Your photos stay on your device

Here is a straightforward summary of what happens to your data when you use Cutout. It is written in plain language, without jargon.

  • Photo processing stays local

    Photos, editing masks, background selections, and finished editing operations are processed on your device. They are not uploaded to a developer-operated image-processing server.

  • Local history you control

    Cutout can store up to 24 recent uploads inside private application storage so you can reopen recent work. You can delete individual items, or clear everything at once.

  • Advertising data handled by Google

    Google Mobile Ads may process or share approximate location inferred from your IP address, app interactions, diagnostics and performance information, and identifiers such as the Advertising ID or app-set ID.

  • Sign-in is optional

    You can skip sign-in and use the full editor. If you do sign in with Google, basic profile details can be stored locally to remember the session.

  • Encrypted in transit

    Traffic handled by Google advertising and authentication services is encrypted in transit.

  • No account required

    Cutout has no developer-operated account server, so there is no account to create, and nothing to recover if you uninstall.

How advertising data can be used

Depending on your consent, device settings, and region, information processed by Google advertising services can be used for:

  • Showing advertisements, including personalised advertising where permitted
  • Measurement and analytics of ad performance
  • Security, spam prevention, and fraud prevention

Cutout uses Google's User Messaging Platform to collect and respect applicable advertising consent choices.

Your controls

  • Delete your data — remove individual uploads, clear all local app data, or delete exported files.
  • Read the full Privacy Policy — the complete detail behind this summary.
  • Android advertising controls — open Settings → Google → All services → Ads to reset or delete your advertising ID and manage ad personalisation. Exact wording varies by device and Android version.
  • Google Privacy Policy — how Google handles the data its services process.

Why this page does not say “we collect no data”

Background removal happens on your device, but Cutout contains advertising and uses Google services. Those services process limited technical and advertising information, so claiming zero data collection would not be accurate.
