Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
The short version
FotoLit doesn't collect your data. Your photos are looked at on your iPhone and never sent to us. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
Your photos
FotoLit asks for access to your photo library so you can review and clean it up. Everything it does with your photos happens on your device, including:
- Spotting blurry shots, lookalikes and bursts
- Reading the text in screenshots to sort them by type, using Apple's on-device language model when your iPhone has Apple Intelligence
- Grouping photos into trips using the location saved in each photo
Photos are only deleted when you confirm in the iOS prompt. Deleted photos go to the Recently Deleted album in Photos, where you can recover them for up to 30 days.
What's stored on your iPhone
To remember your progress, the app keeps a few things on your device: which photos you've kept or tossed, your stats and badges, scan results, trip names and your settings. The Home Screen widget gets a small summary, like how many photos are left.
This stays on your device (and in your device backups, like any app's data). Deleting the app deletes it.
Apple services the app uses
FotoLit has no servers of its own. A few features use Apple's services, which are covered by Apple's Privacy Policy:
- iCloud Photos: if your photos are in iCloud, iOS may download them so you can see them.
- Trip names and maps: to name a trip (like "Lisbon, Portugal"), its approximate location is sent to Apple Maps. Map views load map tiles from Apple.
- Tips: tips are handled by the App Store. We never see your payment details.
- Siri and Shortcuts: handled by iOS on your device and Apple's services.
Daily reminders are off unless you turn them on. They are scheduled on your iPhone; nothing is sent to us.
What we collect
Nothing. FotoLit doesn't include analytics, advertising or third-party tracking tools, and we can't see your photos, your library or how you use the app. If you email us, we only use your message to reply.
Children
FotoLit doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
