Summary: Photo Privacy Tool processes all your photos locally on your device. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of your photos or personal data.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Photo Privacy Tool ("we," "our," or "the App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our App handles information when you use our services.
By using Photo Privacy Tool, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information.
Photo Privacy Tool is designed with privacy as the core principle. Specifically:
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any contact information
- We do not collect your photos or images
- We do not collect location data
- We do not collect device identifiers
- We do not collect usage analytics or tracking data
- We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
3. How We Process Your Photos
All photo processing occurs entirely on your device:
- Photos you select are processed locally within the App
- Metadata removal happens entirely on your device
- Processed photos are saved directly to your photo library
- Your photos are never uploaded to any server
- We have no access to your photos at any point
4. Data Storage
Photo Privacy Tool does not store any of your data on external servers. All operations are performed locally on your device. The App does not create any external backups or cloud storage of your information.
5. Third-Party Services
Photo Privacy Tool does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media platforms. We operate completely independently.
6. Location Services
The App uses Apple's built-in geocoding service (CLGeocoder) to convert GPS coordinates from your photos into readable addresses. This service:
- Is provided by Apple as part of iOS
- Requires an internet connection to function
- Is subject to Apple's privacy policy
- Does not share your data with us
You can use the App without the geocoding feature by not granting location-related permissions.
7. Photo Library Access
The App requests access to your photo library for the following purposes only:
- Read Access: To select and process photos you choose
- Write Access: To save processed photos back to your library
The App only accesses photos that you explicitly select. It does not scan or access other photos in your library.
8. Children's Privacy
Photo Privacy Tool is safe for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, our App is appropriate for children. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
9. Security
Since all processing happens locally on your device and we do not collect or store any data, there is minimal security risk. Your photos never leave your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security.
10. Your Rights
Because we do not collect any personal information, there is no data to:
- Access or export
- Delete or modify
- Transfer to another service
You maintain complete control over your data at all times.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
- Notify you through the App if significant changes are made
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
