Our Commitment to Privacy
At Outtakes Labs, we believe your photos are deeply personal. Outtakes Photo Cleaner is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, upload, store, or have any access to your photos or personal data.

Everything happens locally on your device. Your photos never leave your iPhone.

- Display your photos within the App
- Calculate statistics about your photo library
- Identify potential duplicate photos
- Facilitate the deletion process
