Privacy Policy for Pitara
Last updated: March 2026
Pitara is designed with privacy as a core principle. The application runs locally on your computer and does not upload your photos or personal data to any server except for limited GPS coordinate translation described below.
This Privacy Policy explains how Pitara handles information.
Information Pitara Does Not Collect
Pitara does not collect, store, or transmit personal information.
Specifically, Pitara does not collect:
- Names
- Email addresses
- Account information
- Device identifiers
- Usage analytics
- Photo files or image content
Pitara does not require user accounts or registration.
File Access
In order to help you organize and search your photo collection, Pitara reads photo files stored on your computer. This access is limited to extracting metadata such as file names, timestamps, tags, and GPS coordinates embedded within the image.
Pitara does not modify your original photos and does not upload or transmit them anywhere.
Photo Processing
Pitara scans photos stored on your computer in order to help organize and search them efficiently.
- All photo processing happens locally on your device.
- Your photos remain on your computer and are never uploaded or shared with external services.
GPS Location Information
Some photos contain GPS coordinates embedded in their metadata. Pitara may read this information to translate the coordinates into a human-readable location name, such as a city or region (for example, Seattle).
To perform this translation, Pitara may contact a Pitara-operated service on the internet. Only the GPS coordinates are sent for this purpose. No photos, image content, or other metadata are transmitted.
This is the only scenario in which Pitara communicates with an external service. The service simply converts geographic coordinates into a location name and returns that information to the application.
Data Storage
Any tags, indexes, or metadata created by Pitara are stored locally on your device.
If you uninstall the application, this data remains on your computer unless you choose to remove it.
Internet Connectivity
Pitara does not require an internet connection for most of its functionality. The only optional internet communication occurs when GPS coordinates are translated into location names as described above.
Pitara does not upload photos, synchronize files to the cloud, or transmit personal data.
Third-Party Services
Pitara does not integrate with third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or tracking tools.
Website Download Analytics
When you download Pitara from this website, the server stores a minimal log entry:
- Timestamp
- IP address
- User agent
- Referrer (if provided by your browser)
This information is used solely for understanding download patterns and is not shared with third parties.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any updates will be posted on the Pitara website.
