Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-09-04
Photos, saved searches and the licence key stay local (on this device or the external drive); the app does not store your data on a server.
When connections occur
The app makes no network requests and has no accounts, sign-in, advertising or analytics. The model is installed with the app and is not downloaded during use.
Photo classification also runs locally.
When you back up, if your photo originals are in iCloud, you can choose "Back Up What Is on the Phone" or "Download and Back Up Everything". Only the second option makes iOS fetch the originals from iCloud; that connection is between your Apple account and Apple. Photo previews and other features use only what is already on this device.
Photo library access
The app asks to read your photo library only when you start a backup, to copy the photos you choose to the external drive. Without a drive connected, it does not ask.
You can choose full access or limited access; limited access lets the app see only the photos you choose. You can change or withdraw permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos.
The app does not delete, edit or move photos in your library. To remove backed-up photos from your phone, use the Photos app.
What stays on this device
- Data used for search and classification, plus photo previews.
- Settings such as the licence key, external-drive name, searches you save as albums and their names, category names and hidden photos.
- Data used to identify this device on the drive; it is not an Apple ID or a hardware serial number.
- Error and usage-count records left by the app, not photos, paths or what you enter; they stay on this device.
Search data, photo previews and settings are excluded from iCloud and computer backups of the device. When you switch phones, add the external drive again and refresh this data; your photos remain on the drive.
What you enter is used only for the current match and is not recorded; only searches you deliberately save as albums are written to settings.
What stays on the external drive
- Photo originals copied into
DCIM; existing metadata (capture time, camera and location when present) is kept. - Each photo's file name, size, checksum, capture time and time zone, dimensions, screenshot and favourite status, source device, backup time, and deletion and restore records.
- A roster of devices that used this drive and the names you entered; the app does not read phone names.
Data on the drive can be read directly; anyone holding the drive can see it. Photos remain recoverable even if the app is gone.
The drive is shared. Everyone who adds the same drive can see all photos, deletion records and who deleted them.
Deletion
- Deleting a photo in the app moves it to the drive's Recently Deleted; it can be restored for 30 days, then is removed from the drive.
- Removing the drive in Settings does not change its contents.
- Remove the licence key with Settings → Licence → Remove Key.
- Deleting the app removes search data, photo previews, settings, the key and error records from this device; files on the drive are unaffected, and you decide whether to keep them.
Licence key
The licence key you paste into Settings stays only in this device's settings file, is not sent, and can be removed.
TestFlight (beta builds)
If you installed through TestFlight:
- When the app crashes, TestFlight asks whether to send crash details; they are sent only if you agree.
- Feedback you submit, including text and screenshots, is sent to us; we see everything in a screenshot, so do not include anything you do not want to share.
- For testers invited by email, we see their name and email address; for public-link testers, we do not see those details but can see sessions, crashes, install date and version.
- Apple keeps crash reports available for us to download for 120 days.
Other apps and services
The app does not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and does not provide, sell or share your data with anyone.
When you tap Share and choose another app, the photo goes directly to that app, not through us.
Children
The app collects no data, including from children.
Your rights
We do not have your data, so we cannot provide, correct or delete it; the available methods are in “Deletion” above.
Changes
We update the “Last updated” date when this page changes.

隱私政策
最後更新：2026-09-04
照片、搜尋記錄和授權金鑰留在本地（這台裝置或儲存裝置），App 不會在伺服器上儲存您的資料。
什麼時候會連線
App 不發出網路請求，也沒有帳號、登入、廣告或分析工具。模型隨 App 安裝，使用時不會下載。
照片分類也在本地完成。
備份時，如果照片原檔在 iCloud，您可以選「只備份手機上已有的」或「下載並備份全部」。只有選擇後者，iOS 才會向 iCloud 取回原檔；這是您的 Apple 帳號與 Apple 之間的連線。照片預覽和其他功能只使用這台裝置上已有的內容。
相簿權限
App 只在您開始備份時要求讀取相簿，因為要把您選的照片複製到儲存裝置。未接儲存裝置時，不會要求。
您可以選「允許完整取用」或「限制取用」；限制取用只讓 App 看到您選的照片。您可以隨時在 iOS 的「設定」→「隱私權與安全性」→「照片」更改或收回權限。
App 不會刪除、修改或搬移您相簿裡的照片。要從手機移除已備份的照片，請在「照片」App 操作。
這台裝置會儲存什麼
- 搜尋和分類所需的資料，以及照片預覽。
- 設定資訊：授權金鑰、儲存裝置名稱、您存成相簿的搜尋記錄與相簿名稱、分類名稱和您隱藏的照片。
- 儲存裝置用來辨認這台裝置的資料；不是 Apple ID 或硬體序號。
- App 留下的錯誤與使用次數紀錄，不含照片、路徑或您輸入的內容，留在這台裝置上。
搜尋資料、照片預覽和設定不會進入 iCloud 或電腦的裝置備份。換手機時，您要重新加入儲存裝置並重新整理這些資料；照片仍在儲存裝置上。
您輸入的內容只用來當下比對，不會被記錄；只有您主動「存成相簿」的搜尋記錄會寫入設定。
儲存裝置會儲存什麼
- 照片原檔完整複製到
DCIM資料夾；原有中繼資料（拍攝時間、相機，以及照片有提供時的拍攝地點）會保留。 - 每張照片的檔名、大小、校驗碼、拍攝時間與時區、尺寸、截圖與最愛狀態、來源裝置、備份時間，以及刪除與還原紀錄。
- 使用過這個儲存裝置的裝置名冊，以及您輸入的名稱；App 不會讀取手機名稱。
儲存裝置上的資料可以直接讀取；拿到儲存裝置的人都能看到。即使 App 不在了，照片仍可取回。
儲存裝置是共用的。加入同一個儲存裝置的人都能看到全部照片、刪除紀錄和刪除者。
刪除
- 在 App 裡刪除照片後，會移到儲存裝置上的「最近刪除」，30 天內可還原，之後才從儲存裝置刪除。
- 在「設定」中移除儲存裝置，不會改動其中內容。
- 移除授權金鑰：「設定」→「授權」→「移除金鑰」。
- 刪除 App 會刪除這台裝置上的搜尋資料、照片預覽、設定、金鑰和錯誤紀錄；儲存裝置上的檔案不受影響，是否保留由您決定。
授權金鑰
您貼進「設定」的授權金鑰只存在這台裝置的設定檔，不會送出，也可以移除。
TestFlight（測試版）
如果您透過 TestFlight 安裝測試版：
- App 當機時，TestFlight 會詢問您是否要傳送當機資料；只有您同意才會送出。
- 您提交的文字和截圖會送給我們；截圖中的內容我們都看得到，請不要放入不想分享的畫面。
- 透過邀請信加入的測試者，我們看得到姓名和 email；透過公開連結加入的測試者，我們看不到這些資料，但看得到使用次數、當機次數、安裝日期和版本。
- Apple 會保留當機報告供我們下載 120 天。
其他 App 與服務
App 不使用分析、廣告或追蹤工具，也不會向任何人提供、出售或分享您的資料。
您按「分享」選擇其他 App 後，照片會直接交給該 App，不經過我們。
兒童
App 不蒐集資料，包括兒童資料。
您的權利
我們沒有您的資料，無法替您查詢、更正或刪除；您能採取的方法都在上面的「刪除」一節。
變更
頁面變更時，我們會更新頁首的「最後更新」日期。
