Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 14, 2026

Passport Photo AI ("we", "us", "the app") — the iPhone and iPad app and the web editor at photoforpassport.app — is built so you can produce passport, visa, and ID photos directly on your device. We collect as little data as possible — this page explains what, why, and for how long.

What stays on your device

Standard passport, visa and ID photo processing runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad and never leaves it:

  • Photo capture, cropping and background removal.
  • Lighting and color adjustments — brightness, contrast, white balance and similar.
  • AI photo verification against document requirements.
  • Documents you’ve saved in the app for re-use.

For this standard passport-photo flow we do not upload your photos anywhere.

Web editor

The web editor at photoforpassport.app/editor does the same work in your browser: cropping, background removal, lighting adjustments and the compliance checks run on your computer or phone, and your photo is not sent to us while you edit.

If you buy the watermark-free photo:

  • Payment is handled by Stripe, which acts as the seller of record and collects your email address and payment details. We never see your card number.
  • Your finished photo is emailed to you. Right before you go to the payment page, the editor uploads the finished photo to our server so we can email it to the address you give Stripe — even if you close the page after paying. If you don't complete the payment, the photo is deleted automatically after about a day. If you do, we keep it for 7 days so the download link in the email works, and then it is deleted automatically. We don't use it for anything else.
  • Your email address is used only to send you the photo and to answer you if you reply.

What we collect

We collect a small amount of information to keep the app working and to improve it:

  • App diagnostics and crash reports. When the app crashes or hits an unexpected error, we collect anonymous diagnostic data (device model, OS version, the error). This helps us fix bugs.
  • Aggregate usage analytics. We track anonymous events like "photo verified" or "purchase completed" to understand how the app is used. We do not link these to your identity.
  • Purchase records. In the app, Apple processes payments: we receive a purchase receipt from Apple to verify your access and do not see your card number, address, or full Apple ID. On the web, Stripe processes payments (see above).

Third-party services

We use the following services. Each handles your data only for the purpose listed.

  • Apple App Store — processes purchases and subscriptions. See Apple’s privacy policy.
  • Firebase / Google Analytics for Firebase — anonymous app usage and crash diagnostics.
  • Stripe — web payments, as seller of record. Receives your email address and payment details. See Stripe’s privacy policy.
  • Cloudflare — hosts the server that briefly stores web purchases’ finished photos (see “Web editor”).
  • Resend — sends the email with your purchased photo.
  • PostHog — anonymous app usage analytics.
  • Google Analytics — website usage analytics, only if you allow analytics cookies.
  • Meta SDK (Facebook) — install and ad attribution. We only send aggregate, non-personal signals required for measuring marketing campaigns.

Permissions we ask for

  • Camera — to let you take a photo inside the app.
  • Photo library (read) — so you can pick an existing photo to convert.
  • Photo library (add) — to save your finished passport photo back to your library.

You can deny or revoke any of these in iOS Settings at any time. The app will still work, with the relevant features disabled.

Your rights

Because we don’t collect identifying information by default, we cannot link analytics or diagnostic data back to you. If you bought on the web and want your photo or email address deleted before the 7 days are up, or have any other question about your data, email us:

info@photoforpassport.app

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes are reflected on this page with a new effective date.
