Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Cutout is a local-first iOS app. Subject lifting runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework. Most users will never touch our servers.

What we collect

• Nothing by default. Your photos, cutouts, and projects stay on your iPhone in app storage. They are not uploaded, mirrored, or logged anywhere.
• App Store purchase state. If you buy Cutout Pro, Apple tells your device "this Apple ID is entitled." We never see your card details, name, or email.

What we never do

• No third-party analytics SDKs (no Mixpanel, Amplitude, Firebase, PostHog).
• No advertising SDKs.
• No crash-reporting SDKs. We rely on Apple's built-in MetricKit only.
• No selling, no sharing, no "anonymized aggregate" reselling.
• No cloud image processing. Subject lift is fully on-device.

Apple services

• Vision framework — Apple's on-device foreground-instance API does the subject lift locally. No network call.
• Photos — Cutout reads photos you pick and writes exports back, with your permission. We see only the bytes you hand us.
• App Store — processes your one-time $14.99 unlock. We see a transaction identifier; never your card.

How long we keep things

On-device: forever, until you delete the app or tap "Delete everything" in Settings. On our servers: nothing — we don't have user records.

Children

Cutout is suitable for ages 4+. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone, adult or child, because we don't collect data at all by default.
