Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026 · Applies to PhotoKit (App Store, iPhone, iPad and Mac) and PhotoKit Complete (Mac download).
The short version
PhotoKit does not collect, store, or share any personal data. Your photos are processed entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and there is no analytics, advertising or tracking.
Your photos
- Every job (enlarging, background removal, enhancing, converting) runs on your device using AI models built into the app.
- Photos you open and the results of your jobs are stored only on your device, inside the app's private container, in its gallery. You can delete them at any time from the Gallery screen, or by deleting the app.
- When you choose “Save to Photos”, PhotoKit asks for permission to add photos to your library. It never reads your library; photos you pick are handed to the app by the system picker.
- Converting can keep or remove photo metadata such as location. By default, location is removed from converted files.
Purchases
- App Store: purchases are handled by Apple. We receive no payment details or personal information; the app only checks your purchase status with Apple on your device.
- PhotoKit Complete (website): payments are processed by Stripe or Mercado Pago, under their privacy policies. We receive your email address and an order reference so we can issue your license. The license key, which contains that email address, is stored in your Keychain on your Mac. We keep order records only as long as needed for licensing, refunds and legal obligations, and never use them for marketing.
- The count of free AI jobs used is stored on your device (Keychain and app settings) and may sync through your own iCloud Keychain. It is never sent to us.
