Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
RapidPhoto processes 100% of your photos on your Mac. We do not upload images to our servers, cloud storage, or any third-party service. Your photos never leave your device.
What We Do Not Collect
- Your photos or any image data
- Telemetry or usage analytics
- Personal information (name, email, location)
- Device identifiers or hardware information
- IP addresses or network activity logs
- Keyboard input or clipboard data
How RapidPhoto Works
RapidPhoto is a fully sandboxed native Mac application. Image processing happens entirely on your device using:
- Apple Metal GPU: For accelerated image processing (crop, resize, effects)
- CoreML: For on-device AI models (background removal, face detection, upscaling, OCR)
- macOS File APIs: To read and write files only within folders you explicitly grant permission to
No data is transmitted over the network except to check for app updates (which is opt-in via System Preferences).
Permissions
RapidPhoto requests file access permissions only for folders you choose to process. You maintain full control over which folders the app can access. On macOS, file access is protected by the system's sandboxing and privacy controls.
We never request: Camera access, microphone access, contacts, calendar, or location data.
App Store Privacy Labels
RapidPhoto's privacy label on the Mac App Store accurately reflects that we collect zero data. All processing happens on-device with no network transmission of images or personal information.
AI Disclosure
RapidPhoto includes AI-powered features (background removal, face blur, upscaling, OCR) that run entirely on your Mac using Apple's CoreML framework. These models process images locally and do not transmit data to external AI services or cloud APIs.
When you use these features, you have the option to add an AI disclosure flag to your image metadata (IPTC field) to comply with platform requirements (e.g., "Edited with AI" on some social media platforms).
Third-Party Services
RapidPhoto does not integrate with third-party analytics, crash reporting, or tracking services. There is no Firebase, Mixpanel, Sentry, or similar telemetry.
Updates
When you check for app updates, your Mac's system software communicates with Apple's App Store servers. RapidPhoto does not receive any information about this connection.
Children's Privacy
RapidPhoto is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If a child has provided information through RapidPhoto, we encourage the child's parent or guardian to contact us so we can delete that information.
GDPR and CCPA Compliance
Since RapidPhoto collects no personal data, GDPR and CCPA do not apply to data collection by RapidPhoto itself. However:
- You have full control over your files on your device
- You can delete RapidPhoto and all associated data by moving it to Trash
- RapidPhoto never exports your image data to third parties
