What GPS Map Camera does with your data
A free geotagging camera app that keeps photos on your device but funds itself with personalised ads: it collects precise GPS, your advertising ID and usage data, and shares them with Google, AdMob, Firebase, Apple and weather providers.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.
Show me where they say that
GPS Map Camera’s own policy says “We use trusted third parties to provide essential services for the App. These providers may receive specific data needed to perform their functions:”
Our summary names Google LLC (Play Services, Play Billing, AdMob, Maps/Geocoding, Firebase analytics and crash reporting), Apple Inc., weather data providers, advertising networks and analytics/crash-reporting providers as recipients of data.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.

GPS Map Camera’s own policy says “To deliver advertising — free users are shown advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdMob). These ads may be personalized based on your Advertising Identifier and other data collected by ad networks.”

-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that

-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.

What the policy does not mention
These are uses GPS Map Camera’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.
