GeoLens Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

GeoLens is built so that your data never leaves your device.

What GeoLens accesses, and why

  • Camera — to capture the photos you take. Photos are processed entirely on your device.
  • Precise location — to stamp coordinates, altitude, heading, and address onto your photos and into their EXIF metadata. Location is read at capture time only and is never transmitted to us.
  • Photo library (add-only) — to save your stamped photos. GeoLens cannot read your existing photos.
  • Weather (Apple Weather) — your capture coordinates are sent to Apple's WeatherKit service to fetch current conditions, subject to Apple's privacy policy.
  • Maps (Apple Maps) — capture coordinates are used with Apple's MapKit to render the map tile on your stamp and reverse-geocode the address, subject to Apple's privacy policy.
  • Sign in with Apple (optional) — used solely to obtain your verified name for the "By:" line on stamps. The name is stored on your device only and can be removed at any time in Settings.

What GeoLens collects

Nothing. GeoLens has no servers, no analytics, no advertising, and no trackers. Your photos, location history, site labels, and name are stored on your device — and, for the free-tier capture counter, in your personal iCloud under your Apple ID, which is inaccessible to us.

Subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. Subscription entitlements are verified on-device through StoreKit.

Your control

Deleting a capture in GeoLens removes it from the app's storage (copies you saved to your Photos library remain yours, under your control). Removing your name in Settings deletes the only identity data the app holds. Uninstalling the app removes all app data from your device.
