Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 18, 2026

Welcome to fotolokashen. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our web application and iOS app.

1. Our Mission

Fotolokashen is a professional production management app. The intent is to track production location features for future use, sharing with colleagues, and adding to your film projects during all phases of production. The most important part: to make it easy for our community to do so. You can connect with friends and allow access to each other's location tracking. A production manager, photographer, producer, or any part of a production can see this info unless you limit access. You can also make your location public and anyone can see it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information: Email address, name, and password when you create an account
Location Data: Places you save, including addresses, coordinates, and notes you add
Photos: Images you upload to associate with your saved locations
Usage Data: How you interact with our app, including features used and time spent
Device Information: Device type, operating system, and app version for troubleshooting

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Provide and maintain our service
Store and sync your saved locations across devices
Display your photos alongside your saved locations
Send important service updates and notifications
Respond to your support requests
Improve our app based on usage patterns

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We use secure cloud infrastructure to store your account information, locations, and photos. All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS protocols. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

5. Your Password

Once your password is validated for security we cannot read it. It is encrypted. Do not share your password or account with another person — this is a security risk. Your password should be unique to this app. We will never ask for your password.

Google Maps API: To display maps and search for locations

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.
