Privacy Policy — Passport Photo
Last updated: September 26, 2026
Passport Photo is built so your photos stay yours.
What the app does on your iPhone
Passport Photo processes photos entirely on your iPhone using Apple's on-device Vision and Core Image frameworks: finding your face, checking it against the photo size guide you picked, setting the background colour where the guide allows, and building the finished photo and print sheet. None of this leaves your device. The app has no server, and we cannot see, receive, or store your photos.
What we collect
Nothing. We do not operate any servers that this app talks to, and the app contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, and no tracking code. We do not know who uses this app, how often, or what photos they take.
What the app keeps on your iPhone:
- History. When you save or share a photo, the app keeps the original photo you started from, a small preview, and the settings you chose (photo size guide, background and framing), so you can reopen it and export it again later. You can delete any entry from History by swiping left on it, and deleting the app removes all of it.
- Two small preferences: your last-picked photo size guide, and a count of successful exports.
All of this is stored only in the app’s own storage on your iPhone. It is not synced to iCloud by the app and is never sent to us. Like any app data, it is included in your own iPhone backup if you use iCloud Backup or back up to a computer.
Camera and Photos permission
The app asks for camera access to take your photo, and Photos access to save the finished photo and print sheet. Both stay on your device — the camera permission is used only to capture the photo you are taking right now, and the Photos permission is add-only (saving your result). When you choose a photo from your library, iOS shows its own photo picker and gives the app only the one photo you pick; the app cannot browse the rest of your library.
Purchases
The one-time unlock ($4.99) is processed by Apple through StoreKit. Apple handles your payment method and billing; we do not receive or store your card details, and we do not receive your name, email, or billing address from a purchase. See Apple's own privacy policy for how Apple handles payment processing: apple.com/legal/privacy.
Children
This app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information from anyone at all.
