Summary: Passport Cam processes all your photos on your device. We never upload, collect, or store your photos on any server. The only third-party service in the app is Google AdMob, which shows ads and may collect limited data as described below.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Passport Cam ("the App", "we", "us") handles your information when you use our mobile application to create passport-size and ID photos. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
- Your photos: All photo editing, background removal, and PDF creation happen entirely offline on your device. Your photos never leave your phone through our App.
- Personal details: We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, or any account information. The App works without any sign-up or login.
- Contacts, location, or files unrelated to the photos you choose to edit.
3. Permissions the App Uses
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Camera | To take a photo for your passport picture (only when you tap the camera option). |
| Photos / Gallery | To let you pick an existing photo and to save your finished passport photos and PDFs to your gallery. |
| Internet | Used only to load advertisements (Google AdMob) and fetch this privacy policy. Photo processing does not use the internet. |
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use certain data to serve ads, such as:
- Device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID)
- IP address and coarse location derived from it
- Device information (model, OS version, language)
- Ad interaction data (views, clicks)
This data is collected and processed by Google under its own privacy policy:
5. Your Consent Choices (EEA, UK & Switzerland — GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the App will show you a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) before showing personalized ads. You can:
- Consent to personalized ads,
- Choose non-personalized ads instead, or
- Change or withdraw your consent at any time from the "Privacy Options" setting inside the App.
Under the GDPR you also have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Since the App itself does not collect personal data, such requests generally concern data held by Google (see links above).
6. United States Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA and other state laws)
If you are a resident of California or another US state with a privacy law, you may have rights including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. The App itself does not sell your personal information. For data collected by Google AdMob, ad personalization choices are offered through the in-app consent/privacy options message where required, and via your device settings:
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization".
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
8. Data Security
Because your photos are processed and stored only on your own device, you remain in full control of them. Photos and PDFs you save stay in your device storage/gallery, and you can delete them at any time.
9. Data Retention
We do not retain any of your data on our servers, because we do not collect any. Ad-related data retention is governed by Google's policies linked above.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
