Privacy Policy
Photo by Photo is developed by YiFeng Chen. Photo by Photo does not collect any of your personal data.
No data collection
Photo by Photo has no accounts, no ads, no third-party statistics or analytics tools, and no servers of its own. The developer cannot see your photos and does not receive any information about how you use the app.
Photo access
Photo by Photo needs access to your photo library to browse, favorite, add photos to or remove them from albums, and delete photos after you confirm. All processing takes place on your iPhone. You can change which photos Photo by Photo can access at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos.
Data stored on your device
The Pending Deletion list and browsing progress are stored only in Photo by Photo’s local storage and are not uploaded. If you enable iCloud Backup, they are included in your iOS device backup like other apps’ data. Deleting Photo by Photo also deletes this data.
Features that use system services to connect to the internet
Photo by Photo itself does not send network requests. The following features are handled by Apple’s system services and may connect to the internet:
- When photos or videos are stored in iCloud, the system downloads them from iCloud;
- Place names in photo info are looked up by Apple’s geocoding service using the photo’s location coordinates;
- Maps in photo info are provided by Apple Maps.
These services are subject to Apple’s privacy policy.
Deleting photos
Photo by Photo deletes photos through the system only after you confirm on the Pending Deletion page. Deleted photos go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app. If iCloud Photos is enabled, deletions sync to other devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
Sharing and saving
Only when you choose Share or Save to Files does Photo by Photo generate files and hand them to the destination you choose. Shared copies have location information removed; Save to Files preserves the original files and all information.
Policy changes
If this policy changes, this page and the effective date will be updated.
