Privacy Policy for Cutout Mode

Effective Date: October 19, 2026
App Name: Cutout Mode
Package Name: com.jaswanth.cutoutmode
Developer: Jaswanth

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cutout Mode ("the App"). Cutout Mode is a photo-editing application designed to remove image backgrounds, refine cutouts, and create transparent PNG images.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the App accesses, processes, stores, and shares information when you use its features.

Cutout Mode is designed to process images locally on your device without requiring an account or a personal profile for its core functionality.

2. Information We Access

Photos and Images

When you select a photo, the App accesses the image you choose to perform background removal and editing.

Images may be processed to:

• Identify the foreground subject.

• Generate or refine a background-removal mask.

• Apply erase and restore edits.

• Preview transparent images.

• Export PNG or JPG files.

The App is designed to process selected images on your device. Your photos are not uploaded to a developer-controlled server by the core image-editing functionality.

The App does not need access to your entire photo library when you use the Android system Photo Picker to select an image.

Edited Images and Local Projects

The App may store edited images, temporary processing files, project information, and application preferences locally on your device to support editing and saved creations.

You can manage or delete saved projects using the App's available controls.

Application Preferences

The App may store settings such as your preferred theme, haptic feedback preference, and animation settings locally on your device.

3. How We Use Information

Information accessed by the App is used to provide its intended features, including:

• Removing backgrounds from selected photos.

• Editing and refining image cutouts.

• Creating transparent PNG files.

• Exporting JPG files with a selected background.

• Saving and reopening local projects.

• Remembering application preferences.

• Maintaining the stability and functionality of the App.

We do not use your photos to build advertising profiles or sell your personal images.

4. Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence

Background removal may use an image-segmentation or machine-learning model integrated into the App.

Where the model is bundled with the App and processing is performed locally, the selected image is processed on your device without being sent to an external AI service.

The precise processing method depends on the model and implementation included in the installed version of the App.

If a future version introduces remote processing or an external AI service, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the applicable data handling before that feature is introduced.

5. Storage and Export

The App may store working files and saved projects in its private application storage.

When you export an image, the App can save it to an appropriate location on your device, such as your image gallery.

When you choose to share an image, Android's sharing functionality may provide the image to the application or recipient you select.

Once an image is exported or shared, its subsequent handling may be governed by the receiving application or service.

You are responsible for choosing which images you export or share.

6. Information We Collect

The core image-editing functionality is designed not to require your name, email address, telephone number, account credentials, contacts, or precise location.

The App does not require account registration.

The developer does not receive selected photos or locally saved projects through the core image-editing functionality.

If a future version includes advertising, analytics, crash-reporting tools, or other third-party SDKs, those services may process certain technical information under their applicable privacy policies. The App's disclosures will be updated to accurately describe any such collection and sharing.

7. Third-Party Services

The core image-editing functionality is designed to operate without a developer-controlled backend.

If third-party services are included in a particular version, such as advertising, analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs, those services may process information necessary for their functions.

Any applicable third-party data collection, use, and sharing will be disclosed in this Privacy Policy and through the relevant service's privacy information.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party applications they use to receive or share images.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or your photos.

The core image-editing functionality is designed not to transmit your selected photos to the developer.

Information may be shared when you explicitly choose to export or share an image through another application.

If third-party SDKs are included in a release, any data they collect or share will be handled according to the applicable disclosures and their respective privacy policies.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Images and projects stored locally remain on your device until you delete them or they are removed through the App's available controls.

You can delete saved creations using the App's project-management features, where available.

You can also clear local application data or uninstall the App through Android settings. These actions may permanently remove locally stored projects and preferences.

Exported images saved in your device's gallery may remain there after a project is deleted or the App is uninstalled. You may need to delete those exported images separately.

Temporary processing files should be removed when no longer needed.

Because the core functionality does not require a user account or developer-controlled image storage, there is no account-based image deletion process for that functionality.

10. Data Security

The App is designed to use Android's application storage protections and standard platform security features where appropriate.

No method of electronic storage or data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should keep their devices updated and use appropriate device security protections.

11. Children's Privacy

Cutout Mode is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

The App's core functionality does not require account registration or the submission of personal information to the developer.

If the intended audience or included third-party services change, the App's privacy practices and applicable requirements will be reviewed accordingly.

12. Your Choices and Controls

You can control how you use the App by:

• Selecting only the photos you want to edit.

• Choosing whether to export or share an image.

• Deleting locally saved projects.

• Changing application preferences.

• Clearing local application data or uninstalling the App.

You can also manage Android permissions through your device settings.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the App, its features, applicable legal requirements, or third-party integrations.

The updated policy will be published at the privacy-policy URL associated with the App. The effective date at the top will be revised when appropriate.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.
