Agreement to Terms
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Photo Proof mobile application (“App”, “Service”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
By downloading, installing, or using Photo Proof, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
Description of Service
Photo Proof is a mobile application that enables users to:
- Capture photos within the app environment
- Automatically record live GPS location, date, time, and timezone
- Generate a unique verification ID for each image
- Display selected metadata on image templates
- Share or save verified images
Photo Proof is designed to improve authenticity and reduce photo-based misrepresentation.
Internet & GPS Requirement
Photo Proof requires:
- An active internet connection
- GPS/location services enabled
The App will not function properly without these services. This requirement ensures real-time metadata capture and prevents manipulation.
You are responsible for any data charges incurred while using the App.
User Responsibilities
You agree that you will:
- Use the App only for lawful purposes
- Not attempt to manipulate, bypass, or interfere with GPS or internet validation
- Not reverse engineer, copy, modify, or exploit the App
- Not use the App to create misleading, fraudulent, or illegal documentation
You are solely responsible for how you use captured images.
Verification ID System
Each photo captured within the App is assigned a unique verification ID.
The verification system confirms:
- That the photo was captured within the app
- Associated timestamp
- GPS metadata
- Timezone information
The verification ID confirms authenticity of capture data but does not independently verify the factual accuracy of what is depicted in the image.
Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in the App — including software, design, logos, trademarks, and technology — are owned by:
Cogniter Technologies
You may not:
- Copy or redistribute the App

Disclaimer of Warranties
