GRPS
Geotagging for Ricoh GR III and GR IV
We don’t collect anything about you. Not your name, not your email, not where you have been, not the photographs you take. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no server of ours for anything to be sent to.
GRPS moves data between two things you own — your phone and your camera — and we are not in the middle of it. That is the whole design, and this page is mostly a list of the places we are not.
What GRPS does on your device
GRPS asks for four permissions, and each is used for one thing:
- Location, so it can send your position to the camera, which is what geotagging is. The position goes to the camera over Bluetooth and nowhere else. It is not stored by the app or logged anywhere.
- Bluetooth, so it can find and talk to your camera.
- Local network, so it can download photos over the camera’s own WiFi network when you use photo sync.
- Photo library, so it can save the photos it downloads. This is add-only access: GRPS can put pictures into your library and cannot read the ones already there.
The only network address GRPS ever connects to is the camera itself, on the local network. It has no other destination.
What reaches us
Nothing.
Your location does not reach us. Your photographs do not reach us — they go from the camera to your phone, over your own WiFi, and stop there.
Buying the app
GRPS is sold through the App Store, and its purchases are handled by Apple’s system, so the transaction is between you and Apple. We never see your payment details. The record of what you have bought is kept in your device’s keychain so the app knows what to unlock. Apple gives us anonymous sales figures, which say how many copies sold in which countries, and nothing about who bought them.
Children
GRPS collects nothing from anyone, so there is nothing to collect from a child either. We don’t knowingly collect data from children.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to it being processed. You are welcome to ask. The answer will be that we hold none, because the app sends us none.
Your location is personal data, and it is worth being precise about it: GRPS processes it on your device, in order to hand it to your camera. We are not a recipient of it at any point.
If you are unsatisfied with how we have handled a question, you can complain to your data protection authority. In Sweden that is Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears on this page. We would only expect to change it if GRPS itself changed in a way that made the above untrue.
