Photo Tidy Privacy
Last updated: September 2026
Photo Tidy is designed with privacy in mind. Your photos and photo metadata are processed locally on your device whenever supported by the application.
Your Photos
Photo Tidy does not upload your photos to Photo Tidy servers for photo organization or local image processing.
Your original photos remain in their existing locations unless you explicitly choose to export or delete files.
Photo Tidy does not claim ownership of your photos or other content.
Local Processing
Photo Tidy performs supported photo analysis and image processing locally on your device.
This may include:
- Reading photo metadata
- Analyzing image properties
- Grouping and organizing photos
- Running supported AI models
- Generating image analysis results
- Exporting photos to a folder you choose
Supported AI models are designed to run locally on your device. Your photos do not need to be uploaded to a cloud service for these operations.
Data Collection
Photo Tidy does not collect or sell your personal data.
Photo Tidy does not require you to create an account to organize your photos.
Photo Tidy does not use your photos, photo metadata, or AI analysis results for advertising or profiling.
Photo Metadata
Photo Tidy may read metadata embedded in your photo files to provide organization and information features.
Depending on the photo, this may include:
- Date and time
- Camera and lens information
- Location
- Artist
- Image dimensions
- File format
This information is processed locally on your device and is used to provide Photo Tidy's features.
Location Information
If a photo contains GPS information, Photo Tidy may use it to determine a corresponding geographic location for organization and display.
Location processing is performed locally on your device.
Photo Tidy does not send your photo location information to Photo Tidy servers.
Exported Files
When you use Export Photos, Photo Tidy creates copies of your photos in the destination folder you choose.
Exported files are written directly to the destination on your device.
Photo Tidy does not upload exported files to Photo Tidy servers.
Network Access
Photo Tidy is designed so that core photo organization and local image processing can work without uploading your photos to a remote service.
Some optional features or external services may require network access when explicitly used. If a feature requires network access, Photo Tidy will use the connection only as necessary to provide that feature.
Third-Party Software
Photo Tidy includes third-party libraries, open-source components, and local AI models.
These components may have their own licenses and notices. Information about third-party software is available in Third-Party Licenses.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when Photo Tidy's features or data practices change.
The latest version will be included with the application or published through the official Photo Tidy website.
