Photo Hop is built with a privacy-first approach. We want to be clear about what we DON'T collect:

• Your Photos: We never access, store, copy, or transmit your photos
• Photo Metadata: EXIF data, locations, dates remain private on your device
• Personal Information: No names, emails, phone numbers, or contact details
• Usage Analytics: We don't track how you use the app or which photos you view
• Device Information: No device IDs, advertising identifiers, or hardware details
• Location Data: No GPS coordinates or location-based information
• Biometric Data: No face recognition data from photos

Photo Hop operates entirely on your device using Apple's Photos framework:

• Photos Access: Uses Apple's PHPhotoLibrary framework for read-only access
• Date Calculations: All time-based calculations happen locally using device processing
• Navigation Logic: Smart date jumping is computed on your iPhone
• Caching: Temporary performance data is stored only in device memory
• No Network: The app functions completely offline after initial download

Photo Hop requests minimal permissions to provide its core functionality:

• No Cloud Storage: Photo Hop doesn't store any data in the cloud or on external servers
• Device Storage: Only app preferences and cache data are stored locally in the app's sandbox
• iOS Security: Leverages Apple's built-in security features and app sandboxing
• No Backup: No user data is included in app backups since we don't store personal information
• Memory Management: Temporary data is automatically cleared when the app closes

Photo Hop is designed to work independently without third-party services:

• No Analytics: We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, or similar tracking services
• No Advertising: No ad networks or advertising identifiers
• No Social Media: No integration with social platforms that could access your data
• Apple Services Only: Uses only Apple's native iOS frameworks and services

When you share photos through Photo Hop:

• User Control: You explicitly choose which photos to share
• iOS Share Sheet: Uses Apple's native sharing system
• Direct Transfer: Photos go directly to your chosen destination app
• No Intermediary: Photo Hop doesn't process or store shared photos
• Original Quality: Maintains original photo quality and metadata

Photo Hop is suitable for all ages and provides additional protection for children:

• No Data Collection: We don't collect personal information from users of any age
• Local Processing: All functionality works without internet connectivity
• Parental Control: Parents maintain full control through iOS parental controls
• COPPA Compliant: Meets requirements for children under 13

Since Photo Hop doesn't collect personal data, you maintain complete control:

• Photo Access: Revoke photo library access anytime in iOS Settings
• App Deletion: Deleting the app removes all associated data
• No Account: No user accounts means no data to manage or delete
• iOS Controls: Use iPhone's built-in privacy controls

Photo Hop's privacy-first design protects users worldwide:

• GDPR Compliant: No personal data processing means automatic compliance
• Global Privacy: Same privacy protections for all users regardless of location
• Local Processing: Data never crosses international borders
• No Transfers: No international data transfers to worry about

Our commitment to privacy remains constant:

• Privacy Maintained: App updates will maintain the same privacy-first approach
• Policy Updates: Privacy policy changes will be reflected here with updated dates
• User Notification: Significant privacy changes will be communicated through app updates
• Backwards Compatible: Privacy protections will never be reduced

Since Photo Hop doesn't collect personal data, most privacy concerns are addressed by the app's design itself.
