| Data Type | Source / Mechanism | Purpose | Storage Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Images & Videos | Device Camera | Capturing photos and rendering custom live telemetry stamp overlays (GPS, date/time, azimuth, notes). | Saved exclusively to the user's local device gallery (Fixlens album). Never uploaded to
TechNatch servers. |
| Precise & Coarse Location | GPS, GNSS, Cellular & Wi-Fi | Displaying live coordinates, altitude, Plus Codes, Indian land metrics (Gunta/Bigha), and reverse geocoding addresses on stamps. | Processed in foreground memory and stamped into pixels & EXIF metadata on user command. |
| Compass & Magnetometer | Device Hardware Sensors | Calculating real-time compass heading, cardinal direction, and architectural/Vastu facing orientations. | Volatile memory only during active viewfinder display. |
| Device & App Diagnostics | Version & OS details | Verifying minimum app version codes, license authentication, and crash diagnostic logs. | Queried via HTTPS during launch checks. |
To provide essential surveying and camera functionalities, Fixlens™ requests the following system permissions:
android.permission.CAMERA):
Required to access the camera hardware, display the live viewfinder, adjust exposure/zoom, and take
high-resolution field photos.
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION):
Required to capture real-time satellite telemetry, latitude/longitude, altitude, and accuracy metrics for stamp
composition and EXIF metadata.
Note: Fixlens does NOT request background location permissions (ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION).
Location is only queried while the application is actively in use in the foreground.
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES,
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE):
Required to save composited photos to the device gallery and display the quick-review gallery dock thumbnail.
android.permission.INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE):
Required for reverse geocoding (converting coordinates to street addresses), downloading map preview tiles,
checking for critical application updates, and loading advertisements.
Fixlens™ is purpose-built for remote field environments with intermittent or zero cellular connectivity.
