PRIVAKU Photos Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 15, 2026 · 日本語版はこちら

The short version: Your photos never leave your iPhone. All photo analysis runs on your iPhone. Online, the app sends usage stats and crash reports (you can turn both off in Settings) and downloads feature settings. None of this includes your photos or their content.

About PRIVAKU

PRIVAKU Photos is made by PRIVAKU. PRIVAKU is an on-device, offline LLM initiative to bring AI to the masses, without heavy token costs or privacy risks. This policy applies to the current PRIVAKU Photos app for iPhone. For PRIVAKU Photos, this policy takes precedence over the general PRIVAKU privacy policy.

Data this app collects

PRIVAKU Photos does not sell or share your photos or their content, and never uploads them. The data the app does send is described under "Firebase services" below. Specifically:

No advertising or ad tracking
Third-party SDKs: Google Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Remote Config only (see below)
No advertising or advertising identifiers
The app does not use a PRIVAKU login

On-device processing

All photo analysis, cleanup and search run on your iPhone. Your photos, the text found in your photos and your search queries never leave your iPhone. They are not sent to PRIVAKU or to any third party.

All photo analysis runs on your iPhone, and your photos never leave it. The app uses Firebase Analytics (usage stats) and Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports), on by default; you can turn both off in Settings > Share anonymous analytics. It also uses Firebase Remote Config to download feature settings; this is not affected by that switch. None of these include your photos or their content, and the app does not use the advertising identifier.

Firebase services

The app uses Firebase Remote Config to download feature settings. To do this, Firebase creates an app installation ID (a random identifier for your device). Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, described above, use similar random identifiers. None of these services receive your photos or their content, and the app does not use the advertising identifier. Google acts as the processor for this app; see Google’s privacy policy.

Photos access

PRIVAKU Photos asks for access to your photo library so it can analyse, search and help you clean up your photos on your iPhone. iOS lets you choose full access or limited access (only the photos you select). You can review or change this at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos > PRIVAKU Photos, or revoke access completely. If you limit or revoke access, the app can only work with the photos it is allowed to see.

Deleting photos

PRIVAKU Photos never deletes a photo on its own. A photo is deleted only after you confirm in the iOS system dialog. Deleted photos go to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, as with any deletion on iOS, where you can recover them for the period iOS keeps them.

Children

PRIVAKU Photos does not knowingly collect personal data from children. The usage stats, crash reports and installation ID described above contain no photo content and no advertising identifier.

Changes to this policy

PRIVAKU Photos uses Google Firebase only as described above, and does not use the advertising identifier. If this ever changes, this page, and its effective date, will be updated first.
