadata, and the app records no custom events, user IDs or user properties. A crash report can occasionally contain technical details such as the name or path of a file involved in the error.
This information is used only to keep the app stable and improve it. It is not used to track you or to personalize ads, and it is not sold. Firebase processes it as a service provider to the developer.
Data stored on your device
Edited photos, saved copies, and the app’s settings stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Fonts are bundled with the app and are never downloaded.
Retention
Crashlytics keeps crash reports for up to 90 days. Analytics data is kept under the data-retention setting of the app’s Google Analytics property. Information collected by AdMob is kept under Google’s policies.
Your choices and rights
You can pick only the photos you want the app to see, revoke photo, camera, or media-location access in your device settings, change your ad consent where offered, reset your advertising identifier, or stop using the app. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, or obtain a copy of personal data. Because the app has no accounts and we never receive your photos, most data can be erased by deleting it on your device or uninstalling the app; contact us for anything else.
Providers
Children, security, and updates
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Google’s services may process data outside your country. Data sent by the app’s ad and Firebase services travels over HTTPS, but no transmission or storage system is perfectly secure. We update this policy when practices change and update the effective date above. Questions or privacy requests: rexyrex.dev@gmail.com.
