RemoteGPS for iPhone — Last updated: October 11, 2026

            Summary: RemoteGPS does not collect, store or transmit any personal data to us or to anyone else. Your location is sent only over Bluetooth to your own camera and, if you enable it, written to GPX files on your iPhone. The app has no servers and makes no internet connections.
        

Data Collection

RemoteGPS does not collect any personal information. The app:

Does not require an account or sign-in
Does not use analytics, crash reporting or tracking
Does not contain advertising
Does not connect to the internet
Does not access your contacts, photos, calendar or microphone

Location

RemoteGPS exists to give a DJI Osmo Action camera the GPS position it cannot measure itself. While the service is running, the app reads your iPhone's location and:

Sends it over Bluetooth to the camera you paired, which writes it into the metadata of the videos and photos it records. Location data in those files is then part of your own footage; keep this in mind when you share clips.
Optionally writes it to GPX track files on your iPhone (Settings → Save GPX Track). These files stay in the app's own storage, are visible to you in the Files app under On My iPhone → RemoteGPS, and are removed when you delete them in the app or uninstall it.

Location is never sent to us or to any third party. Background location access is used only so streaming to the camera continues while your iPhone is locked during filming; it stops when you stop the service.

Bluetooth

RemoteGPS uses Bluetooth to find and connect to your camera. It remembers the identifier of the last connected camera on your iPhone so it can reconnect faster. You can clear it with Settings → Forget Paired Camera.

Data Stored on Your Device

App settings (GPS push rate, Auto Record mode and thresholds, GPX logging on/off)
The identifier of the paired camera
GPX track files, if enabled

All of this stays on your iPhone and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Third Parties

RemoteGPS contains no third-party SDKs and shares no data with any service. RemoteGPS is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DJI.

Children

RemoteGPS does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Because the app collects no data at all, no such information is processed.
